Have you ever heard and tried vegan food?

Vegan food is a type of vegetarian diet that excludes meats, eggs, dairy products and all other animal-derived ingredients or we can also say that they do not eat foods that are processed using animal products.

Going vegan is the most incredible way to reduce food waste. By eating organic food rather than eating meat you can reduce waste production from meat processing. Other than that, go vegan also can reduce carbon footprint. Animal farming requires massive amount of land, water, food and energy, therefore making it a leading contributor to global greenhouse emission. For example, it takes 2400 gallons of water just to produce 1lb of meat compared to 25 gallons of water to produce 1lb of wheat.

Therefore, the most direct ways you can change is by changing the food on your plate.

If you were to look at your trash, you'd probably see that food packaging makes up a large proportion of what you throw out. Packaging waste takes up an enormous amount of space in our kitchen bins and ultimately, in landfills.

Buying in bulk is a great way to use less plastic and reduce packaging waste which reduces what we accumulate and throw away in the kitchen.

In addition, buying in bulk whether it be food, clothing or toiletries s often cheaper than items purchased in smaller quantities. So, the eco-friendly packaging choice is often also the low-cost choice.

If we use 4 plastic water bottles, only 1 out of 6 are recycled. Within 3 days, we have contributed 10 water bottles to the landfill. It takes 500 years for plastics including plastic water bottles to decay which means that plastics are still out there somewhere.

Let’s start using reusable water bottles from now on! Choose the one with 100% BPA free as it can reduce some health concerns, such as a higher risk of certain cancers, reduced fertility, diabetes, and birth defects by eliminating the chemical from its material. BPA-free water bottles can be used without the risk of BPA consumption. It’s now or never!

Ever heard of Pomodoro Method?

Pomodoro Method is a technique where we spend 20-25 minutes to work on a task (eg. studying) and take a break for 5-10 minutes. This method helps us to stay focus and more determined to finish up our work on time. Simply to be put, there will be no procrastination!

What does it have to do with saving energy?

If we’re able to finish our work on time, especially when we need to use electrical devices such as a laptop, we could conserve electricity as well as practicing energy-saving as much as we could. It’s time to get rid of our habits by leaving our laptops on while we’re doing something else; something that’s unrelated to the task that we’re currently working on. If we need a longer break, turn off the laptops and take our time before continuing where we left off.

To summarize, here are our tips to stay focus, productive & time-saving:
✔️ List out all the tasks that needed to be completed. Make a checklist!📋
✔️ Set a timer and apply the Pomodoro Method. ⏱
✔️ Turn off all electrical devices such as laptop, lamp, charger once you’re done with the tasks.🔌

According to The Malaysian Plastics Manufacturers Association (MPMA), the average Malaysian uses 300 plastic bags per year. With a population of 30 million, the usage of plastic bags can result in 9 billion plastic bags each year! We can say that a lot of plastic bag pollution is generated annually.

Changes needed to be made! Using reusable shopping bags will likely reduce plastic bag pollution and improve our environment for the better even by changing this habit of us. As the saying goes, baby steps!

As we know, tissue paper is the most useful thing in our life in wiping something or anything. From facial tissue to toilet paper, from wiping of our sweat to cleaning the dinner table, we often find this thing useful for many purposes.

Indeed, tissue paper is pretty useful for our daily lives, however it possibly is not the most beneficial thing to nature. So, we have to minimize tissue paper consumption by using washcloths instead for cleaning. Washcloths can be used as many times as possible, compared to single-use tissue. Just imagine how many trees and water we can save by using washcloths.

Though cloth diapers and wipes do take some effort and add more laundry to our queue, they have many benefits in our daily lives such as more cost-efficient, better for sensitive skin, helping the environment, versatile, and more.

As we know, waste water is the water which disposed from homes, businesses, and industries. It comes from sinks, showers, toilets, dishwashers, washing machines, and more. Therefore, it includes substance likes soaps, oils, human waste, food scraps, and chemicals.

And for your information, the households in developed countries use more water than those in developing countries. This is because waste water produced due to human activities in households is called domestic waste water. Therefore, a simple way to reduce waste water is the excess iced milo, juice orange, purple yam juice and so on can be used as ice cream.

To make ice cream from any kind of juice, it is recommended to use a reusable popsicle frozen ice cream moulds because it can minimize waste of plastic indirectly.

Tips #1 Study Smart: Reuse Before You Decide to Throw Away!

We could always minimize the paper usage in our working environment and there is always an option before we are fully capable to go “paperless”. Less cost is needed and applicable to everyone by reusing the paper once we are done with it as to jot down some notes and utilize the leftover space of the paper. We could also find any paper-like material such as the back of the calendar paper to create our own personal notebook.

