I’m wearing stuff made out of petroleum! :o
But anyways, yeah, the petroleum shortage problem might not be felt at the moment *apart from the rising oil prices*.
Recycling might be good. But frankly speaking, I don’t see where I can do so anywhere in Melaka, apart from MMU..*yes, those colored bins.*

Pardon for double-posting, but I forgot there’s no edit button T.T
So anyways, I guess most people don’t really give a damn about these petroleum issue mainly because they “think” that they won’t be alive anymore by that time anyways, so why bother? Just let the young ones figure it out.
At least I’ve heard such comments above from a group of adults, although not about the petroleum issue, it does gives out the general thought of such matter.
With that said, 80% of my stuffs are petroleum-based. Shame on me.

No shame dude. We don’t have a choice. However, what we do need is awareness enough so that when oppurtunities arise not to continue this dependency of petroleum, we take it.
As for the evil adults who don’t care about the future generations, it’s just too bad that so many of them are idiots. We’re becoming adults – let’s not be like them.
