I came across this article from ST Online and was fuming after reading it. The article titled “Not every subscriber ‘entitled’” was about not everyone being entitled a telephone directory. In this article, they interviewed a financial controller who had been collecting the telephone directory for almost 10 years but failed to receive his own copy this year, the reason, Global Yellow Pages printed less copies and the community centre ran out of hard copies one. So he mentioned that he was forced to collect a CD instead AND he said
‘I’m used to the hard copy. It’s more convenient to use. If you use the CD, you have to switch on the computer, load the CD in before you can do your search.’
Hello uncle, I’m actually entitled the telephone directory but just couldn’t be bothered to collect mine. WHY? We can simply get the telephone number that we want via our phone, laptop or even a phone call. You want to kill the trees just because you doesn’t want to load your computer? Its the 21st century and everything is going paperless to help save the earth and environment and I supposed this uncle should be collecting his bills every month in his own drawer which he can take it out once in awhile to appreciate it.
It makes me wonder, when can we start to be more responsible? To save the earth by using less paper and recycle more things around us?