By saving a ton of paper, we can save 17 trees, 26000 liters of water, 4000 kilowatt of power supply and 240 liters of fuel Paper also account for 25% of landfill waste and 33% of municipal waste.

Hence, for a better and safe environment, we could practice our waste management more effectively and reduce the contribution of the carbon footprint that will bring harm to the environment.

To enhance motivation for us to adopt sustainable living style, we choose minimize waste and save energy as our goals by practising sustainable living as our routine and will post picture, boomerang and video to motivate ourselves.

In every year, millions of tons of waste are generated by human from the households and building construction such as plastic and many more thing that take a long time to dispose. To solve this problem, we decided to set our goal as minimize the amount of waste by reuse BPA-free bottle and reusable shopping bag. Waste minimization is defined as ‘systematically reducing waste at source’. It means improving the quality of waste generated to facilitate recycling and reduce hazard.

However, without paying more attention, we use a lot of energy each day. We decided to set our goal as energy saving to solve this problem. By doing simple things like using natural light in daytime in the house and iron large batches of clothes are the ways to save energy. Energy saving also known as energy conservation is the effort made to reduce the consumption of energy by using less of an energy service. Less consumption benefits the environment and protects wildlife.

Reusing containers is one of the most effective and inexpensive ways to reduce the environment impact of packaging as it also reduces the demand for disposable plastic and polystyrenes. Some containers can be made durable enough to be refilled and reused about 25 times before becoming damaged for reuse. Accordingly, lowering demand for single-use containers reduces waste and energy consumption.

Goal-setting is one of the most important method of environmental management, where we as responsible people for the nature of the environment should ordained strategy to one step ahead from other people by implementing an active environmental management system and continuously improve our environmental standard. The reason why we should being one step ahead from other people is because good thing that we do can dedicated other people to do the same.

Most of the powers we consume are not from renewable energy sources. However, the world would be better served by renewable energy sources and can avoid wastage. So, little acts like unplugging unused electronics and also (apply Pomodoro Method) working diligently to save energy would make a big difference in the long run.

Minimize waste is another solution to save environment. Reusable containers and steel straw are the example of product that can reduce the demand of the product as it can be reuse for about 25 times before become damaged. Thus, every product has the capacity to be repurposed if we allow ourselves to see it with an open eye.

By doing small changes, we can made our daily lifestyle becoming more appreciate the nature of earth.

Did you know air-drying clothes can reduce the average household’s carbon footprint by over 1 thousand kilogram a year? Yup! The truth has been revealed!

Many people tend to dry out their clothes with a drying machine as they’d figured it’s way faster than having yourself hang out the clothes outside and not having to depend on the weather most of the time.

But why do we have to live with such a high maintenance life when we can lower our electricity bills and take this opportunity to save more energy and resources? Think about the future. By consuming less power, we at least could reduce the number of toxic fumes released by power plants and conserve the earth’s natural resources.

Do consider your laundry routine and how it affects the environment. By reducing our energy intake, we’ll contribute to a healthier and happier world!

Did you know that all of the energy we use comes from the sun?⚡➡️☀️

We probably know that this is true for solar panels, but the sun is also the ultimate source of energy from wind, water and fossil fuels.

At this rate, if we continue to use non-renewable resources, we may run out of oil and gas in the next 50 years and coal in the next 115 years. It will also pollute our planet and contribute to climate change.The energy of the sun, on the other hand, will not "run out" for the next five billion years.

So, by using solar energy, which is the cleanest and most abundant source of renewable energy available. Solar technologies can use this energy for a variety of uses, including electricity generation, lighting and heating water for domestic, commercial or industrial use.

Ceiling fans use low-watt motors that consume little electricity. This is particularly true of the Direct-Current (DC) engine, which uses less than a third of the energy consumed by the AC engine. Not only does this save energy and money on electricity bills, it also means quieter fan usage and more speed options. While the air conditioner uses a lot more electricity, the air conditioning bill will be higher than the fan bill.

It's going to be better to use a fan than an air conditioner. Let's save our world energy! Finally, I would like to say that smart people do not waste electricity.✨💯

Usually, the rice will be washed 2-3 times with clean water first, and then the rice water is thrown away without thinking about wastage of water has occurred unnoticed. However, many still do not know that rice water has benefits for plants and for the beauty of the skin and hair. As we know, the rice water is the remaining water left behind after rinsing, boiling, or cooking rice. But the rice water is starchy water, which has proved to be very nutritious.

