Ever heard of Bokashi? Yup, neither did I until one day I stumbled upon this post, Composting Kitchen Waste. Please take the time to read the entry and I hope at the end of it you will be inspired like I have been. Well, I have contacted one of the blog authors, Helen and have ordered a set for myself. The initial payment for the set is on the high side (RM100 - includes a 20L Bokashi bin and 1kg Bokashi) but think of how you can help sustain our environment by reducing the amount of chemicals released into our ecosystem. To all you cd crazy and envinronmentally friendly mamas out there, the set equals the cost of a cute One Size Blueberry Minky with a RM3 discount (shipping costs excluded). I'm sure we can make this sacrifice for our planet! For our children in fact and future generations too! We mummy's (and daddy's) need to be role models for our babies. As much as cd's have become an addiction, so should Bokashi. Right? Right!!
On top of that, in the long run you will be saving yourself some $$ too since you won't have to purchase additional chemicals to clean your toilets and sinks. Plus its free fertilizer for you greenfingered women and men out there. However, like is mentioned in the blog, in order for this to work well you will need some PATIENCE and a GOOD UNDERSTANDING of the process. And I guess some getting used to too but for motivation think of the GREATER GOOD.
Some other ways we can....
REDUCE. Reduce the use of plastice bags. The next time you go grocery shopping, buy a re-usable bag (such as provided by most major supermarkets) and stop/reduce using plastic bags.
RECYCLE. Recycle all recyclable waste. First, find the nearest recycling station. Have separate bins for plastic, paper, glass, etc. We all know where the organic (kitchen) waste goes. Set a garbage dump day and send all your waste to the recycling station. We all know how it goes.
SIMPLE. QUICK. EFFECTIVE. Together we can!
