BYOB’s yer uncle

That way!

This Bring Your Own Bag Day thing has got­ten quite a few peo­ple in a tizzy. I didn’t know of it until a friend men­tioned that he was charged 10c per plas­tic bag when he went shop­ping. He claims it isn’t unrea­son­able, given that, ‘in Tai­wan, you buy any­thing in the 7-Eleven also have to pay for the plas­tic bags’.

But what’s this news of peo­ple want­ing dis­counts for reusing/recycling bags? WTF?

Any­way, going green can be inter­est­ing, espe­cially if you visit treehugger.com’s sec­tion on ‘How to green your sex life’. It’s got very very enlight­en­ing bits of infor­ma­tion such as:

The meat indus­try is immensely resource inten­sive and accounts for 70% of the water pol­lu­tion in the US. Reduc­ing your meat con­sump­tion is one of the green­est things you can do…

…There are some very strong rumors going around that veg­e­tar­i­ans have the best tast­ing love juices (though some items from the veg­etable king­dom you may want to avoid, like aspara­gus and garlic). ..

Mmm­mmm… more V8 all round.

    i had started using recy­clable bags for quite some time already. but i got really pissed off with some of the cashiers at ntuc, shop n save, guardian. i can’t quite recall if wat­son is included. u noe what? when i checked out with my stuff & told the cashiers that i got my own car­rier, they actu­ally stood there doing noth­ing & expected me to pack the pur­chases myself! my hands were full, i bought sev­eral items, i as the cus­tomer, how come i was sup­posed to be doing their job? on a few occa­sions, i asked that they help me put the items into the car­rier, the cashiers gave me a really unhappy look! very boh gan guan atti­tude leh, miyagi! after these few unhappy expe­ri­ences, i stopped using my own car­rier at these outlets.

    THE ABOVE ARE MY TRUE EXPERIENCES! I SAID THE TRUTH, NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!
