A random thought when I was doing my readings. About Privacy laws. It feels as though I'm in NUS Law School now, there's so many privacy laws I read and I don't even know the difference for most of them. Now I kinda feel the pain of a Law student. Though they must have suffered x1000 more than me, since I only had to read this LENGTHY law artcle (hopefully only once) and they had to do tremendous amount of them.


Okay back to the topic.


I was wondering whether it's possible for everyone to recycle properly. For instance, newspaper. Though we have proper bins for recycling but still, we see people dumping them everywhere. In the dustbin. Into the incinerator. Gone forever, and contributes to the ever increasing amount of greenhouse gases.


Anyway I was thinking of this idea, like a newspaper collection in every town. Since everyone is so profit-motivated and think that Gurung-Gunis or whatever they are spelled are getting more stingy each day, maybe the people at the collection can pay back 50% of the amount of how much we paid for the newspaper.


I tell you, if this becomes reality, everyone will sure chiong to the station everytime their storeroom is filled with newspapers. Never mind the weight. OH, I forgot. The heavier the better.


Because we don't know whether the people who collect for old newspapers to recycle really recycles it. So isn't it great to have a central newspaper collection station?


And just when you are thinking, "Yeah right. 50%?! It will never happen lah." You are right. You are truly a modernised person.


Since the Industrial Revolution in 1960s we willingly gave up on the environment for money and profit purposes, since when did we give up our money willingly for environmental purposes?


When will we ever be doing the latter?


Sadly, it's still highly doubtful right till this day.


Don't mention bullshit like Kyoto Protocol. I bet it's desperate measure. If possible, this would not have existed at all. When we do something environmental, there must be always economic reasons behind it rather then genuine enviornmental reasons.


(And as i said it's truly a random thought. Don't ask why I'm such an environmentalist today. Though I remember once, I threw a tin can into a nearby dustbin when the recycling bin was only 100m away, my friend exclaimed, "THE TREES ARE CRYING!" Though I laughed at her silliness because trees don't produce tin, a gush of guilt came over me, seriously. Or rather, "THE QUARRY IS CRYING!" XD)
