If you can be a superhero, which one would you be?

This question recently came up when Steph and Ping was having a 'crazy moment'. Have you ever thought of that? Not really eh?

Ping's answer - Captain Planet!!!!

Remember him? Captain Planet and the Planeteers would fight against the Eco-Villan to save the Earth. It was one of the 4/5pm cartoon during Ping's primary school days (maybe it was still playing during high school but Ping always get sekolah petang so never did took notice then). Ping actually forgot about him until Steph brought him up that day! During the commercial break, there is usually a public service announcement about how to reduce pollution (we're gonna take pollution down to zero!), save energy, and all the other environmental friendly stuff.

So yeah, that's who Ping wanna be. But with the amount of pollutants that we are creating today, Captain Planet is probably having a hard time saving the Earth.

Sometimes, we can't avoid creating more pollutants since they are in almost every cleaning products. But, there are definitely greener products out there. Ping recently found 'Method' at Target. Ping got their dish soap scented with pink grapefruit. All their products are made up of biodegradable ingredients. As of now, Ping had already used 1/4 of the bottle and washed 3 months worth of dishes and it does not seem to be any different from the other Earth-destryoing dish soap. The prices is a little bit more than the cheap ones but USD3-5 for a bottle of dish soap that last 1/2 year is worth it. Another nice thing with it is that it does not contain phosphate, which is harmful to rivers and lakes. Now Method can also be found at Walmart and CVS, or just buy it online lor. Too bad they don't market it to M'sia yet.
Check it out this book too....it is lots of fun! There's actually so many ways to save the environment! We can help Captain Planet!
