Before you throw...

Annoys me max when I see "useful" stuff being thrown away.
Before you throw anything next time, ask yourself, what can you do with this item, that item?
*i m not here to show off*. I feel that we are pampered and taking things for granted.

Last night, I went to thrash and I saw this in the garbage room
*note, I stay in a condo and every floor will have a garbage room*


This is a 5.5L bottle. You know, a bottle can be re-use in so many ways. So I quickly sneaked back this bottle to my unit and I am preparing to bring it to BYOB.

Let's say, you dont bring it to BYOB, you can of course wash it clean and use it to refill water, cut the bottle up to put stuff...and many more. *leave to your creativity*

BYOB Green Concepts

I first heard about BYOB through Sasha' blog.
So what is this BYOB? Read here

In Summary:
1) Keep all your bottles at home, be it shampoo, soft drink bottles, mineral water, etc.
2) Bring to BYOB outlet in Cheras. Hope they will open in PJ soon. I took me 1 hour ++, a few tolls from USJ to reach BYOB
3) In BYOB, their min order is 1Liter per type of detergent. If you go to the FB page, they will list all their available detergents
4) Pay

This is what I bought. Guess how much?
1) 2L of Mop & Shine (for mopping tiles)- will have shiner effect
2) 1L Dettol (to kill bacteria / toilet cleaning)
3) 1L Fabric Detergent
4) 2L Clothes Detergend (Liquid form)
5) 1L Shower Gel

So why BYOB?
1) Because we can re-use the bottles
2) Because its so much cheaper. For the above, if I spent it in Cosway, I will be paying RM69.30. Now I only pay RM16.20
3) The ingredients used in the detergents are biodegradable and save to the earth. Natural ingredients will be slowly introduced.
