3 Reasons Why You Should Take Up Cycling

Here are 3 reasons why you should start cycling.

1) Burn those calories!

Cycling might look easy but those slopes and hills can really test your body. And burn calories too. You can burn 120 calories on a 30-minute cycle.

2) Reduce Carbon Footprint!

Go green! If you just want to buy a few stuff from the grocery store, just ride on your bike. You save on petrol, you work out, you reduce your carbon footprint. Save the environment girls!

3) Gives You Time To Think!

When I cycle, I actually use the time to think on solving problems. And believe me, you do find the solutions.

Go Green, Ways to Save Electricity

I might not be doing so much in my efforts to go green, but I always try whenever I can. My three tips in going green by saving electricity:
1) I always switch off the lights when I leave a room. And those that are not so necessary. In the mornings, the first thing I do is to switch off the light at the back of the house that we always turn on the whole night to light up the back lane.
2) I only wash full loads. I air-dry our clothes. I don't own a dryer. We get enough sunlight in this country to dry the clothes.
3) I always try to use the fan instead of air-conditioning. If the weather is too hot that we need to switch it on, I set the timer to 3-4 hours.

Earth Hour

Earth Hour will be in 40mins time. Let's switch off electricity for just one hour. Let's sit in the dark with your loved ones and reflect. Let's go green in the many little ways that we can. The little actions do matter!
Like last year, I'll be sitting by our small fish pond with Hubby and talk. Or maybe not talk. Maybe we'll just sit and watch the fish. And listen to the water. At times, no talking is good. Silence is good. Enjoying each others' company in silence is good.
Being in love is good. Healing the heart, even slowly is good.
