This Sunday’s blog post was supposed to be scheduled for our midweek blog post, but due to us being busy in many many many projects, we had to delay the blog post. So sorry if we made any of you guys wait!
Without further ado, Marketing for GAIA presents:
FIVE UNBELIEVABLE METHODS YOU CAN DO TO SAVE GAIA
Method #1
Share your belongings!
And of course by “belongings” we don’t mean your undergarments. We are pretty sure some of you will be thinking of that. The kinky part will only come in Method #4, so chill, we’ll get there!
Sharing stationery or tools is a good way to save the environment and your hard earned cash. Think about it, how much resources will be saved by just sharing something with your pal. Imagine because of you guys just sharing a pencil, a tree in the Amazon was saved from a woodcutters ax! Or let’s say you need to use a hammer. Just walk over to your neighbour’s house, and ask to borrow a hammer. Make sure you say please! And hey presto! Saved 60 bucks!
Oh and please, be willing to share your OWN belongings too!
Method #2
Have a no shower week!
Please, only do this when you know you aren’t meeting any human beings for a week! So we recommend only doing this during holidays. For the working adults, how about a week’s leave to save the environment? It’s worth it!
I’m sure everyone is intelligent enough to know the reason behind this method. Just in case you don’t, it’s all about saving water. Imagine how much water you can save. Okay lets say you usually bathe twice a day, and each time you bathe you use up 25 litres of water. That’s 350 litres of liquid saved! You can also make that energy bill go down a little for that month.
Method #3
Have a waste bin, AND a recycling bin at home
“We heard that one already” Yeah we know you have, but there’s a catch!
Implement a scoring system! Here’s the proposed game plan:
-Create scoreboards for each bin.
- For every object thrown into the recycling bin, award the recycling side one point.
- For every object thrown into the waste bin, award the waste side one point.
- At the end of each week, calculate the scores.
- Reward yourself if recycling side has more point. Give yourself a chocolate bar or something.
As you may know, the whole point of this is to encourage recycling in your very own home. Give it a try, it could be fun for the whole family!
Method #4
Take a bath with your partner/spouse, hehe!
Here you go, the long awaited kinky part!
We recommend doing this only when you’re grown up and married? Some mature themes here.
How will this save the environment? Well, if you think about it, you will be using one person’s worth of bath water (25 litres!) for two people. And what better way to kick off that dreary Monday morning with a hot, steamy bath eh? Eh? You’ll improve your relationship with your loved one and won’t be late for work ever again! Actually, you might be even later for work if you know what I mean eh?
Method #5
Plant a tree!
Okay guys, kinky part’s over. Getting down to more serious business here! Every single day we will use up some form of product that is made up of trees. Of course the most common one being paper. What better way to repay all the paper you used up by presenting the world with a new tree!
And it’s not just paper, the doors to your home were trees. The pencils you use were once trees. Even the coffee table I’m typing this on is made up of a tree that used to stand tall in Indonesia. It tears us to think about the lives we have taken away. ‘Lives’ in plural because each tree is a habitat, a home to thousands of creatures. Each time we print out our reports, a squirrel loses its home, or a bird will lose it’s nest with their young in it.
Let’s create new homes for all these displaced animals. Here in Singapore, you can give back to the environment by donating to the Plant a Tree campaign. The website shown below tells you how you can participate.

For every $200 dollars donated, a tree will be planted. Also, all proceeds from our upcoming campaign will be used to fund the planting of new trees. So you have to stay tuned! Our campaign will be coming REALLY REALLY SOON!
We hope everyone enjoyed this blogpost! The admins at Marketing for GAIA did a considerable amount of research and discussion to make this post happen. Also We would like to thank admin Zaitsev for all the illustrations.
Thank you and stay tuned for more!
