Greelections

I don't really care about the elections coz firstly, i'm underaged and thus unable to vote and secondly, I don't know what on earth is happening. I mean I don't even know what DAP and PAS stands for! So, I prefer to wave at the elections as they go by. I've been listening to alot of comments regarding Penang now being under the opposition but frankly, I don't know what that means and what's gonna happen. I'm clueless...

BUT I am certain on one thing about the elections. It's the amount of trash produced everytime from the on going campaigns they use to promote themselves. They print their slogans and faces of the contending politicians on PLASTIC banners and string them all over town. On the walls, on the lamp posts, on the telephone poles and on just about anywhere they could find to display them. They even STAPLE THE BLOODY THING ON THE TREE!!! I am so standing up for tree rights for the next elections.



In addition to the merciless tree mangling, the plastic banners which are probably NON-BIODEGRADABLE will cause pollution! They are a waste of resources AND they get ruined in such a short period of time. ALSO do you even notice the amounts of the banner they put up in some places! It's madness!!! Come on people, it's 2008! It's time to go green! If you can't start with small things like printing banners and posters economically, how are you expected to progress? It's such a waste of time and money to print the posters which are clearly in excess.

ZX: Exactly my point! Right on the dot.

May: No they shouldn't the plastic is also not recyclable. And also when it rains, most of the time, the water gets INTO the plastic and the paper rots! They should use the type of plastic which is biodegradable!
