World Environment Day on June 5th....

We have just a couple more days to go for the World Environment Day on June 5th. Another day will go by with the characteristic fanfare meant to show that we care about nature.

While in Belgium, try to be as environment friendly as possible. Even if we try our best to turn off heating and lights when not required, we might get slapped with high electricity bills from Electrabel - the Government company which controls electricy supply and billing in Belgium.

And it is better to segregate garbage into different coloured bags and avoid notices from the commune. Hey, your appartment syndicate or maintenace company might even show up to urge you to do the same correctly. How is that for some real motivation?

Companies are struggling to go paperless these days. Its great to be able to read, edit and send documents online. If you need to print, the advice is to use both sides to save paper.

We've got all the rules in place for going green. The question is "how many of us will walk the talk"?
