Looking at the natural disasters which hit us so frequently in the past recent years, and looking at last night’s simple flash flood hit a common city like KL without any warnings, it’s so sad that some of these leaders are actually wearing a sympathetic mask announcing their dismay, but refusing to work towards effort like the Kyoto’s Treaty. We don’t even know whether treaty like this would help significantly, but for goodness sake, if we shut off effort like this altogether, we are likely to live short enough to see enough destruction and suffering on this planet. Does it take their own family to go through a typhoon in order to realize what comes out from their tiny mouths means a great deal to many people?? I just wonder why the lives of so many people are at the mercy of these few leaders. Are they trying to prove that their short-term economic benefits would prevail over preservation of mankind? I just hope soon enough that the World Environment Day does not fall on a single day, it should be abolished. As a citizen of this Earth, we should treat it as a habit to preserve, instead of ‘a day of reminder’.
I’ve been doing my part (since young), not to waste food in my own plate. I would be very sick to see innocent food thrown away while so many unfortunate beings beg for a single grain. Not only do I finish mine, I would even help others to finish theirs. It's a habit cultivated through Mom. It may not be enough still, but I’m putting in more - writing this blog is another one.

Excerpt from our Management's recent memo which I think worths every thought to be updated in this post:
"Our planet faces potentially devastating social and economic consequences. If no action is taken by governments or business there is more than a 75% chance of global temperatures rising between 2-3C over the next 50 years, with water shortage likely to be one of the first and most tangible consequences. Extreme weather is forecast to reduce global GDP by 1%, global economic output by up to 10%, and global consumption per head by up to 20% by 2050"
