There is only these many things that money can buy.... but there ain't another EARTH for sale.

Wah.... so you are an environmentalist at heart?! I used to be very concerned but I \"see very open\" now and just go with the flow.


IMHO, most (if not all) Singaporeans are not serious about conservation and the earth hour is just simply hot air....

Mmmm.... not sure you have access to how many households or have been invited to any to come to your conclusion.... I am quite impressed with many people now taking baby steps. Like smoking, 30yrs ago it was perceived as a social norm, but this has changed since... Ah pek, we need to move on!

When you are so cozy in your couch, even just a simple effort to pull your butts up to walk to your kitchen to switch off the kitchen lights that your maid doesn't need but forgot to switch off is profound. Do your part, a little at a time, it will soon become a way of life. Of course, it's not that you need to save money or anything like that, don't get me wrong hor

Edit to add:- finally I managed to read the tiny print in your earlier post to me (you know new aunties are like that lah, refuse to wear glasses :evil: )
Take your time.... hope you won't be like another member that went \"if you don't feel comfortable to post your <address> here, you can PM me\", that was a reaaaaally cute one.... :rotflmao:

:offtopic: I just realized that maybe setting up a EQ Academic will be a profitable business, what's your take? You are certainly more savvy than me when comes to doing business.

Yes vinegar, gas increase from the cooking and water from the washing preps and washing up after. Cannot forget to include showers after cooking and cleaning up the kitchen too. Once during the hols we spent more time outside the house with the children (hardly cooked) and around almost two weeks thereabouts. Our water and gas consumption visibly plummeted. The graph looked starkly different in comparison to the previous months'.

we can save electricity by reducing the use of aircon,etc....But would be difficult to save water/gas,coz still nid to coo,wash up..etc...no way to save,right?

Reduce use of aircon?

We don't have aircon.

We oredi save a lot by eating in almost daily.
Especially for bigger family like mine.

for those ppl who cook daily,do u find ur water n gas consumption r above average?We've below average electricity consumption,but extremely high consumption in water n gas,coz i cook daily.

In a nation where more and more people eat out or pack home instead of cook, those who cook will definitely find their gas and water consumption above nation average.

And in a nation where aircon is like a defecto in most houses those who do not will find their electric bill way below national average.

Like what DD's principal said when the school decided not to let parents know the class and level average, compare with yourself only not with others.
Any change or improvement should ideally be intrinsic. :razz:

:rotflmao: So dont compare our pub bills!

Some feedbacked that salesman say that LED is not as bright as FL.. which seems to contradict many of the information that can be found on the internet.


I suspect, most likely the salesman meant, the highest rated LED is far from the highest rated FL. For e.g. the biggest LED bulb maybe 30W, but the biggest FL maybe 60W. It doesn't meant at the same wattage the LED is not as bright as FL.

Ya thanks. Need to put a fl n led side by side to compare their brightness. Can't take the words of the salesman.

err..... of coz lah..

but in exchange for higher pub bill for gas and water for those who cook at home, these lucky people get to enjoy home cooked meals.

even a simple soup is nutritious...no MSG but real home goodness.

Think it would not be easy. I think some tones of white will appear more glaring and give the perception that it is brighter.
