Save The Earth & Preserve Our Living Environment
As we know, global warming is having a significant impact on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world, including humans. But how many of us is doing our parts on preventing this issue?
Ikea Singapore is encouraging shoppers to carry their own reusable bag during shopping. By using reusable bags during shopping trips, we will use fewer plastic bags and help to conserve the earth’s resources.
Then I came across another article saying that San Fransciso has decided to go one up alternative scale by banning the use of plastic bags in large supermaket chains. With this simple move it would save up to 450,000 gallons of oil a year and will disminish the annual 1,400 tons of debris being sent to landfills per year.
From there we can noticed that by making simple changes in our everyday lives, we can make significant strides to improve the planet we all share.
But how many of us are doing this?…i admitted that myself are among one of them. I used to asked for as many plastic bags as i can when i shopped for groceries in Tesco (to be used as garbage bag in my house). Feel a bit guilty now…
,…may be i shall start to reduce the usage on plastic bag…and dun ask for additional plastic bag in Tesco…

If like recycling newspapers, we would also get paid for recycling all our rubbish, this would benefit all.
Also governments as they are now paying for collecting the rubbish and polluting the environment.
Unfortunately, democracy doesn’t give people in power to focus on long term issues. Seems we need much more pollution, death people and catastrophies before people in power start doing something.
Therefor I wonder : should I stop asking the plastic bags or just even ask more so the point of “no return:people in power have to act” will come faster.
