Going Green


The weather these days are really unpredictable and not because we are not doing anything but just our doings are not enough! Probably we are still understanding the nature of Mother Earth.

Everyday people from all over the world and all walks of life, organizations, the government and private sectors are trying very hard! But, the fact is the damaging is still more than the savings!
Thus, we have to keep on doing it everyday, every minute and every moment of our life!

When we stressed on everyday living on green, the word eco will definitely be the best that we can offer. We have to get used to being eco on our daily usage, the biggest harm there is is in here!

In our effort to do so, our supermarts & hypermarts took first step on this - cut down on plastic shopping bags. One group that does this will not only help but also will save their own pockets by not giving out plastic bags for 3 days! Some does it for a day and others for 2 days a week. Well, this do help.

Hopefully what they are doing everywhere will encourage the new generation to do even more, of which I find that they are not! many youngsters are still throwing things away! They are not used to picking them up actually. They find it shy to do so.

From around my place, I find water bottles being sprawled all over the area, even the floors! Cans from their drinks too! It's the workers ( bangladeshi ) who will be going around collecting them during their daily routine job. Well, at least they know these things will provide for their pocket money at the end of the day. And they are not shy. I, for this instance regularly pick up something from the floor when doing my strolls or passing by.
Our local daily newspaper has been doing this campaign for the last couple of years and looks like their continued efforts are showing results, especially on the youngsters.
Hope their keen campaigns will continue on regular basis throughout the year!
Keep it up! Keep up the good work!
Of course the hope is that more people will step forward to participate.
Our weather is changing at a very fast pace!
it's been reported recently that our sea level is rising considerably too!
The current going on of typhoons in the Asia is a sign of unhealthy weather.
And it is still brewing! Just these few days, after typhoon wrecked havoc in The Philippines,
it has headed for further destructions over in China!
Over in Europe continents too storms are being felt!
And it doesn't seem to be going away! Seems like more are coming their way!
Let's all do something to prevent, everyday!
Have a pleasant weekEND!

A Green Future

These days since I got my line reinstated from my online absence of 100 days due to my migration, I've been spending umpteen hours trying to do some space house-keeping on my bLoGs! Phew! And I can tell you that being missing in bLoGspacea do have lots of tidying to do.


I've done up to continue my main bLoGspot space, mebeFree and updates on my regular Poems page. Plus reNewing all my banners for every bLoGspace I have in bLoGger! Updates being done for my Cigarette Memoirs too! 

And now it's time to gear up Future Living - right here! Honestly speaking this bLoGspace is practically new. I created it for a new category taking out the Future Living bLoGs at mebeFree which was my first and only bLoG at bLoGger. In the years that passed, I have gone from an amateur bLoGger into a serious bLoGger. Through time and other spaces I have learn a lot of things whereby some online friends are good mentor. May they be old or young males or females. They actually taught me a lot of things. Most of all it's the reading that opened up new dimensions for me that I am who I am today!

Well, I dare not say I am being popular or having heavy traffic flow of visitors (V) to my bLoGs because of my frequent absence and limitation of making friends online. You see I have a habit which is my principle actually that I accept invitations only when they have some real profiles and are actively writing something or other activities like photobLoGs or just anything about themselves. Well, everybody can always have their first day and so will I! Taking today as another first step, here I am rolling up my socks!


This morning has been too late for my sleep ( for I have not slept through the whole night! ) and I am too early for any work to be done, so I went down and picked up today's newspaper - the local tabloit, The Star of which I must have! Even if I am late, the sundry shop will keep one for me! Before 8am, after a cup of milo, i brought up the paper and started flipping through and this page on Saturday Metro column has the following that is related to my page - about the environment. And something to do about my bags collection hobby ( both plastic and paper bags )



Since now that I am lodged in Penang Island, The Pearl of The Orient, it is downright for me to talk about what's going on around this vicinity.

Penang as I have found has continuously campaigning and promoting greens and eco-friendly community activities round the clock! Always constant.

The above picture shows Sunshine Wholesale Mart ( the place I used to frequent for my daily needs ) having this competition of eco-bags.
Entitled Sunshine Goes Green Eco Bag 2010, participants are invited to take part in the designing.

Going Cleaner Greener Penang is also a joint effort by Nokia and The Star together with 3 other Penang government departments. It's The Great Green concern that was at one time ( or still is? ) the theme for Going Green in Penang.

Well, those who purchase a copy of tomorrow's Sunday Star will get to participate in The Star Cup Fever 2010 in conjunction to the now hot on the topic wOrLd Cup 2010!

So, be at Sunshine Farlim in Air Hitam from 11am to 4pm tomorrow ( Sunday ) and watch what's going on! A lot of activities is happening there and should be a very busy place!

See you there then and come around here more often!
catch up with me!
Thanks for reading!
Happy weekEND!
