Save the Earth

It was Earth Day yesterday. Never really thought much about Earth Day until the many reports this year about how Mother Earth is dying with all the evil deeds Man has been causing unto her. It's worrying me... what if temperatures continue to soar? What if the ice bergs were all melted? What if there is no more petrol to dig up? ~Shudder~

I hate it when people waste the precious and limited resources like its none of their business. I see so many of such people around me... taking new pieces of A4 paper to doddle, print emails. Not switching off their computers when they leave etc etc.

I have been trying to help out lately by getting myself one of those shopping bags to use when I go to the supermarket. Kinda cool but I realized that I am always the only one with that kind of bags. Worst still, the cashier still insists in packing my things into a plastic bag before putting them into the green bag!! Hello??!! What's the point??? I am trying to save the Earth!!

We really need more education in this aspect. Perhaps the authorities should consider having those pictures of what the Earth would look like in 50 years printed on the plastic bags.... just like the disgusting pictures on cigarette packs.

If the soft approach doesn't work, we've got to use the hard approach!
