Actually, we have on going project now, we are making Iron Man suit from cardboards. It is not finished yet, but we think it's going to be awesome. Using old stuff or used stuff and then reuse or recycle it, it's so fun and also can reduce the emissions. As long as we make sure that the old or used stuff is clean before we use it for other purposes. My mom uses clean old glass jars from jams and peanut butter as molds for pudding and chocolate cake.
Our other effort is we also use reusable bags for shopping, or we buy stuff from our neighbor's stall. Out nearest stall is own by a women called Bu Aan. Just walk around 5 minutes, I can buy fruits, veggies, fish, fresh shrimps, eggs, snacks and seasonings.
At home, my little brother and I are used to turning off the lights and air conditioning every morning. Sleep with a night light. Always turn off the lights and water after using the bathroom. By saving electricity, we also reduce emissions because the production of electricity is fueled by coal.
Another small steps we do is keeping plants even though my house is small and the yard is only 3 x 1 meters. We arrange plants on the garage wall, on the fence, and on our front wall. I have orchids, staghorn ferns, aglaonema, ferns, taro, etc. In addition to make my house shady, plants help absorb CO2.
Maybe what we are doing has not had a big impact, but hopefully in the future there will be more that we can do to help reduce emissions. Because the zero-emissions program is very important. It is also very helpful for our planet. Did you know because of global warming, the ice melts, and it releases a lot of CO2.
It is such a dangerous thing. Because there are more and more CO2, we are getting less and less oxygen in the air, which makes us and all the living things hard to breathe. With this zero-emissions program, we could cut the global emissions, and, make less releases of CO2.
