If all the rubbish bins in the nation could be changed to the ones which separates “paper; plastics; others” etc, I could scream with glee!

If we drink from bottles, then recycle the bottles, wouldn’t it be less damage done than banning them wholesale? we would still have convenience!

ah, convenience. human’s biggest sin, no? everything at our convenience, and look at what it’s doing to our environment. plus, im not denying the fact tht recycling would then use up energy and the whole big wheel keeps on turning; vicious cycle.

ah, i’m rather confused now. D:

“If all the insects on earth disappeared, within 50 years all life on earth would disappear. If all humans disappeared, within 50 years all species would flourish as never before.”

Sustainability is just about giving time for the environment to regenerate. Its just nature, and I suppose if we do our bit to reduce our wastage and encourage reusing/recycling, it could go a long way.

Economic sense is one matter and i’m not too sure why the government needs to be part of it all the time. Its just a choice. In the office, use a mug/bottle for water from the tap instead of purchasing bottled water. That is economical for me, or perhaps because i’m just a student and see it as so. Economic Benefits don’t always succumb to monetary needs specifically – There is the classical model to economics, or we can as consumers influence economics to see the environment as a factor. It isn’t rigid.

For the first few years, they can be bothered to send me birthday cards, and the yearly statements on how much bonuses I had accumulated, but never have they send me any changes or updated Benefit Illustration, to me I took for granted that it still remains the same, plus the additional bonuses yearly.

But in 2004, when I checked my policy, I was told that it differs greatly from what was told to me by the devious sales consultant.
I surrendered my policy at a lost of about $5,000 from my principal sum and closed all my OCBC bank a/c and vowed never to deal with OCBC and GE.
I went to IDRO & CMU to claimed MIS-SELLING by the staff. Initially I was skeptical on their trust, true enough they sided with the bank & GE, because the staff told me that their salaries were paid by the bank & insurance association.
In April of this year I went to Fidrec and was thrown out of the office, because I had unfoiled their incompentent staff making mistakes and telling lies to cover-up.
I had sent feedbacks to MAS & Fidec
At this present moment I am still waiting for their reply.
