Long Lapse

Well, I really haven't been updating this much. Had a bit of trouble with just one blog so I left this alone some.

Anyway, even though I have not updated this blog, going green was never far from my mind though most of the time it was a matter of whether I was too lazy. I like the current project where you just leave recyclable items at your doorstep every other week for the recycling company to collect. I should really increase my 'contributions' to this project.

I find that I currently consume quite a number of can drinks at work so I am tampering with the idea of bring them back to drop into the Recycling bin. I should also cut down drinking can drinks to reduce usage of cans.

I've recently realised how irritated I can get to the sound of someone tearing up paper or the act of someone crumpling up some paper that is still reusable. I have a colleague who simply must rearrange things to his preferences and he got to tossing large amounts of paper. Fair enough that he wants to keep the place neat and tidy but it's nerve wrecking to hear the tearing of paper and tossing of paper into the general waste bin!

Like I always say, I think one day I might join Greenpeace and stage a protest outside ISO headquarters. ISO and other related quality frameworks are such a huge waste of paper. If people would at least recycle that paper, it wouldn't be half bad, but, this mentality is not prevalent here in Singapore.