Therefore, the rice water used as a pesticide eliminates the harmful insects or pests that threaten plants and works as a fertilizer, making the plants grow stronger and healthier. Rice water contains about 7 proteins, 30 fibres, and 15 amino acids. The percentages of calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, and potassium, and other vitamins are present in sufficient amounts to keep the plants green and keep them safe from pests.

Thus, the rice water has been proved to be beneficial not only nourishes skin and hair but also to keep trees and plants green.

It is undeniable fact that our modern lifestyle demands the utilization of energy for various purposes from domestic use to industrial benefits. The data from 2018 suggested that global demand has been increasing by 2.3% as we employ an incredible amount of energy every single day. Hence, we decided to take measures by switching our electrical devices to 5-star energy appliances that are certified by the Energy Commission of Malaysia to control the usage of electricity and reduce carbon emission from the power plant. We also train ourselves to favor the fan over switching on the air-conditioner despite the hot weather we are experiencing in Malaysia.

Waste-reducing also plays a fundamental part to conserve the environment. Reducing our waste means that there will be a much lesser landfill contribution that is already overwhelmed with a massive amount of trash. Therefore, it is significant to manage our waste efficiently by reusing a potential container and be creative to invest them into a useful product. To improve the efficacy of waste management, we also make use of rice water to water the plant instead of throwing them away. This method is beneficial for both waste management and environmental health.

Did you know that food waste contributes to climate change? WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme) states that food waste is responsible for 7% of all global greenhouse gass emissions which is 3.3 billion tones of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per year. Keep in mind that 1 tonne equals to 1000 kg. Now imagine how massive that amount is!

However, preventing 1 tonne of food waste from ending up in a landfill can save the emission of approximately 5 tonnes of CO2e. Therefore, it is advisable to:
✅ Do not overbuy food or beverages
✅ Try to finish up our food
✅ Even when eating out, ask for smaller portion to keep from overeating or request for take-away to take the leftovers home
✅ Store the food in a proper way to avoid food spoilage, if it’s safe to do so! (eg: refrigerator, freezer)

Even by considering our eating habits, we could preserve the environment for a better future. Our effort matters!

Then, take a step to go vegan as one of the zero waste approaches, and buy things in bulk to reduce packaging wastes. This measure will save our money on top of reducing packaging waste indirectly.

Paulo Coelho once said, “The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.”

Did you know that using only one source of light is a part of conserving energy?

During daytime, we opt for natural light. However, at nighttime, we have no other choice other than to use available artificial light in our home. At this hour, try to minimize the light usage and only use it when necessary.

Conserving energy is important to preserve nature as we take such measures to reduce the number of toxic fumes such as greenhouse gases from the power plant that generates electricity. It is our responsibility to take care of the environment’s health before the consequences of our actions take over.

If you’re a hawk about refrigerator energy efficiency, you probably already do things like  avoid browsing for snacks with the door open. But  one tactic can be a bit of a tightrope walk is  how long should you wait before putting hot leftovers into the fridge?

Your refrigerator is the fourth largest consumer of energy in most homes. By avoid putting warm foods directly into your refrigerator. Let them cool first and then put them in. But don’t let them sit out at room temperature for more than two hours.

If it wasn’t for energy efficiency concerns, there would really be nothing wrong with putting hot foods directly into most modern refrigerators.
But it will cause a significant spike in the temperature inside the fridge, placing a large burden on your refrigerator’s compressor as it works to bring the temperature back down.

Wasted food is the second-largest component of municipal solid waste globally. In 2010, over 34 million tons of food waste was produced, accounting for almost 14 percent of the total waste stream. Only a fraction of this waste was recovered through composting programs, leaving 33 million tons to go into landfills where the decomposing food produces methane, a greenhouse gas more than 20 times as damaging as carbon dioxide.

Hence, a simple way of strategies individuals and families can adopt to help reduce food waste such as the excess rice overnight can be used as fried rice for breakfast the next day.

Recycle and reuse food jars or containers for storage and refills is one of the way to reduce waste.

I have an obsession with keeping jars & containers. Every time we buy something in a jar or else container from the shops, I will wash it out, sterilize it & re-use it by refill it, for something new. I love to use them mainly for storing foods in the cupboards, as well as in fridge. Besides that, it also can be used to keep tools, all the small things in the garage and in the house.

Once you’ve made the decision to cut down on packaging that can’t be reuse, you start casting your eyes around at other packaging, that can be refill & re-use for more than 20 times.

The options are honestly endless.

The use and cost of energy affect each of us every day of our lives. Many issues arise from the use of energy such as greenhouse gas emissions, acid rain, climate change and many, more especially from politically unstable regions of the world.

