Encouragement

For the longest time, I have TRIED to bring reusable cloth bags when I go shopping. And for the longest time, I kept forgetting to bring the bags, or left them in the car, or ran short of the things. Lately, with everyone jumping on the bandwagon, i find myself so well-stocked with reusable bags that I can leave some in the car, stuff one in my handbag and have extras to give away things in. It's nice not to be the "weird" person who refuses to take plastic bags and spoons. All my regular stall owners are used to my refusal to take plastic spoons. Some ask where my container was if I don't bring one to tapau in. I've seen some guys bring their own containers too, what a comforting sight! It's true that change can be hard to implement, but as long as it's for a good cause, we should encourage it. Here's to a safer, cleaner planet. Amin...
