1000 Flowers for the Planet - #117 THINK
Some people don’t even do this much –
they wander around the planet doing whatever they please without any
consideration for others or their environment. ‘Thinking’ is something we are
all supposedly able to do. Why is it that so many people are not willing to do
so when it comes to looking after their home – earth? It begins with the
smallest of things. I’ve watched someone screw up a piece of paper and throw it
into the rubbish/trash bin sitting right beside a paper-recycling box. It
astonished me! Yet it is one of hundreds of things I see all around me all the
time. Small acts of thoughtlessness that could make a huge shift in the world
if people decided to THINK about what they’re doing. Think about whether or not
you truly need to make that purchase – do you need it or will it end up in
landfill in a few days’ time? Think about what you’re putting in the
rubbish/trash and whether you could have avoided the waste in the first place.
Think about the way you function at work and whether there is a more efficient
or environmentally friendly way of doing the job. Businesses need to think
about the amount of natural resources they are using and how to be more
efficient in what they do (Quality Improvement??). Think about how you treat
others – we all share this world. Are we looking after each other as well as we
should.
