Turn off the lights

I'm planning to participate in Earth Hour. Its as simple as keeping the lights off for an hour this Saturday from 8.30-9.30pm. Do your part and make a statement for the environment. Our Earth is worth saving.

I've done other things... like no longer using plastic bags. I either use my hand to carry individual items or a grocery bag for multiple purchases.

One of my lunch kaki finds me strange because I hand carry my groceries. She gives me a "you're a weirdo" look when I tell her I'm doing my part for "Mother Earth". She then stated that she can take more plastic bags on my behalf *sigh*

The Sleeping Dragon said...

Hai. There will be those who don't care so it's up to us to make the difference.

but we all cant deny that we got to use some of those plastic bags for dumping rubbish and all that. I have my eco bags, but I will still take a few when "supplies" are running low.

saving earth is not just abt plastic bags, we can recycle and reuse too. hardly anyone i know recycles

Chicken and egg issue. Should there be more recycle bins before people start recycling or should more people have the habit to recycle first before having more bins? Who is going to foot the bill for more bins and the cost of transporting all the collected items? *sigh*

Boo! said...

a lot of people are handed those recycling bags, they just need to dump whatever that can be recycled into the bags and place it outside their homes. simple.

i walk to the recycling bins about twice a week. it is about getting the habit into your routine, getting into the habit of separating your rubbish.
