Earth Hour 2009: 60 minutes without electricity.




Some holes were made using a puncher to illuminate the figurine puppet. I attached a drinking straw to hold the puppet.
My daughter love the whole experience of playing shadow puppet behind a candle light. For me, it reminds me of my childhood years. Using creativity and our imagination for such times like this is the most memorable moment of our lives. But most of all, it reminds us to appreciate what we take for granted for: electricity and energy.
How was your Earth Hour? Do share your thoughts.

Earth Hour 2009: Countdown.




With the Earth Hour just hours away, I planned the day clearing out the recycle materials. I got an idea for tonight. If you have the materials that I have, I think you still have time to do this instant recycled craft.
First, get some empty dishwash liquid bottles. Tear out the labels.
Cut the top quarter of the bottle diogonally, like you see in this pics.
Place a candle stick in the center of the bottle. Remember to put melted wax on the base. Before that I inserted a small tomato puree can to stabilize the base.
Voila! Instant candle holder. Have a dozen of them placed on the table top and against the wall and you'll have a very chic candle lit room for a special occasion for Earth Hour.
Happy Earth Hour, everyone!

2009 GREENER RESOLUTION
Hello to all my readers. Hope it's not too late to wish a very Happy New Year 2009, and Gong Xi Fa Cai to the year of the Ox. I've been quite occupied lately, ending the year by spring cleaning and planning for the new year, and not to forget incorporating recycling and green living in my life. I've got to tell ya, it's not that easy activating the recycle campaign to all my family members. I have a mother in law that still burns her garbage in the backyard. And men in my life that still litter cigarrette butts. As for me, I still have the habit of bringing home the red plastic bags. But rest assured that this year of 2009 marks a better resolution for a healthier, greener life, or at least a more active recycling habit. We'll just have to see, won't we?
Be sure to keep reading my postings, and give feedback ya! I also want to know how you guys are recycling too.
Peace to the World, especially in Gaza,
Ophie
