Say No to Plastic Straws

Do at Home

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

    It is hard to practise work-life balance when you are working on a project.  Must listen to your body to ensure good health and mind.

    Health Exercise Daily
    How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

    To spend more time with nature, I try to do mine morning(or evening) walks in the parks. Be aware of the surrounding and appreciate nature's giving and glory.

    Food Weekly Meal Planning
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four in the US spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

    During the start of the COvid-19 period, I was over-buying and felt the pinch. Spoke to some colleagues and I started on a weekly menu. It has been ~ 5mths and I find this method useful as I dont throw away food nor keep them too long. The money I save would be spend on buying a nice meal or go for a massage or treat myself to a cheesecake !
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Water Say No to Plastic Straws
    What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

    I use veg bags and plastic bags. Wash and recycle them as garbage bags or reuse them a few times (supermarket or wet market purchase).
