What we can do to help

Watching news lately is a very disturbing matter. Wars, natural disaster, politics, crime and economy: All these only brings bad news.
Watching how the China people still searching for their love one underneath all the ruins are heart wrenching.
Imagine yourself in their shoes.
Imagine your love one is trapped somewhere out there.
Imagine yourself being trapped down there.
Imagine no food & no water for 3 or 4 days, with limited air.

We are very lucky to be here. still able to go to work, like nothing happen. Drive nice car, dine in fancy restaurant, has the luxury to choose wht you wish to eat. has the luxury to choose what BRAND of mineral water you want, what flavor of soft drink you like, even has the luxury to loose weight and goes on diet.

What are you willing to do to help to make this world a slightly better place?
- Pray. Pray for the lost souls. pray for those that have lost their love one. pray for those that are trapped underneath.
- Don't waste food. if you can't finish it, share. Sharing is caring.
- Donate to proper channel to ensure that the money goes to the right person.
- Switch off things that you don't need to use. If you are in your room, switch off the light in your hall, your dining room, kitchen, switch off your fan, air-con, TV if you are not going to watch it.
- Use timer for Air-con. yes, i know the weather in Malaysia is too freaking hot. If you really need to use air-con, use timer, so that you just use it for a limited time only rather than switching it on for the whole night or whole day.
- Enjoy the morning breeze. If the traffic is not too heavy, wind down the window and enjoy some outside air.
- recycle. the most basic thing. if the paper only have 1 side of printing, use the other page for either another printing or use it to write down messages, rather than taking a fresh paper to do so.
- Water. In the end, it's still water. doesn't matter if the brand is X, Y or Z. ingredient is still the same: water, H2O, air.

what else you can think of? These are the things i've been practicing. Anything that you guys practice that I don't know? please share.
