Save the Earth(?)

Still remember the concert that stretched across 7 continents on 07/07/07? That was a call for people to "save" the Earth. And now I am blogging about "saving" the Earth.

Nope, I am not trying to "promote" "saving" the Earth, but I am here to ask :

The concert ended with rubbish, literally and figuratively.

Tons of rubbish left behind by viewers of the concert was so much helpful to "save" the Earth. Imagine the monoxides produced by incinerating them. I think the Earth liked it very much.

No doubt, the concert did awaken many people to the "importance" of "saving" the Earth, but is it enough? NO!

Its very common to see recycle bins around Singapore nowadays. However, how often do you see people using them? OR, how often do you see old people digging cans and papers from these bins for their living? OR, how often do you come across a fully filled bin; with the excess just being thrown at the sides of the bin? OR, have you ever seen them catch fire? OR, (you get what I mean).

"Save" the Earth? Great effort by the civilians and government.

Take public transport, that's the way. Yet, more and more trucks and lorries are moving around the roads of Singapore to transport building materials. Development: another great way to "save" the Earth.

If you did pay some attention while you were on the train, you would have noticed how many places are building buildings (English, weird -.=). Beyond Boon Lay Station (2 upcoming stations and a LRT system), Boon Lay station (former bus interchange), Lakeside station (Lakeshore condominium), Chinese Garden station (along the lake), Jurong East Interchange (IMM, infront of IMM, somewhere around International Business Park), Clementi station (Tradehub 21, former bus interchange), Dover station (SP), Buona Vista 'Interchange' (MRT Circleline).

Wow! All the way from beyond Boon Lay straight to Buona Vista, you have trucks, cranes, bulldozers, humans, .etc giving away 'gases'. Not to mention other places like Somerset, beyond Marina Bay (future), IR, Sentosa, any other places with MRT Circleline, future MRT Downtown line, (I can't finish mentioning them).

Again, "saving" the Earth? Great effort by the government and developers.

The importance of money, still overrules the need to save the Earth, for now, as shown by the government.

So, why waste your efforts to "save" the Earth? Only to be overpowered by developments.
