Recycling?



I do. Do you? You should. Mother earth has given us a lot. And when we take, we need to give back. Most often than not, people forget so they take and take and take. And then what happens? Climate change, species extinction, land degradation, ozone depletion, and then pollution, pollution, pollution, and MORE pollution. When the issue of recycling arises, people often say they don't give a damn because they won't live long enough to be around to witness earth dissolve. Wow, what a nice and caring and loving society we live in. Why should you care, you ask? Wouldn't you want your children or your children's children to be living in a nice, clean, healthy environment? People often say they don't care because they have not had their own family and when you finally do, it's probably too late, so why don't you start now? Every step counts.

I recycle everything at home. From small little boxes to plastic bags to newspapers to god knows what. Anything and everything I suppose. I don't print what is necessary and I've opt for online statements or whatever you call it. It's sad that whenever I tell my friends not to print things they don't need, they roll their eyes and give me that 'fuck-off-look.' Hey, save the trees! Imagine one person printing just one sheet of paper everyday in every freaking household in every country in the world, the trees would be gone sooner than you think. I use paper front and back and if it had sides, i would use left and right too. And whenever I can, I bring along a shopping bag so I don't need plastic bags. Well, sometimes I do need them to line my bins at home. :P

My point is, we should do something to save the earth because if we want to live on here a little longer, we should start now. If everyone did their part, the earth would be a whole lot better place to live in. Just remember, the world is round, and whatever goes around, does come around. Go green!
