09/30/12 Low-Carbon Diet [LCD] Journal Entry #17: "Intramurals"

          We held our annual Intramurals/Intrams this last school week. Many of us are eager to show their skills and partake in the succeeding events. Even though we did not had any or some of our classes are interrupted due to the said events, I still continued to learn to discipline myself with how serious and how concern am I when the topic's on about the cleanliness of Mother Nature.
          Many of our school players practiced hard during school hours, which also means that garbages are rampant and are literally seen lying everywhere, anywhere. So, instead of doing nothing and sit all day 'round, I helped picking garbages and then disposing them properly in the trash bin. I also helped clean my environment by sweeping the floor and [maintenance of Mother Nature] -watering the plants. At home,  I refrained from using fans/aircons for the air is cool enough  and the wind was blowing hard. I also use a cup when brushing my teeth to avoid unnecessary water usage.
        I surely hope that I helped clean Mother Nature this last week.

09/22/12 Low-Carbon Diet Journal Entry #16: "A normal yet fun week"

            This last school week, we had many activities done and school works to be accomplished, even though many of our teachers were not around due to their contests. We crafted many projects; thus, trash/garbages are to be found everywhere. And I, as a proud steward of Mother Nature, did not forget to practice eco-friendly acts such as picking up garbages and disposing them properly; segregating trash if proper trash bins are observed, and by recycling trash that can be reused.
             I sure hope I helped maintain the cleanliness of Mother Nature as efficient as I can this past week.

09/15/12 Low-Carbon Diet [LCD] Journal Entry #15 " A tiresome yet eco-friendly week"

       This last school week, many of my classmates were busy preparing for their respective contests. Some prepared for the English Olympics with their "Jazz Chants" while some are preparing for the incoming intramural. Meanwhile, back in our classroom, many of our class teachers were not around  preparing for the intrams and other contests. While they're not around, I still did not forgot to practice nature-friendly activities such as not littering trash anywhere, watering the plants and cleaning our surroundings. At home, whenever I brush my teeth, I use a cup when rinsing to avoid unnecessary water spillage. I also avoided the use of electric fans for the air itself is cool enough these past few days for it is rainy.
        I sure hope I helped contribute to the cleanliness of Mother Nature even by my small yet efficient and practical ways.

09/09/12 Low Carbon Diet [LCD] Journal Entry # 14: "A Busy Yet Nature Loving Week:

                   This last school week, many of our class teachers are away due to important matters like attending scholastic contests and interscholastic ones. While they're gone, I practiced eco-friendly acts like watering the plants, segregating wastes if proper trash bins are observed, cleaning the surroundings and recycling plastic bottles by putting them in the sack wherein the III-A students would pick them up regularly.
                    I also helped conserve electrical energy by turning off lights and fans when not in use and by turning off the computer after researching/searching for school works.
                    I sure hope I helped contribute to the maintenance in terms of cleanliness of Mother Nature.
