Christine Tjia

Half way through lunch, I was asked how green I was. Not the clr of my top or my make up but how exactly environmentally frenly am I?

I pondered on it for a sec and formed this excel check list in the thinking clouds abv my head. (oh yes, my brain works in an excel way - whenever possible.)

I kept this vintage rattan bag as a shopping bag but never really get a chance to use. Hmm... deserve half a tick, eh?

I politely decline a plastic bag whenever possible (just so that I can hide my shopping and make myself feel better but hey, since when reasons are important?) One tick there.

But as I kept on thinking, I realized my downfall. I worked in air conditioned offices and sleep in air conditioned room practically every day. So, there it goes, my one and a half tick vanishes into thin air.

Perhaps, I won't be as heroic as my fren, who would hold the rubbish in her hands and walk for two blocks just so that she can threw it in a recycle bin but hey, my awareness is the first step. And I will continue to try and try and try again ...
