Change your habits to reduce climate change

Humans are discarding more wastes than ever before. According to research by World Bank, the world produces 3.5 million tones of solid wastes a day, 10 times the amount a century ago. Landfills and wastes dumps are filling up & the World Economic Forum reports that by 2050 there would be so much plastics floating in the oceans that it would outweigh the fish. Micro-plastics are also getting in our food chain and into our digestive systems.

Global greenhouse gas emissions in 2030 could be between 13 billion and 15 billion tonnes more than the level needed to keep global warming within 2 degrees Celsius this century, a United Nations report estimated on Nov 27, 2018.

Our education system has failed to change habits in our students and our outreach activities are ineffective to change mindsets of our population. When most people are time-strapped and addicted to their mobile devices, who really has the time to stop & think before acting?

Talk is cheap.

So is pledging verbally or via mobile devices to reduce one’s carbon footprint. To really save our planet, mindsets, habits and behaviors have to change.

Everyone should practice 5R (Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repair). Everyone should consume less and stop buying stuff in single-use plastic. Everyone should avoid ‘tabao’ (package) or order-in catered food. Stop buying those bubble-teas in single-use plastics and straws. These drinks are bad for health and generate lots of plastic wastes.

We cannot always do great things. We can only do small things with great love (for the environment).

Take action today to change your habits!

Life without problems is an illusion

It’s so easy to poke fun and laugh at other people’s problems. Rarely, we laugh at our own. This is human nature.

As a cartoonist, I’ve to be bold, unreserved and daring. In real life, I’m just the opposite. I’m shy, quiet and one who maintains a low profile. Some say such person type has a dual personality. This is why my ‘horror-scope’ is GEMINI.

Living and coping in an unequal society

Original artwork is available for sale. Contact the artist privately. 

Since the beginning of civilization, social and income inequalities exist in every era and society. People with power and authority make the most money. This is the reason why so many have had tried all ways to get into the elite & upper class. But academic grades don’t guarantee one’s pathway to upper class or success in life. Success really depends on how one’s strength is used to the full potential without exploiting others for gains.

In my opinion, there will always be someone bigger, better, faster and richer than me. This is life. It’s pointless to compare ourselves with others but to live a healthy life within our means and be happy at whatever we choose to do or not do. When you have some spare cash, just treat yourself or your friends to some good nutrition food & enjoy the moment without worry. When your cash-flow is tight in the month, just eat simply till the next cash in-flow comes. We have to learn to be resilient and adapt to our situation in the current harsh living and crowded environment. But such critical skill is not taught in school or at home. Sigh!
