There’ll be a Green Every Day celebration on 8th June 2008 at Taman Lembah Kiara in Taman Tun Dr Ismail. That’s this coming Sunday to be exact. Admission is free and the event is from 9am to 4pm. There’s no specification on what events will be held there but i think there’s no harm dropping by if i could make it. Afterall, i’m all for the environment. Are you going to check it out?
Speaking of environment, i think more and more people are aware of environmental issues such as climate change and environmental conservation. I know i am. Just today, there is news on China taking a curb on plastic usage in the country. I had no idea that China alone is consuming 1 trillion of plastic per year. Imagine the total of plastic waste, all countries combined. No wonder Mother Earth is wrecking havoc like crazy.
Personally i think China’s move by charging the public for plastic bags and banning unnecessary use of plastics is the way to go. Malaysia too may benefit from similar acts. Well, maybe not a complete ban in plastic bags. *mom will kill me coz she’s using those for sealing food in the refrigerator. Maybe just a ban in shopping malls. This might push the people to opt for alternatives like using a green bag which will help in the ecology department for long term.
My pledges for a greener world made ahead is:
“I will decline plastic bags at shopping malls or stores but use a green bag instead”
Ps: If you didn’t know, Justlife was selling a really cute shopping bag the last time i went for a visit. It’s priced at RM25 and it’s meant as a green bag. Have no idea if they’re still selling it. I’ll check it out if i’m there.
Dear Nuffnang, why not have an environment related event? Then old bags like me could join in the fun. Old ladies cannot be seen partying in wild animal costumes :P *i’m kidding. I’m not old, i’m just wrinkly… same goes to i’m not fat, i’m just big bone.
