Here in Washington DC they have initiated a $.05 fee to customers who purchase groceries and use plastic bags. Thus helping to incourage people to bring their own bags or simply carry the items.

That's a good move. I've stopped using plastic bags already. I've been using paper bags, but now they say we must save trees. 😔

True, plant fiber bags are better if they are from a sustainable product: hemp, bamboo, etc. and are unprocessed. Although tree paper bags are still better than plastic if the content is either 100% recycled or from sustainable harvest and the bag is used multiple times and then recycled again or composted.

Argh, only managed to half-celebrate Earth Hour. Still had some errands to do at home, so switched off all lights except one. There were some fireworks at 8:30pm and 9:30pm, though its probably just kids trying to use Earth Hour as a pretense to play with them 😛 Unfortunately only a few Malaysians were actually aware of this event.

Some countries like China have a net tree growth for now. That country seems to be intent on pursuing with being "green", probably to offset the huge energy demand.
Ok folks, lets start discussing about our own CE Hour thing, which I think should be weekly (on top of the usual energy saving things we should be doing daily). Perhaps it can be an activity to carry out some recycling of stuff at home/work, etc. Any ideas?

Oh, that could bring some great results. CEans are going to be Really 'eco-friendly'! 😀
