'did you know?'

that with every 450 pairs of disposable chopsticks made for your usage, 250,000,000 (that's two hundred and fifty million!) trees are cut down. impossible? well, try reading a little more up on the newspapers these days. it's all there, read it. well, why not save down on the chopsticks then. spare the trees. save them.

take aways. well, if you can, bring the food home, set it in your own bowls and eat it with your own cutlery! better yet, if you have the time, consume your food there and then. it'll save one plastic bag, one styrofoam box (if not a piece of waxed paper and rubber band) and a pair of chopsticks. if you're gonna consume it at your work place, why don't you just stock up on one set of cutlery? unless your office lacks a pantry to wash them... and to stress more on the cutting down of disposable chopsticks - three pairs of these chopsticks can be used to made one piece of A4-sized paper. which is, a much more practical usage, if you ask me.

all these practices save a hell lot of trees and reduces depletion of the ozone layer! so, why not give up a little of your convenience for the environment, which will in turn affect everyone of us?

oh, and just a little more information - in twenty years time, china is going to cut down all their forests to produce more chopsticks and paper and of course other products too. well, you think it's not gonna affect you? think again. the deforested areas will lead to much soil erosion and thus an eventual toll on our water supply.

I don't know where to begin
I don't know how to get out there, to see you
I don't know where to dig in
I don't how to get in there... to feel you

I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that
Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to

Thinking about the process
(It's been a long time coming)
