The recent scare about Global Warming has converted me into using reusable cotton shopping bags. It had not been an easy task for many initially in accepting this idea because many of us have already been using plastic grocery bags for many decades.
There are countries who are not ready to accept this in their daily life but countries like Britain, Australia and Singapore have shown a steady growth in helping to protect our precious environment. Reusable grocery bags in cotton are strong, convenient as these bags are very light and can be folded and stuffed into your handbags. They come in many different colours, designs of reusable shopping bags, and different in sizes too. Cut down on using plastic bags and get a reusable one today.

Reuse, Recycle your Bags

Karung Guni Man
We were going out for dinner the other day when we were caught in a minute jam at the traffic lights. The cars ahead was moving in a snail's pace. When our car was in front I finally realised why it had been so.
There was a karung guni man on the road!
What is a karung guni man?
A karung guni man is one of those rag and bone men that you can find in Singapore. He uses a hand-held horn to let the residents know he is around and offers to buy your old newspaper or reused or recycled things at a small price. They have little carts and they pushes it around the residential estates.
This karung guni man was holding up the traffic. Nor was he on a tricycle or in a truck. He was pushing his 2 wheel cart on the road. It was quite a sight. I was fumbling for my camera as fast as I could and only managed when we overtook him. So the only way to take is from the little side mirror on the car. Look at him wheeling his cart.
