Are We Going Green?

Recently our government had started to go Green. Are our dear citizens ready?

Some of the leading supermarket had started to make small step. A very small step. Every 1st Wed of the month, there would be no FREE plastic bag. Every REQUESTED plastic bag would be charged. Lots of people are not receptive about the measure taken. Well, it is only a small step, yet people are complaining. They are not concern about the environment? Or are they used to taking free plastic bag for granted? Or they just want to complain?

Some of the complainers still have the cheek to 'blame' the government that it is the government that had, for so many years, 'installed' the habit of throwing rubbish with plastic bag!! Well, I believe if other country with 'No Plastic Bag' could throw their rubbish systematically, why can't we? C'mon, this 'habit' is not so difficult to kick off, right?

Stop giving lame excuses.

Well, I believe the locals need time to condition to the green idea. Maybe our friends need to be re-educated again. Maybe more envionmental-concern programmes need to be shown. Media, definetely, could play an important part. Maybe our household names people need to chip in. The newspapers, magazines, blah blah blah. As the saying goes, "Monkey see, Monkey do". Saving the earth could become a 'in-thing', so long the local started to think it is 'cool' to save the planet.

Sometimes I wonder, what will happen next when our earth have ended?
