Hello my green green world. Well I doubt is getting any greener, looked out my apartment these past few days and the haze is back.....oh gosh it is so hard isn't it. It is hard to see what the world is turning into and even harder to start my project of 'living green", slowly but surely I will get there.
Things that got me thinking over the weekend was, if we want to start living green of course we need the help of some green products. Let's face it, we are slaves to loads of product in the market and some we can't live without. So I got on searching and what would ya know they have top 'green brands', but I think it is in the US.
The list includes corporate giants like Clorox - yeah the bleach company and Colgate-Palmolive. It is more like they own brands that are in the top 10 "green" brands. This is according to new global survey of consumer perceptions by WPP - some giant marketing and communications firm.
1. Burt's Bees - hmm I think I have heard of them and they are new in Malaysia. Something like the Body Shop but I think most of their stuff are made of bee's wax. It is owned by Clorox.
2. Whole Foods Market - natural and organic store - another one of those!!! I think we have something similar in Malaysia. But what I can tell you is that most of it are super expensive
3. Tom's of Maine - apparently owned by Colgate Palmolive - another lifestyle brand.
4. Trader Joe's - a grocery store in the USA - none in Malaysia, I checked
5. Google - yup the fav search engine is also green......hmm I wonder how did that happen
6. Aveeno - another lifestyle brand.....not available in Malaysia
7. SC Johnson - nope it has nothing to do with Johnson & Johnson. Sc Johnson does all these cleaning stuff for household. Some of it is available in Malaysia. Good to know and shall check that out
8. Public - this I am not sure, is it us the public or a brand.....I need to do more research on this
9. Microsoft - wow surprise surprise...
10. Ikea - woo hooo they made it too. This is only for those who can afford them

Mother Nature is trying to tell us something.........Listen
I am sure everyone has read about the floods in Singapore yesterday. Was anyone shocked...I know I was!!!??
I mean seriously.....Singapore, nothing ever happens to Singapore....it is too small and I thought they always had everything figured out. I guess no one could figure out the powers that be.
If we take a moment, sit back and look at all the things that has been happening in the world lately, we might just notice that maybe Mother Nature is trying to tell us something.
There are a lot of natural disaster in just under a year compared to maybe 10 years ago. We have earthquakes, tornado, flash floods....etc. It is scary and I think we have to take heed.
A little bit matters, small baby steps from each one of us would be better don't you think. I seriously wish those in power should stand up and pay attention and do something about it.
