Bees attack South Africa!!

OMG!! There are bunches of bees attack South Africa!!

Well, have you been watching FIFA 2010? If yes, you must realised that the background sound throughout every match, right? And do you know what sound is that? Bees flying over the stadiums? Nah!! How can be every game has bees flying over?!?!

Just in case you do not know what kind of sound is that, let me tell you here.

The audiences make the noise?

Hmmm..... They are the one who make the noise, but with the thing on their hands. Look like a horn, right? For your information, this horn named vuvuzela. Vuvuzela is the one which make this annoying noise throughout EVERY game!! Don't you feel that it's annoying and have lost the atmosphere of soccer games?

I does!! Even though I am not a big fan of soccer, but I still get annoyed by this sound made by vuvuzela. They even thought of banning vuvuzela for this FIFA 2010, but at the end they didn't because they said this is the "culture" of the host country. Well, as I know, it's not originated from South Africa!! The very first time vuvuzela used was in 1970s by Mexicans. Vuvuzela only became popular in South Africa since 1990s. 

It's freaking 20 years after!!

And you know what? It causes NOISE POLLUTION too!!

Closer look of vuvuzelas!!

How green are you?

Green has became a hot and popular topic which discussed by everyone. Everybody says "go green", "let's save the environment" etc etc...... But, ask yourself, how green you really are?? Below is my guideline to categorize and identify yourself.

LIGHT GREEN

You are aware of the environmental issues around us and started to do something small and simple to show that you are green. For example:

- Cut down the usage of plastic bag

- Cut down the usage of paper

- You have at least ONE recycle bag and use it once a while

- Use public transport once a while

GREEN

You are aware of the environmental issues and have already been doing things on this issue since some time ago. For example:

- You have MORE than ONE recycle bag and use them quite often

- Use public transport more often than you drive

- Try to educate people around you to go green
- Save energy whenever you can (switch off when you are not using)


DARK GREEN


You are totally into green!! No matter whatever you do, environment always comes in the first place. You have already put in efforts for long time. For example:
- You do not use plastic bag at all
- No printing unless it is necessary
- Use public transport only
- Whatever you do, always think about the effects on environment
- You are vegan/vegetarian


Well, you guys must be wondering how green am right?? Honestly, I believe that I am in between LIGHT GREEN and GREEN. Why?? Because I have done enough to be "light green" but still not enough to be "green". So, I'm on my way and becoming GREEN!!!


What about you??

Note: Please be reminded that above are just my opinions and some examples for you.

"3R" + "2R"

What are the 3Rs?? Relax, Revenue and Return?? NO!!

I believe that most of us know what are the 3Rs but do we really work on it? Doing something to achieve the goals and save the mother earth? I believe that most of us are more talking and discussing on the issue than doing something on it.

Now, what are the 3Rs??

Reduce - Reduce waste material

Reuse - Reuse waste material without processing

Recycle - Recycle materials as resources

What are the EXTRA 2Rs??

Refuse - Avoid purchase of environmental burdensome materials whenever possible

Reform - Reuse materials in a different form

So, have you got the idea now?? What are you waiting for?? Let's work together and save our HOME!!
