Global warming and Low Carbon life

看完明珠台的Climate War(BBC製作), 原來到現在還有人爭議全球暖化的問題; 看著冰川不斷溶化, 竟還會有人認為是誇大其辭, 更否定問題所在.

姑勿論自己可以改變些什麼, 地球將來會怎樣, 在鼓吹消費的經濟和過度消耗的生活下, 確實有很多地方需要檢討, 是時候作出修正, 作為生活在地球上的一分子盡點點責任.

現代生活越趨追求快捷方便和享受, "生活"造成的浪費越加恐怖; 以下從生活細節著手的減碳小貼士, 總有部份是每個人都能夠實踐的, (不過不要這邊做了一小步, 另一邊又消耗一大堆....){資料來源自 低碳Action! }

1. 自備購物袋

2. 自攜水樽, 減省棄掉膠樽 (同樣減少使用即棄筷子餐具)

3. 淋浴時間減少一分鐘, 把熱水器的溫度調低

4. 減少用電腦一小時, 無需用電腦時緊記關機而不是留在待機模式; 同樣, 電視不看時要完全關掉, 不要使用備用模式

5. 充電器不用時緊記拔掉電源

6. 分類回收紙張

7. 食素唔食肉/只吃白肉少吃紅肉 (畜牧業會產生大量二氧化碳!)

8. 減少食薯片 (!!!)

9. 使用公共交通工具

10. 減少買衫買鞋買手袋

有時間請看看 HOME(地球很美有賴你) , 希望大家會更愛地球更珍惜所有

買了一堆乾花, 還在研究試驗中...

Dick Bruna ~ Zwarte Beertjes

via mieke willems
Zwarte Beertjes series, the illustrations and the covers are made by Dick Bruna.
Dick Bruna的 Miffy廣受歡迎, 但更多人喜歡他早期的插畫, 之前曾出版過他Zwarte Beertjes的專集, 好恨有不過好貴. 經mieke willems介紹, 在 flickr 可找得到部份"高清"版本, 五六十年代的創作, 到今時今日仍充滿現代感, 絕對歷久彌新的表表.

Terrible Yellow Eyes

Terrible Yellow Eyes is a collection of works inspired by the beloved classic, Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. They also have an exhibition dedicated to Maurice Sendak.
That's why i often see works about Where the Wild Things by different artists from their blog. Let's visit Terrible Yellow Eyes and give tribute to the classic, you can also check out many artists' website and their blog.

對小王子的溺愛程度是每遇到不同版本的都想買下順道重看一次, 每次都會因應當時的生活體驗社會變異心情落差而有不同領悟.
可以的話.... 我...希望.......每人也會用心去看一次小王子.......
總好過去看那堆惱人擾人的主流傳媒頭條, 傳媒只會喧囂製造是非噪音, 其他人跟著走跟著回應, 社會扭曲至此, 讀者真的需要這些嗎? 為什麼沒有人走出來說不? 真的沒所謂嗎?

以公司之名而怱怱走訪深水埗, 僅夠時間順道買了幾個木吊飾, 本來有色彩繽紛的, 只是個人偏好啡色而已.

心癢癢到花墟走一趟, 又受不住肥嘟嘟的多肉植物所引誘, 買了好幾盆回家繼續作盆栽實驗.
為什麼會有小王子? 因為那堆仙人球令我聯想起小王子的行星(!!?)... 其實一見鍾情的是頭頂有一堆堆像松果的仙人掌, 但較貴, 故選了另一株也可愛的.

MOE 30周年特集, 又有專題關於愛畫大自然的繪本插畫家, 更有借口要買嚟睇睇.

11月號的裝苑大字標題"Stitch", 好吸引... 不過內裡的專題內容略為瑣碎.
(日元匯價高企, 難得還有裝苑賣$55, 說的是旺角MTR近銀行中心出口的報攤)
另外felissimo旗下的Couturier, 雖有免費的網上版, 但見到還是不能抗拒買下一本, 始終喜歡拿上手左揭右揭的感覺. (又再次俾佢d懷舊印仔吸引...)
