There's a green bug in all of us. Even those of us living in cities who see it as a cliched lifestyle choice.
Different shades of green. Green for jealousy; green fingers for when we tend our plants; green for when the earth's beauty actually hits a nerve in us and we realize that there are things we can do to comfortably inhabit the earth.
Here are pictures from a work retreat, which make me appreciate the fact that human beings are not the only inhabitants of this earth, despite the way we treat this ol earth. It's a wonder the animals haven't mounted a revolution against our selfish human selves! With all our littering etc.
At least they can't be blamed for damaging the environment, they are just doing what they've always done, in an environment made more difficult by us.
Kudos to Nakumatt too on their new eco friendly bags. Not sure if they're made from recycled bags, but i felt proud to see many of us purchasing them this weekend and not just holding out for the free one! It's easy to fold and keep in the car or large handbag for use when in Nakumatt or other store. I hear Tuskys Supermarkets are also planning to introduce the same bags.
Finally, we might just start getting our plastic menace under control! And perhaps put a stop to this whole thing of wrapping every purchased item in plastic! I mean even the smallest item gets wrapped few of us decline bags.
It's not a cliche, each of can do something for the environment in our own ways. So go out and purchase a bag(s) for your groceries.
