Smart guy, not-so-smart woman

I'm on a roll here... Think I've read the newspaper more in the last couple of days than I have in the last month or two...


Marathon recyclers

This is quite inspirational, even though the guy is a bit too extreme - using used cooking oil to power his car! However, some of the principles and practices, like buying locally and supporting local farmers, is really not hard to do. It's something that I tried to practice while I was living in Australia, but have grown quite slack about it since moving to KL, especially because things like co-ops to purchase in bulk are a rare find, and when you consider the fuel consumption required to get to these places, it doesn't sound like I'm doing the environment any favours after all. Oh, and I don't cook here, so I don't really grocery-shop! Still, reading this article has made me resolve to try and be more environmentally-friendly from now on.


Mum of nine needs help again

Now, not to sound heartless, but if you ask for help from the public, who oblige and help you buy a house, then you light josssticks and candles and leave your children alone in the house, what do you expect? 33 years old and 9 kids. I think that says enough.
