Earth Day was started in 1970 as a day of
education about environmental issues.
Of course we know lah but now is not the time for environmental
issues but survival during this pandemic.
We are now helping many sectors to survive. I tell you what we
have been doing.
Every year, we generate at least 7 Million tons of solid wastes,
744,000 tons of food wastes, 930,000 tons of plastic wastes so that those in
the waste management sector can keep their jobs. We are ordering more food
deliveries to increase plastic-wastes and to help those gig-workers making a
living. We use 430 Million-Gallons of water/day or 141 litres of water/day/person
(94X1.5L-bottle) so that workers in water resources sector still have their
jobs.
We use 8,361 KWh/Capital/Year of energy so that our workers in the
energy sector continue to flourish. We will be using more and more energy in
the future as we are going GREEN with many devices. We throw at least 168,000
tons of textile/leather a year so that our retail sector still can make big profits
to pay their landlords and their workers.
Finally, we aim to be a ZERO Waste Nation and are waiting for someone
to invent a super-advanced technology that could dissolve all our wastes in
split-seconds! Then we don’t have to worry anymore about our landfill capacity going
to be full by 2035.
We are ‘working’ very hard to survive this pandemic, then look at environmental issues next. Right now, no money means no time for other issues!
