Love the Mother Earth!

I am sure all young Malaysians love the mother earth. Nothing new in this post. Just want to know whether you are still using plastic bags for shopping. There are quite a number of hypermarkets which have stopped giving out plastic bags for free and started encouraging the use of recycled bags. More and more hypermarkets should follow suit too! (I still receive weird stares when shopping in Tesco recently by some aunties and uncles - sometimes the cashiers too...)

I am definitely looking forward to create better understanding among young Malaysians on the importance to consume and use only Bio-Degradable products to really protect the environment and have fun and look cool at the same time.

Do not use plastic bags when shopping for groceries! Use (very) colourful and nice biodegradable bags like mine. If you don't have enough I can give you some! Good things are meant to be shared, right?

However, I would really love to break some good news to Malaysians. I went to Singapore recently to see how green they were (which initially I thought they were greener). Seems like (agreed by Singaporeans) there have been much awareness and talking but actions don't seem to match them. Pretty significant contrary if you look at the new buildings coming up in Singapore. Where's the green element? See for yourself. I'm always proud to be Malaysians (though not sufficient initiatives but hell, we create plenty! Probably for Singaporeans too.) :)

Keep the Mother Earth green. Happy New Year, everyone.

Cheers and God bless!

When Mobbing Becomes Green

When Catherine mentioned one fine day that she wanted to organise a rally ala FlashMob to McDonald's, I thought that was a mad, mad idea and I immediately fell for it. It is probably the best thing we can ever do to raise Malaysians' awareness towards the importance of using eco-friendly products and materials to reduce carbon emission.

Full details of the rally is as follows, courtesy of Catherine's Rebeliciousz:

Purpose

1 Creating awareness of the use of less eco-friendly materials used in McDonald during serving.

Goal

1 Capturing the reactions of everyone (especially the waiter and waitress) in the McDonald outlet during the act.
