Going Green is the Way to Go
Looking at the state of the environment we are at right now, it is probably a little too late to try to fix things up.
However, we should at the very least try our best to clear things up.
This is just my common sense kicking in; we'd get ourselves a flu shot when we're down with a serious flu, right? Few years back, I remember coming across a lady at a hypermarket with her own "green" non-plastic bag.
At that moment, I thought to myself, if everyone was so concern with the environment just like this lady; imagine an ideal world being free of plastic.
This example illustrates that even with one person fighting a losing cause, together, our fighting spirit would certainly make a dent, if not an impact.
With the "no plastic bag" day, we are now 1/7 closer to achieve this ideal, though we still have a long path to go through.
Going through my domestic wastes for the day, I actually found that some of the materials can be recycled instead of making the trip to the landfill.
Having to rely on bottled and can drink for my daily fluid intake, the aluminum cans and glass bottles can be recycled instead of having to wait for what would seem like an eternity to be decomposed through the natural nitrogen cycle, or being mined as ore in the very distant future.
What do you think our distant descendants would find when they dig up a landfill hoping to discover a new source of natural resources? Answer: chains of non-biodegradable carbons!
