Earth Hour

\

Today is earth hour. People are encourage to switch off their lights for one hour from 8.30pm to 9.30pm. Though some people may think what can switching off lights for one hour do to save the earth. However, the idea behind earth hour is to remind people to turn off electrical items when they are not in used.

Beside electricity, we should also save on other resources as well for the sake of our future generation.

So..PLEASE SUPPORT EARTH HOUR!..

希望大家能够珍惜我们大地和海洋。。

Devour The Earth - A Great Documentary

"Devour the Earth is a succinct documentary produced by the UK’s Vegetarian Society and the European Vegetarian Union and is narrated by world-renowned vegetarian and mem-ber of the Beatles Sir Paul McCartney.

The film also features a prologue by the late second president of Slovenia, Dr Janez Drnovsek. " The documentary is said to "clearly illustrate the environmental con-sequences of human activity and the effects of the meat-based diet on our beautiful, precious planet.

"The ultimate message of Devour the Earth is that meat eating has hugely adverse effects on humans, animals and other parts of Earth’s ecosystem, all for the sake of food sources for which we have no nutritional need!

Reuse Of Plastic Food and Water Containers

According to the Star today, the Health Minister has adviced the public not to reuse plastic and food containers. According to the Minister, the quality of these products are questionable and people are at risk being exposed to chemicals that might seep into the food or liquid.

These has raised a very questionable situation. Since they know that those plastic containers are bringing hazard to the public's health, why the government does not ban the use of those containers and also stop the production of those containers? Although you can dispose the plastic containers after one use, these plastic containers will containminate the environment if the disposal are not properly handled. Plastic can not be burned because it will release toxic gas whey it is burned with fire. The government should educate the public on the handling of plastic disposal.

Currently, although there are recycle centers that recycle plastic items, the government should also impose legislation to reduce the use of plastic items such as plastic shopping bags. People should be encouraged to bring their own bags when shopping. The practise of bringing own bags when shopping has long been implemented in other countries such as Taiwan. The Malaysian Government should also start to implement this kind practise before our environment turn to a even worse condition.
