World Environment Day

It is the Day again, to appeal tirelessly to the government, corporate, cities, communities and individual to SAVE THE EARTH in order for us to survive. It is time again for us to sit down, to refresh what we have done, to suggest things forward, to engage any possible partners to carry out actions together etc. This is fantastic except that It is done again and again by and for the same group of people. Are we doing enough?

Although painful to our pocket, the announcement of Government to increase fuel price on 5/6/2008 and subsequently electricity tariff starting 1/7/2008 is pleasing in disguest. This economic instrument of environmental protection measurement rather than the voluntarism will definitely change our way of natural resources consumerism. I can expect people to think twice before buying, to travel with neccessary, to switch on the light or air-con if critically require so, to eat less, to throw little as no more excessive waste are left behind or even to cut down on phone bill etc. Shall we start from today, to set our mission to help the Earth and in helping us?

Happy World Environment Day
