Concern over “Green” Advertisement

I’ve worked with Wei Tao before on a Green Carnival within the NUS (National University of Singapore) campus. Great to see how they managed to get the students and lecturers involved in the event, promoting green awareness AND action within campus itself. Always takes a small step to walk a distance. Recently I received an […]

Who’s your EcoFriend?

I chanced upon this EcoFriend Award that NEA (National Environment Agency) is doing and thought I’d share it with my fellow green friends in Singapore.
Everybody has a part to play in taking care of the environment that we all live in and share. Some have done more than others, passionately and protesting against poor […]

friends of the earth

Something is always happening in the world that requires your action. Friends of the Earth has this page of shout outs to get people to get involved. It could be a movement to switch off all electricity city-wide or a petition to the government in South Africa to stop incineration.
Some days we wonder what […]

Say no to plastic and styrofoam packaging

I just discovered the coolest food packaging that is eco-friendly and I’m surprised they’re still not being used at mass by our hawkers, judging by the great pricing they offer!
Check out OliveGreen.
They have an extensive supply of all that you need - utensils, food pack boxes, cups, bags and even bento-looking food packs that are […]

Very Green @ Zouk

The last Very Party that I went for at Zouk (really love the way they thematically dress their parties!) was the Very Vintage party and that was sooo much fun. This time round, Zouk was dressed in all green, even serving up Pokka green tea vodka (what fun) and getting everybody dressed in green while […]

Green wrapping for your gifts

I’m starting my Christmas shopping really early and I’m starting to compile a list of friends to shop for, just to get myself a guide going. Usually I get inspired only by the items like “Hey this is GREAT for Felicia!” or “I know Yvonne will totally adore this” instead of sticking to a must-buy-for […]

Diapers and pads go green

Recently, Xin and I were contemplating trying out reusable menstrual pads (hee) ever since we saw craftsters on Etsy selling them. We found a company with alot of information on their website and we really appreciate Lunapad’s help in answering our queries so promptly. If you’d check out the site, you’d see that how these […]

Banning the bottles

I’m very thankful for the day that mom started our whole family on using Nalgene bottles and it’s a habit that stuck ever since. We take our water carriers everywhere we go to keep us nicely moisturised in this crazy humid weather that we have here in Singapore. We have bottles of few sizes and […]
