Our Environment

What is the reason behind our efforts of all these recycling programs? Do we really think recycling the bottles and newspaper really save the earth?

When we say Styrofoam is not bio-degradable, we go back to kill mountains of trees to make them into paper cups. Paper cups that have polyethylene lining.

A lot of us rinse our soft drink bottles before recycling. The bottles are then washed again in the recycling plant.

The whole recycling thing tells us they found a way to be more environment, the issues were minimized and we can continue to consume - without any guilty feeling.

More things being brought to the recycling plant. More stuff be re-created from the recycled material. But most of the products we are buying are not manufactured from 100% recycled material and most products are not 100% recyclable. At the end we are still creating as much if not more disposal in the dump sites.

Not getting a plastic bag from the grocery store may sound like a good start. But take a look at those products we buy from the stores, those packaging are all waste. Our modern life of convenience and hygiene creates all these excessive rubbish. I don't know how to save the planet, may be like so many other things the root of all the problems is us being here.

The secret in their eyes

So this is a love story pretending to be a detective story?
These two lovers were so in love into each other but were so caring to each other that the only thing they could do were to buried their true feelings and sacrifice their own happiness because they were from different families. But I was never showed how they were happy together.
I could only see the struggle and tension. The male was protective and the female was willingly. They looked well be business partners. Yes, there were this look in the eyes captured in the picture. But was that enough?
Maybe all we need is just something that we are longing to happen. That space that allows our imagination to take off and go to a far, far place. Where we escape from this life, from everything around us. When we are old enough, nothing measures, we do what we always plan to do. Or what we think we do. Bucket list?
When we retire, we may have more time to sleep, but there ain't no guarantee that we will be anywhere braver to live our dreams. There is no excuse to wait for some day, more than likely there is no some day, there is simply no tomorrow.
