Disposing Trash
Wednesday, October 17, 2007
I think for people to develop the want to recycle, they should first develop the need of disposing of thier garbage more responsibly. If people can't even throw away rubbish, how are they supposed to even recycle the rubbish into the correct bins?
I can bet with u that if u step out of your house and take a walk to the nearest eatery, you are bound to see rubbish that are not supposed to be where they are.
I for one think that people in this country think that bus stops are extra large rubbish bins, cardboard boxes, plastic bags, empty cans and an abundance of bus tickets are commonly found there... Once in a while it'll be clean though. Probably the poor cleaning people need to pick up after the "people", but most of the rubbish are just left to mother nature to be dealt with.
Sigh... poor land.... So I guess I should tell people to start throwing garbage into the designated areas before I tell them to recycle... no?
by the way, something happened on my way to college today. I was at a bus stop, waiting boringly for the bus to make it's grand entrance when I noticed a fellow HELP student. I had seen him before in one of my classes... Don't know him, He sat on the same bench as I did, separated by a metre or 2. He was eating his breakfast, some fried stuff and some fishball that was in a plastic bag, he kinda gobbled through his breakfast and conveniently *I say VERY conveniently* threw the plastic bag behind him like nobody's business.
I was kinda pissed off, I started to look for a rubbish bin. I was contemplating whether to ask the "dude" to pick up the rubbish. Then I saw him taking out a can drink.... so I told myself "if he throws that behind him, I'm so gonna ask him to pick it back up..." He didn't take too long to finish it and again threw it behind him.... I was furious.... but alas.....
I tapped his shoulder and told him, "Can you not litter?*simplified version, i said in mandarin :"Ni ke yi bu yau luan diu la ji ma?" direct translation would be: " can you not simply throw rubbish, which sounds slightly off"* The fella gave me some sort of look, it was between a "what the heck" and "what do u care?" look. he picked it up and threw it in the rubbish bin nearby, and hurried up his bus.... the same bus that I could have took but I didn't cause I didn't want to see him..... geramnya....
hmm.. I think that's about it... Cheerios!Labels: Emo, Gibberish, Thoughts
