Chinese New Year is just a few days away and many of us are cleaning our homes for the festive period. While house cleaning, using disposable paper towels is convenient but wasteful. A better option is to use cloth and rags that can be washed and reused again.
It is a tradition to buy new clothing and new stuff to replace the old ones. But think twice before buying new stuff. Do you really need them? Consider donating old clothing and stuff instead of throwing them away. And recycle where possible.
Reunion dinners are a time when family members get together to have a feast. While cooking, do ensure that you have sufficient but not excessive food. Too much food not eaten ends up as waste. Remember that the quality of eating dinner together is more important than the quantity of food.
While visiting relatives and friends or going sightseeing, do try to take public transport or carpool. Share your car with others and spend time together. Also, reuse old red packets or hongbaos to make art decorations and lanterns for your home. Be creative and have fun.
Wishing everyone a green and happy Chinese New Year! Gong Xi Fa Cai!
