Think Before Throwing Something Into The Soil

I am all for green living. I do everything I can so my children can still see rivers and mountains when they grown up. I have taught my eldest how to segregate our waste and I am proud to say that we are still doing it, despite the fact that many do not do their share. I delight myself in the thought of companies supporting the bring your own bag campaign. And I truly find usage of brown bags classy.

Today, I saw this over at Facebook and I think it is a great piece of information. Let us all be guided properly and reduce the green house effect, thus saving our planet.

    I am all for saving our environment. If we all try to do something in our own little way I’m sure we’ll be able to save our environment.

    Living in an eco-friendly society is one good thing, and doing simple things such as recycling non-biodegradable garbage is a must , to do so.

    Woaaaahhh! Seeing the numbers made me frantic! I’d like to use my own green bag when I go out for grocery but the thing is, I can’t seem to do that because I do it spontaneously. If I happen to be in the mall and happens to remember there’s no more stocks at home, I just hit the cart. Thanks! This is very alarming. Thanks for sharing.

Hi there! I'm Nicquee and this is my little space in this world wide web. I'm a mom of two and is happily married. I started this blog as literally my online journal where I dump my emotions. Over the years, I realized that there is more to write about. Feel free to browse through and I hope you find a thing or two that is relatable to you. If that happens, give me a shout-out!
