No Polys Allowed

About a month ago, Dentsu Utama imposed a ban on Polystyrene food containers. Anyone seen using Polystyrene will be fined RM2. (I think our VP owes us RM10 :D)

It was a tough habit to scrape off but I think it's working out progressively.

We've purchased 10 plastic containers and left 5 of them at the Mamak downstairs, Alai Restaurant, for any delivery order made from Dentsu Utama. The other 5 was left in the pantry for anyone who wishes to 'tapau' food from other vendors in the vicinity.

Though I must say, educating Alai was a pain in the neck. I think it took then nearly 2 weeks to make sure they get it right. I've explained to them more than 3 times to use those containers instead of Polystyrene boxes when sending food to the office.

Another Green Buddy, Daphne, almost vomitted blood and her guts content telling the mamak guy to never ever ever ever pack her food in a Polystyrene container, otherwise the food will not be allowed to enter Dentsu Utama. And I have a pretty good feeling the mamak guys must be thinking that Dentsu Utama is allergic to Polystyrene.

Well, actually not us, but the earth :)

The Green Buddies' Experiment

Ok, here's what happened to the second seed. It didn't grow. So we sowed another seed and we had little plant-lets. It's so cool. We were so happy to see them emerging from the soil. And it took a long while to wait.

Now we know how it feels to wait for something to grow.

I learnt that it takes a lot of patience to grow a plant and i think Mother Nature is patient enough to wait a few million years to see her forests grow into green canopies that spread across continents. And only to find out in the end that those canopies are beginning to disappear because of industrialisation and capitalism.

Quitting it

It's sooooooooooooooooo hard to go by a day without my rolled ciggie. I guess we were too gung-ho last year that we had no idea what we're getting ourselves into. But then again, we're Green Buddies and we're supposed to be kind to the environment. So it only makes sense to quit this habit and start to contribute to the environment sincerely (-_-)

Well now that i've kicked ciggies aside, next is to go vegetarian once a week. That'll be hard to do i think. First the ciggies then the nice pork and beef. But never mind, i think i'll be able to do it.

As i'm typing this post, i just feel like smoking one, but i know it's just stupid to even do it. So i won't.

I'll be a good Green Buddy :D
