Be crazy, be silly, be weird, be whatever. Because life is too short to be anything but happy. Plus the world is coming to an end, so even more reason to do things now. Ok, maybe it's not coming to an end tomorrow or even in 50 years. But 100 years seems more possible. And I'm not some apocalyptic weirdo standing with the banners in the middle of the street, trying to convince you to buy a place in one of secret dungeons that will protect you from the meteorite. This is not how it's gonna to happen. How exactly? Head to my stories to read about 3 out of 6 "plagues" (another 3 coming next week) that we brought on ourselves by exploiting the Earth to its maximum. At least that's what scientists think. . I wrote before that I was horrified by the amount of plastic that was being used in Malaysia. It's obviously not only in Malaysia, probably in many places in the world. It's just I live here, in my little world, learning about the environment, spreading this "knowledge", using as little plastic as possible, and over there, there is a whole other world where either people don't realize or don't care or both. And tbh after what I saw, I think we already lost the war with plastic. And all those "plagues" will happen. . James Lovelock, the "father" of environmentalism said the time when we could introduce real changes had passed 40 years ago. What we do now is simply to make ourselves feel better. But he is optimistic. So am I. Ok I’m not, but will still be sharing eco friendly tips and always carrying a tote bag, using metal or biodegradable straws, carrying reusable water bottle, having coffee in reusable coffee mug…and please, please YOU DO THAT TOO. . 📸@trafffel —– #penangmalaysia #malaysia #malaysiatrulyasia #penang #buddhisttemple #visitmalaysia #visitpenang #kekloksitemple #ecofriendly #environmentallyfriendlytuesday #environmentallyfriendly #saveourplanet #noplastic #earthfocus #traveldeeper #bbctravel #traveliseverything #girldiscoverers #girltravels #travelstroke #girlpowertravel #traveldiary #podrozniczka #kochampodroze #polishgirltravelling
