Daily Green Actions: 17-30 Dec 2007

I'm Back!

Apologies for my lack of posting while I was away. In fact, I have faithfully, as much as possible, continued with my Daily Green Actions on Twitter. I've simply not had time to compile them every day on the blog. Unfortunately I was not able to do lights out while living in others' home.

Nonetheless I have put all my Daily Green Actions from the last 26 days into one post. More after the break in the full post.

It is becoming harder and harder to document any green actions. I put my reusable shopping bag to use yest and walked outdoors at lights out 01:24 AM December 30, 2007

interesting that disneyland has more stalls selling fruits and have recycling bins with every wastebin. still the amt of litter is amazing 05:58 AM December 27, 2007

spent the whole day yesterday in disneyland. is it not permissible to enjoy the xmas lights even though i think its wasting energy? 05:52 AM December 27, 2007

im beginning to think its impossible to have any green actions here in SD, living in others' home on holiday 05:51 AM December 27, 2007

My friend working as a LA County Planner reminded me of plans to dim the skies of LA for the wildlife. If only Urban Singapore would do that 02:02 AM December 25, 2007

lightsout in the full moon here would be much better as the moon lights up the sky! Somehow I think N Am is better, not as lighted as S'pore 02:01 AM December 25, 2007

Experiencing full moon in the temperate latitudes never cease to amaze and awe. The moon is so big and bright. Moon in the equator is tiny! 01:59 AM December 25, 2007

yesterday went to the chula vista nature center which is a marshland area of the tijuana estuary. animals in tanks were not v nice though 01:56 AM December 25, 2007

merry christmas! sad to say I've not really been able to engage in "green actions" other than the usual rejection of plastic bags 12:51 AM December 25, 2007

despite the freezing cold, i still turn off the shower while soaping my hair even though it would be warmer for me to stand in the hot water 03:14 AM December 23, 2007

Went to the Griffith Observatory and coincided our visit with the Winter Solstice Celebrations. Saw the sunset on the hills. Happy Winter! 04:38 PM December 22, 2007

Being in downtown LA gives me mixed feelings. On the one hand it's the only non-sprawl but it makes the sprawl so obvious by standing out 04:36 PM December 22, 2007

was in Los Angeles today. Spent lights out at dinner, playing with puppies and taking the Greyhound back to San Diego 04:35 PM December 22, 2007

when living in other people's home, its harder to implement lifestyle choices against the host's wishes but at least recycling is convenient 09:32 AM December 21, 2007

happily used my shopping bag instead of plastic bags while shopping for groceries but mama drove from shop to shop around a strip mall argh! 09:30 AM December 21, 2007 from web

went to a taco shop today and they only serve in styrofoam boxes and cups and it almost gave me a cardiac arrest. such misery 04:49 PM December 20, 2007

lights out has been permanently put on hold while on holiday. It gets dark here at 5pm! Yesterday spent lights out at dinner. Today? dinner 04:38 PM December 20, 2007

its very difficult to be green in another country, on holiday, dealing with another set of culture, practices and excuses. painful :( 04:37 PM December 20, 2007

As the plane approached Los Angeles yesterday, I felt depressed as I looked at the lights and traffic. Not a place I want to live in. 11:29 PM December 18, 2007

first morning in san diego. suburbia life makes me very angsty constantly. all that lightbulb for xmas decor and driving to get around. RAWR 11:28 PM December 18, 2007

making sure all my electrical appliances are turned off at the source before I leave town for a month 09:41 AM December 17, 2007
