Go Green, Think Green

Tuesday 14 July 2009

Today, I looked up another friend to deliver some London Almond cookies to her. She cooked us dinner - masak lemak sayur dan ayam panggang - Best betul! Mana-mana pegi, makan mesti Melayu jugak.

At the tube station, I saw big posters written "Go Green, Think Green", all in the quest to make this world a better place to live. At the Richard Dimbleby Lecture last week (7 July), Prince Charles was reported to support green issues, saying that materialism and the British "consumerist" society has brought the world close to environmental collapse. He said that everyone knows the truth, but chooses to ignore. On the Malaysian front too, green issues are affecting our palm oil industry. Tan Sri Dr Yusof Basiron, CEO of Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC), bravely commented on the Industry's quest for sustainability and environmental protection. He said,"Right now, one part of the planet consumes and pollutes in its lavish lifestyle, while another part is forced to remain undeveloped and to preserve their forests for future generation". To me, everyone of us in this planet has a responsibilty to preserve our Mother Earth in our own little way, even if we bother not to throw out rubbish while driving! Little things mean alot.
