Do You LOHAS?

Do You LOHAS? Well, sure sounds like a cool term. Basically, if you are getting more environmentally conscious, eat more veges than meat (as in organic foods), practice yoga, work out, car pool or taking public transports, get close to the nature such as going bird watching in the rainforest of Borneo, use green products and volunteer at the Retirement Village for example, you are pretty close to becoming a LOHAS family.

LOHAS is an acronym for Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability which focuses on health and fitness, the environment, personal development, sustainable living and social justice.I've been wanting to post this topic since last year, but decided that there is too much to talk about, and that everyone lives their LOHAS lifestyle differently. Some really lavish, while some simply quite plain. Seriously, everyone defines their own LOHAS lifestyle in each unique way, but the most important thing is to be happy from the inside with your life, and be thankful and grateful that we are healthy and happy.

Summer is here~ Time to go hiking and smell the leaves and trees with the morning dews...you know you will find surprises in the woods sometimes~

Seeeee... Max is searching for the best spot around the crystal clear stream for an outdoor spaaa...Good Maxi~

Remark: Thank you Michael for sharing these great photos!

Happy Earth Day!

Today April 22 we are observing Earth Day, and celebrating our contribution to a greener planet by conserving more energy in our material production, ensuring we are emitting less CO2, and changing our daily living habits to make our planet a better place to live on.

Our environment and climate have changed vastly over the decades as a result of our ignorance and high ambition for accelerated industrial development. Let's play a greater role as environmental citizens and start from our household. Plant more trees, reduce wastes, cut air pollution, save our flora and fauna and push towards a sustainable and healthy environment for our present and future generations.
