Bees are disappearing from the world...

Today I bought a copy of Straits Times and found that the horrific myth about disappearing bees that Mark Wharlberg was lecturing on in the film 'The Happening' was in fact, happening.

Sad but true. Bees are disappearing from the face of this earth. The horrible truth in the film Bee Movie could possibly come true. Our earth will no longer have greens, flowers would all be gone and no more strawberries, raspberries, almonds and whatever that needs pollination.

This sad truth is startling and I wish I could play a part in doing something to help. Like how we've developed the habit of having a 'recycling bin' in our home after we came back from the United States. People in the US have such a habit of separating the recyclable stuff from the garbage.

Even when we went to Giant supermarket earlier for groceries shopping, the cashier could not handle our 'green bag' when we shoved those used NTUC and Carrefour plastic bags to her for bagging our groceries in. She missed out scanning one item and if I didn't check the receipt, we would have gone home bagging a free box of Meiji ice cream.

Singaporeans really need to learn from our counterparts in the developed countries on how we can all play a part in recycling. The world is dying. Can't we all do something to help?
