10 Little things I do to try to respect the environment (Page 5 of 5)

10 Little Thoughts to understand the Others

1. Cashier at the grocery store has been trained to give out several plastic bags, because if bags are too heavy they may brake, and consumers may complain.  Just ask for recycled paper bags, almost all stores have them, in addition you can always bring the plastic bags to redemption center.
2. Working population may find the dryers useful, by the way how many laundries do you make in a year?
3. Working population has its playtime at night, so they go out, watch TV, study, if they are in school and so on. It is not about living following the nature,  it is about living!
4. About "rich" people I would not be that judgemental, how can you know that most of rich people do not reclycle? Is there any reserch on that?
5. I believe that people can spend money as they like, and for someone it means to have a 6 cylinders  SUV, someone else wants a 2 milllion dollar home, or 20 surfboards and winsurfboards in the garage. As long as one respects others persons and properties it is fine.
6. Bottled water is handy, bottles are recycleable, the industry creates jobs, and again when a person is busy filling up a bottle or two every morning can be difficult to remember.
7. What do you have against canned tomateos? I can make a great spaghetti sauce with organic canned tomatoes and save money, organic fresh tomatoes are expensive, and the one that are not organic involve the use of pesticides, which are not healthy for the environment.
8. I miss walking everyday, but how one can walk on Maui, besides walking on the beach, at the Mall, or to the post office when shopping at the grocery store in Paia?
9. Do you really think that there is a lot of rubbish around here? Maybe compared to North and Middle european countries, yes, but think about the "Bel Paese"? However, there is room for improvement here, that's for sure.
10. According to Darwin's theory of "The Survival of the Fittest" the stronger will survive and the weakest will disapperar, it has been like this for million of years, humans and non humans adapted to  environmental changes several times, what we can do is containing the damages we did, since I believe that each adult person has somewhat contributed to this situation, even Al Gore and Leo Di Caprio,(and would check which cars they have in their garages) and see what will happen.
Maybe the cute turtle of the picture will develop a digestive system which will enable it to digest all plastic and other rubbish and it will become the stronger specie and run the world.
That's my take in on it. Have a great day!
