The statistics are staggering; thank you, 'Otter-Man' Siva (of the National University of Singapore) for this. It seems that I am responsible for 1,330kg of thrash per year! I am now thinking about reducing my carbon footprint, carelessness, inconsideration, and lackadaisical attitude to our Earth. Going digital is one way, yet I love my books and magazines. Perhaps, it is timely to do book-pooling, the way we squat in somebody's car with permission and chip in the toll-fees and fuel cost. I can re-use the plastic bags given in rack-packs. I can make conscious decisions to thrash it, or hoard it (now, that's a debilitating thought). What do you think?
