Received this a few weeks ago? Bet you did.
Upon seeing this sheet of green plastic, I thought to myself: Who on Earth is trying new stuns for "saving" the Earth? But I am surprised to know that I am totally wrong. This has nothing got to do with being eco-friendly. It merely asks you to be creative.
You want some numbers go green? I give you green numbers. (I did make the numbers green. But it was already green in the first place.)
I received it through the purchase of The New Paper. Estimated 110000 copies are sold everyday. Accompany 1 sheet of plastic for each purchase. Remembered reading on the papers that this sheet of plastic can be obtained through some stores island wide. Just imagine *number* of copies of this green plastic being given out. Definitely enough weight to crush you to death.
Yet, how many people can you get to submit an entry for this contest? 100? 1000? Surely not 10000? Yes. Where to all the extra plastics go to? Maybe like mine, still sitting in the house. Or could already have been thrown away.
These plastics used could well supply us enough free plastic bags on Wednesdays for at least a month or two. Yet we throw them away cause there is only one use for this plastic: that is to take part in the contest. And even if you did take part? You discard it after the contest ends.
Enough. Creativity is more important.