While the waste that humans created has been detrimental to our environment for quite some time now. The amount of trash is massive and in some regions, it cannot be dealt with sustainably.
On the 10th week of our journey in achieving our goals, a few changes were made to save the earth by reducing waste and save energy.

For energy saving, we only use one source of light because it helps to conserve energy. Then, it is a big reminder to never put a hot meal in a fridge because it takes a lot of energy if we did not do so. While recycle and reuse food jars or container for storage and refill are very helpful to reduce waste. Other than that we also use the leftover food to make a new menu for the next day to reduce food waste.

People say, less is more🤭 but in this context, large is better than small✨👍🏻

Buy large economy-sized products are really helpful to minimize waste instead of buy individually wrapped items. This is because the item can be used over a long period of time. Therefore, it is able to reduce waste from the packaging. By practicing this method, not only can reduce waste, in fact, can even save money because there is no need to buy in a large quantity.

Laundry soap🧼, shampoo🛀🏻, dishwashing detergent🧴, and other non-perishable items are great examples

First of all, gas is inexpensive and so it becomes less expensive to operate a gas stove. This means you’ll get to save money with a gas stove in the long run. By comparison, electric stove uses a round 3 times as much energy to produce and deliver electricity to heat up the stove. From that it will cause increased cost of electricity and the bills get bigger and bigger.

Besides that, gas stove allows you to cook food faster. They heat both the bottom and the sides of the pan so it gets hotter faster and the heat is distributed in a way that lets food cook faster than when you use an electric stove. Meanwhile, for electric stove are slower to cook food when you turned down so it will take longer for you to cook.

So, for those who love cooking, choose gas stove to save energy and your money.

During the pandemic of Covid-19, we had to work from home which mean it may increase our home energy bills. Many computers available today come with a sleep mode or power management that will save the energy efficiency of computers.

However, many of us still use screen saver instead of sleep or hibernate mode. Screen savers are not energy savers, use more energy and the power-down feature may not work if we have a screen saver activated. In fact, modern LCD color monitors do not need screen savers at all.

So, let's reduce power usage as much as 75% by put our's computer into a power saving mode when we won’t be using it for an extended period of time and enable power management features during shorter periods of inactivity.

Human activities have induced global environmental changes including climate change, ozone depletion, the imbalance of biodiversity and it is now has become an acknowledged reality. Practicing a more sustainable lifestyle such as minimizing waste production and energy-saving could aid environmental health. By reducing energy consumption, there will be fewer carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. Hence, we chose to be mindful of electricity consumption by switching the laptop settings to a hibernating or sleep mode if we do not wish to turn off immediately and opt for a gas stove rather than an electric stove which takes up 3 times greater electricity consumption.

To minimize waste, we decided to buy large economy-sized products instead of buy individually wrapped items to reduce the packaging waste. Such measures can slow down the growth of landfills as well as greatly reducing water and air pollution.  To attain this goal, we also utilized excess ices to make a home-made ice-cream to reduce domestic wastewater as one of the ways to conserve the source of water.

Do LEDs save energy?

LEDs use much less energy than incandescent bulbs which also known as regular lightbulbs because diode light is much more efficient, power-wise, than filament light.

LED bulbs use more than 75% less energy than incandescent lighting. At low power levels, the difference is even larger. Bright LED flood lamps use only 11 to 12 watts while creating a light output comparable to a 50 watt incandescent bulb.

Another advantage of LEDs is the “hassle factor”. LEDs last a lot longer than a regular lightbulb. In addition, LEDs can also help save money, by cutting down on electricity usage charges.

Did you know that the biggest slices of a typical household’s energy budget are heating and cooling (about 40%) and water heating and lighting (each about 10%)?

Therefore, a simple method that can be practiced by individuals to save energy with a few no-sweat moves, can reduce your annual costs by $250 to $300.

Practically, room sharing is a more effective way to save up energy at home. This is because by only needing to have lights, a humidifier, or air conditioner in one room, it uses less electricity. So, consuming less energy everywhere around your house will cut the utility bills almost in half and save you a lot of money.

Kitchen waste is defined as leftover organic matter from restaurants, hotels and households. Tons of kitchen wastes are produced daily in highly populated areas. Kitchen wastes entering the mixed-municipal waste system are difficult to process by standard means, such as incineration, due to the high moisture content.

Furthermore, organic matter from kitchen waste can be transformed into useful fertilizer and biofuel. New disposal methods that are both environmentally and economically efficient are being developed which rely on various forms of microbial decomposition.

