Green Idea Of the Day - Save 500ml of Water!

What is this posting doing in this blog? If you think about it, this blog does have a lot do with Nature and the environment. A lot of pictures are about Nature - Trees, Rivers, Beaches.... Its pretty important to conserve and protect nature and each one can do their part. Each one of us is a user of nature's resources and sometimes we are guilty of abusing and wasting nature's resources. We can/should play a role in conserving them. What can we do? I have a very simple idea:- its called Green idea of the day(some one's probably thought of it before - but thats not the point!). Every day, we can think of one simple way to save energy, water, or any other natural resource. And your blog will tell the rest of the world what your GREEN IDEA of the day is! Isn't it wonderful?

I'm going to start this off with a very simple idea- I hope that lots of people will participate in it! My Green Idea for today is save 1/2 litre(500 ml or 1/8th gallon) of water!
I see myself wasting water while washing a dish, or cleaning some soiled item or even filling up my bottle of water on my way to the gym! I can definitely save at least 500 ml of water a day! It may seem small but imagine how much water we could save if everyone you know saves 500 ml! Thats the power of unity.

The SINGLE most important part is implementation- You really need to do your 'Green Idea of the Day'. It could be the same thing every day or it could be a different thing every day. Whatever it is, please do it everyday(i'm very eager to know your green idea of the day is - please reply to this post and tell me!)
I'm sure there would be tons of wonderful websites on the internet with ideas on how to conserve and what you can do in your daily life to help - but we don't spend time reading them or visiting them. Blogging is a powerful medium! you CAN DO THIS EVERYDAY and tell all your friends about it.

Now here's what I think you could do to get this project rolling!
a)Start doing your 'Green Idea of the Day' today. Feel free to borrow ideas of others(acknowledge them for their idea!)as this is a common cause!.
b)An even better thing would be to come up with your VERY OWN 'Green idea of the day' and posting it on your blog. Again, I'm very very eager to know what your 'Green idea of the day' is. Please let me know and I will definitely link to it.
c)Tell all your friends about it!

I hope to hear soon from you about your green idea!
