reuse, reduce, recyyyycle
it was a dreadful waste and we wanted to do a good deed. so there we were, the boot laden with old textbooks and notes, driving round and round for a good half hour looking for a damn recycling bin.
we tried petrol kiosks, community centres (but they were closed as it was late at night so i really dont know if they have them at all) and the salvation army (we were donating clothes too. see? we are adamant to do good.) and even contemplated heading for NTU cos that's the only place any of us is sure has a freaking recycling bin.
it's so idiotic.
we probably caused more air pollution with all the driving around looking for a damn bin to do a damn bit of good deed.
im sure it's near impossible to find a bin without the help of the internet.

but yknow, personally, i dont know anyone who keeps themselves updated with the NEA website.
and.
there are so many campaigns to get citizens to try to adopt all sorts of socially responsible behaviour but then once the campaigns are over they're deader than dead and count yourself lucky if anyone can even remember there was ever such a campaign. yellow ribbon? purple ribbon? yellow with pink stripes ribbon? yellow with green trimmings ribbon? can you even tell i made up most of them?