In this video I will show a simple step to do an organic compost fertilizer by using kitchen waste.⬇️⬇️⬇️

Our available water supply is finite, which means that the amount of our water supply is not endless. If water conservation practices are neglected, we might face water shortages in the future which is concerning and troubling to all of the living creatures on earth.

By harvesting rainwater, we could reduce our reliance on groundwater despite the demands for water supply due to our population growth that just kept increasing day by day. Harvesting rainwater could also minimize wastewater as we are trained to utilize them based on the amount of rainwater that we collected. Rainwater can be used for cleaning, watering the plants, bathing and many more as long as we do not use them for drinking water purposes.

Water conservation requires forethought and effort. Even by making little a change to our lifestyle like this, it’s still helping us to preserve the environment. Our future is up to us!

Today, we can see how our planet is deteriorating day by day. Furthermore, humans are unaware of where they are and what is happening in our world. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, we need to survive and be more productive to save our world while also taking care of our health. As a result, our team decided to reduce waste by making our compost fertilizer out of organic waste from our kitchen. As we all know, we generate a large amount of kitchen waste daily. Then we decided to use nature to save the world by harvesting rainwater. There are numerous advantages to reducing our reliance on groundwater.

Also, to satisfy our energy-saving targets, the following step has been taken. Some of us are unaware that we are already conserving energy. So, we're going to show you how to save energy by sharing a room and how to use LEDs instead of regular light bulbs. This is a simple step that we can take to save almost half of our energy as well as a lot of money.

Sustainability-shaming our beauty routine appears to be a current craze. Don't get us wrong! We need to change our ways, but it's a minefield to avoid doing more harm than good. However, one simple and sure way to help reduce waste is to eliminate the use of single-use cotton from our daily routines.

According to WWF, the amount of water required to produce one kilogram of cotton, which is equivalent to one of our basic white T-Shirts, is the same amount of water that one person would consume over three years. So, consider how much water we waste on a single-use cotton pad.Less cotton pads thrown away equals fewer cotton pads ending up in a landfill.

Despite the fact that they are made of cotton, ‘using them as part of your daily routine can reduce waste and environmental impacts because they can be reused frequently'.

The entire population is aware of the fact that paper comes from trees. According to a study, a single person uses up to 10 000 paper sheets in one year. Now, imagine the quantity of paper utilized by every person in this world altogether.

Reducing paper consumption contributes to minimizing the paper waste which eventually goes to the landfill, adding more burden to the environment than it already was. Paper accounts for 25% of waste in the landfill and 33% of municipal waste and adversely affects environmental health including soil degradation, global warming, pollution, etc.

As a student, paper is essential to print out our lecture notes, modules, assignments, etc. Regardless, it’s time to shift our reliance on these papers to a pro-environment work practice while still maintaining our productivity. Here’s a tutorial on how to start working digitally by using One Note Microsoft application set-ups!

During this sunny day, “extra fan 🤭” is needed to keep our body cool. It’s very important to keep our self-cool because there are some risks of getting extremely hot such as dehydration and overheating. Keeping ourselves cool may also help keep our mood calm because heat usually exacerbates feelings of frustration, stress and tension, especially as a student, we really need to control all of this feeling because it can impact our studies.

So, there is a way to keep our body cool, but still being able to save electricity, which is by using portable rechargeable fan instead of using standard fan. Rechargeable fan can save the energy because they are battery-run. They are designed in a way that they will work even after a power cut without the availability of electricity. After a power cut, it can go on its battery capacity for quite a while. Meanwhile, stand fan needs to run the electricity to make it function.

In the warmer months when our home begins to heat up, it’s natural to switch on the A/C and allow it to cool back down. The main problem that A/C is running for long periods to achieve a reasonable temperature. This requires a lot of energy and along with the cost it incurs, may not be the most efficient way to cool off our home. Thus, opening up windows can allow cool gusts of wind to naturally reduce the temperature in our home and is especially effective at night.

This week-12 is the last week for us to post our daily activities in padlet. However, we have not forgotten our goals which are to save energy and reduce waste. Other than that, we’re still willing to keep on practicing sustainable living.

To save energy consumption, we chose to use a portable fan or also known as a rechargeable fan rather than a regular stand fan. They are battery-run that will work even without the availability of electricity. Besides that, we also used fresh air to cool the house temperature. In this way, we can save energy rather than opting for an air-cond and gain fresh air.

Next is to reduce waste, we introduced to you not to use paper. This method is very easy to do because all we need is an application also known as One Note Microsoft to write everything digitally. Minimizing waste can also be practiced by reducing the use of cotton in daily life but using reusable cotton round as the applicator instead. Such measures can give a significant impact on reducing wastes that eventually end up in landfills and contribute to pollution.
