my "lil auntie" expedition:
thought that i could prepare lunch for ourselves tmr.
so i went to get the ingredients when buying lunch.
i prepared myself with the resuable bag and a container to da bao my food.
here it goes...
when i was paying for the 1st item,
i told the auntie no need plastic bag when she straighaway reach for it once she scan it.
and she's like shock and "oh, thank you!'
yeah yeahh, "lil auntie" feeling a lil satisfied with herself alr.
then i went to the section of the supermarket downstairs
and got the sauces and pudding mix,
and this other auntie have the same reaction too.
it is like their habit to give away plastic bags like for EVERY customer
though i have a bag slung over my shoulder.
there after i walked back towards my home
and drop by the coffee shop to buy my lunch.
i wanted the porridge with the many many dishes type of lunch
cos supposed to have home-cooked porridge only, according to the naggy doc.
and i passed the auntie the container to put the porrodige.
and guess what the dishes were put in???!!!
STYROFOAM BOX!
and im like!
DANGG!!
all my efforts in saving the earth seems to be TOTALLY OUTWEIGHED by this dumb box!!
and i was too overwhelmed and still busy choosing the dishes
when the highly efficient auntie alr placed them in a plastic carrier while another uncle was serving me.
and washing the container need water right???
and soooooo...
can someone tell me that the VERY box ive used is environmentally friendly????
grrrr.. nehh mind!
shall come up with a better idea on how to save the earth in the my daily life.
and right from this,
i realised that all AUNTIES never bring their own carriers
so im so not auntie in the end!
my this lil expedition struck me after the many days of nwp reading
when there articles mentioning abt environmental friendly stuff
PLUS
my boring mugging life
PLUS
the nice lunch im preparing
makes me high and ideas keep coming non-stop..
but i think govt efforts and my very own effort wont be of any help
if habits dont change.
cos at first im feeling really auntie
carring an empty bag
but who knows..
the satisfaction is way way overwhelming[believing the fact that the box is GOOD!]
so people should stop taking free carriers
or maybe just ban them totally like in korea??
when we were overseas,
they will charge us for every bag used
and i think more people cultivate the habit
cos it gets expensive if we keep buying.
imagine 20cents per plastic bag??
yeahh, so ban and charge the use of it...?
ahhhaaa,
im thinking too much already.
back to my own lil world...
cos i think all this will be redundant
except influencing those around me who reads my humble bloggie..
yeahhh so people!
must stop taking plastic carriers!!
and be smarter and think of how not to use styrofoam boxes!
ps: font are in green, cos let's go green!
