Tama! ^^ The more na bumibili ka, the more waste na nagagawa. Kasi you stop using other items. Either na stuck lang siya sa closet tapos pag expire na hindi na magagamit or hindi na uso.
One things na nabasa ko ngayon is Upcycling. Yung iba kasi ang tingin nila sa recycling is plain reusing something for a lesser purpose. Upcycling aims to do more. You re-use something by giving it a higher purpose.
Tipong, magre-recycle - reuse ka nga ng box, paglalagyan mo lang naman ng nakatagong damit.
Upcycling, medyo may dress-up na kailangan para magkaroon ka ulit ng attachment dun sa bagay.
Sample lang.. Old shirts upcycled to scarves.. gandang project!

^gusto ko rin matutunan mas mabuti kung paano ko maaapply yung green living.
sa ngayon eto pa lang lang ginagawa ko kasi nakikitira pa kami sa mother in law ko:
1. we bring our own eco bags when buying anything. bihira lang humingi ng paper bag sa store para di makadagdag sa consumption ng paper at sa kalat. except kung matatapon yung item (food na may sabaw) . we always make it a point na may dala kaming eco bag or at least mga lumang paper bag or plastic bag kasi kapag nakalimutan, bibili or hihingi ng paper bag sa store (dagdag kalat).
2. pag may paper bag yung binili, we try to reuse the paper bags as gift bag
3. i signed up as a dealer of eco friendly toiletries and detergents from Human Heart Nature kasi hindi nagco cause ng harm sa waters natin : soap, shampoo, conditioner, laundry detergent, other beauty products.
4. i minimize the use of tissue, pwede naman cloth like face towels or lampin. may allergic rhinitis din ako pero ang gamit ko talaga especially sa bahay, towels or lampin. di naman viral ang allergic rhinitis.
5. iniipon yung mga pinaglabahan para pwede panlinis ng banyo
6. di ako madalas nagpapalit o bumibili ng tech gadgets, lalo na kung di naman kelangan sa work. my laptop is almost 6 years old. ang myphone ko, around 3 years na.
As of now, we are waiting for the release of the bank loan para makalipat na. Excited na. at siyempre dahil sarili ko nang bahay, mas marami akong pwede iapply na green living projects.
--sa baby ko, 5 months pregnant pa lang ako pero thinking of ways pano maging minimalist at eco friendly yung pagraise ko sa baby ko.
1. gamitin ko yung ilang used clothes and baby items na bigay ng cousin ko. planning to buy used cribs, feeding covers and other baby items also para di ako makadagdag sa kalat. siyempre kelangan din maensure na kahit luma, safe yung items para sa baby ko.
2. planning to use cloth diapers for my baby. kung kayang maging exclusive CDing, the better. working mom kasi ako.
---sa bahay naman, kahit wala kaming lot na mapagtataniman, my husband and I have talked about growing some herbs and veggies in pots sa balcony, garage and utility areas. we are also exploring the idea of making our DIY vertical garden using empty bottles.
