    We need to sustain our practice of protecting and conserving nature.
    On tree planting for instance, there should be a regular checking if the tree planted survived.

    Just finished the laundry today. Once per week of washing clothes, if not possible, the most is twice to conserve water.

    Buying at locally produces stores at your neighborhood instead of supermarkets makes you feel safer knowing they are organic.
    Knowing your organic list as well helps you reduce food waste.

    Just got vegetables in our backyard (tomatoes, kangkong and eggplants) cooked with mung beans. Just tossed everything, and any prep waste was grinded and used as fertilizer.
