Today when we went to the supermarket we had 13 items packed in 9 plastic bags !!! Haven't they ever heard of the ecosystem / global warming/ recycling/ reuse? At this rate, how on earth is UAE going to keep it's promise of being free of plastic bags by 2013 ?
I absolutely hate it when people go to a grocery store, and when they get the bill, 95% don't even glance at it. Imagine the number of trees that will get saved if the bills are not printed ! Trees are our main life support. If we continue to cut down trees like this, the human race will come to and end. Think of all the wooden furniture in your home. Think about how many trees needed to be cut to make them.
I just wish people could take recycling seriously and do their bit for the environment . Maybe if we do take things a wee bit seriously, we'll have fewer earthquakes, volcanoes erupting, floods, tsunamis, out of season rainfalls and perhaps enjoy nature more !

In my house, there are 9 air-conditioning systems and 4 of them are on 24/7. Think about the air-conditioning systems in your homes. I admit I cannot live without the air-con but then can't we have solar-energy??? Why don't the middle-east governments get together and do something about it? As it is we get enough sun to fry an egg on our window-sills !!
It also annoys me when people don't segregate their rubbish and put all in just one bag ! It does not even take an extra minute to put garbage in different bags .

Written so well. Sounds straight from the heart. I love the way your blog is moving.
ReplyDeleteYeah, have often wondered about solar energy in this part of the world...
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right sweetheart.Recycling and banning plastic bags is very important for our environment.I just wish more kids your age thought this way....maybe they could teach us grown ups a thing or too.
