* Green Living Tips

Please practise these simple steps every day and help to leave our children a living planet.

In Your Home

• Turn off equipment like televisions, computers and stereos when you're not using them. That little red standby light means they're still using power - and that means a contribution to global warming. 
• Save water: turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. 
• Recycle your paper, glass, plastics and other waste. 
• Send e-greetings instead of paper cards. Check out the range of free WWF e-cards available. 
• Help reduce the world's rubbish dumps - don't use "throw-away" products like paper plates and napkins, and plastic knives, forks, and cups. Avoid using Styrofoam cups, plates and boxes – take away your food by bringing your own plastic container to food stalls and restaurants.

Out & About

• Take your own bags to the shops to carry home your groceries and shopping. 
• Look for products with less packaging. 
• Buy the most energy-efficient household appliances you can afford. 
• Use recycled paper. 
• Choose wisely and help stop illegal wildlife trade!
  • Do not buy products made from endangered species, such as "tortoiseshell jewellery" (Hawksbill turtle shell) or ivory.
  • Do not eat dishes that include parts of endangered species, such as sharks fin soup or turtle eggs.
  • Do not buy medicines which claim to contain parts of endangered species, such as pangolin scales, tiger bone or bear bile.

In the Garden

• Collect rainwater to water your flowers. 
• Plant local species of trees. 
• Never take plants or pick flowers from anywhere in the wild.
