We live in a house as a family but everyone will get on with their own thing after dinner. So there is no one for me to talk to even if I feel like talking and making some noise.

Another reason will be the hot weather. Nobody can stand sitting in the living room when it’s so hot. We only have air conditioning in rooms. Even then, our electricity bill can run up to RM300+ a month. We only use aircon at night. Sometimes I don’t use at all but I know my parents and my brother switch on theirs like nobody’s business.

I want to do my part for the environment but the heat is getting unbearable. All products contributing to global warming should be banned. When the temperature comes down, we can do without air conditioning again.

I missed my childhood days, I feel like moving to cooler places, go to some country side, away from this material world.

Please don’t treat us like dumb dumb ok? We are not kindergarten kids ok? Even kids know they must throw rubbish in the correct bin, turn off the tap when they’re not using it, switch off the lights when they leave the room etc.

If they want to promote something good, make it something challenging. What about making all supermarkets to stop using plastic bags for a month? Declare a car free day? Nope… these people are too scared to take up this kind of tough challenge. Making people switch off lights is much easier.

Do not call yourself a earth lover just because you switch off the lights for an hour. When the lights are on again, you continue your daily practice of turning on your air-conditioning 24 hours a day, leave your notebook or PC on when you’re not using them, use plastic bags, chemical detergents etc.

Sorry but your campaign failed to convince me your sincerity to do something good for the environment. I believe in doing my own part in my small little way.
