At first i thought that this event will last forever. Only now while listening to the news on FM95.0 did i realised its only for today. Kinda disappointed. Just didn't see any point in doing it for just one day. Why not promote this forever. If its only for a day, people will just complain everytime this day arrives because they are not used to the habit of bringing their own bags or paying 10 cents for the plastic bags. But well, something better than nothing.
Plastic bags, a convenience to many a diaster to many more. The production and disposing are both harmful to the enviroment. I especially hate so when i see plastic floating in the sea. Seriously, just a piece of unwanted plastic can cause so much damage to the marine life. What if some poor turtle mistaken it for jelly fish and ate it for dinner. Try eating a plastic bag and you will know the effect.
Ballons. How romantic it is to set free thousands and millions of ballons during some celebration. My foot. Any idea where the ballons end up in the end? Heaven? You wish. They will end up in the ocean once they are deflated. What will happen when they drop into the ocean? The less-educated aka fishes, turtles, birds and all other marine life will see them as food. So, moral of the story, don't buy ballons to reduce the risk of a flyaway ballon. I'm serious.
Don't cause any more damage to the already badly damage ocean.
For those who always tell me that they want to learn diving, seriously, don't procastinate any further. You do not know what your are missing and most importantly, we are not getting any younger.
Don't just think about it.
Just go ahead and do it before its all too late.
