Minn passed these stickers to me which her company designed for World Environment Day.
While I happily hold them in my hands (am always excited over stickers!), chubby hubby commented that isn't printing all these a waste of resources which is not green at all.
And I guess he's right! Isn't it ironic?
Me, for one, tried my best to be green. I recycle papers, cans and plastic bottles by faithfully accumulating them and then bringing them to the recycle bins below my place.
I also try to save electricity by switching off all unnecessary appliances. I even unplug my laptop adapter every night cause I read from Yahoo a while back that devices with an internal clock (like laptop and oven), will continue to draw electricity as long as they are plug into the socket, even when turned off.
But the ironic thing is, I am guilty of using too much water, especially during bathing. I wastefully allow the water to run for the entire duration of my shower which I really feel guilty about! But I've been doing this since forever and I'm not about to change just because I want to be green.
The point is, I can never be like those extremely green people who get featured on TV - they actually save the water from mopping floor to flush the loo and even for flushing, they have fixed schedule whereby flushing is only allowed after 5 usage of the loo (not sure if they make an exception for poo-ing; imagine the first usage is to poo!).
But whatever I can do and I feel comfortable doing, I try my best to do it. Doesn't matter that I can't do everything or that my lone effort cannot make the earth more green. I contribute in the small ways that I know how. And take pride in the fact that instead of wasting everything, I am at least doing something.
