Wise people don’t need managing, foolish people are unnecessary to manage, those who love you don’t require managing, and those who don’t love you aren’t worth managing. This is why I need to be more of ‘me’ rather than trying to conform to others; it also explains why the world is more likely to function properly if I take good care of myself. It doesn’t mean you have to live selfishly, but it does mean you’d better accept altruistic selfishness. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Eco bags are not eco-friendly. In 2007, the eco-bags, which British designer Anya Hindmarch printed, “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” on canvas, sold out 20,000 copies in 30 minutes at a limited edition price of 5 pounds. The project reduced the use of plastic bags by 58% over the next two years in Britain. However, a survey by the British Environment Agency found that consumers used paper bags at least 3 times more to have less environmental impact than plastic bags and used eco bags 131 times more to help protect the environment. In 2018, Denmark also announced a study that indicated people used plastic bags at least 37 times, paper bags 43 times, and eco bags 7,100 times before being discarded to recover from pollution. Yes, the facts that people believe have cheated us all. Materials and consumption are necessary, but people belatedly realized that environmental protection should also consider product use cycles and production. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
