Recently,
whenever I put beef into my mouth, my husband keeps saying "don't eat
beef". He believes that it causes global warming. I reply I'm not giving
up eating beef. How many cows does it take to create significant
effect? I don't know. But I know there are people who would only wear
geniune leathers; brand name bags; men wants to buy the new
Ferrari with 2 Mercedes sitting in the garage; eat a lot of meat despite
that (s)he has diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure,
whatever; want another kid because the parents think their spoiled child
is bored. I live in a little city with 3 companies of buses. There is a
time of day when buses chain up like train. People want more, that's
greed. But it's selfishness that makes it a whole lot worse. Having beef
once or twice a week is not asking too much. Besides, beef is
expensive. I am not obsess with it. It is said that one dairy cow
produces almost 10kg of gas every year. Compare to what is it soooooo
bad? How contaminated can one human being be in a year? The greed to
have more luxury, fame, wealth, power, sex ... Perhaps, it would be more
effective to cut down the number of beefaholic people or people who
would produce more dumps than a cow could produce gas.
I
recycle plastic, tins, glass and paper. I don't have a kid. I don't eat
shark fins. I try my best to produce less garbage. I reuse those
plastic bags that wrap magazines. I reuse those glass bottles. I reuse
those magazines paper. I use natural deodorant. I use natural insect
repellents or insecticides. I use rechargeable batteries. I use
energy-saving light bulbs. I never turn my air-conditioner lower than 26
degree celcius.
Don't tell me not to eat beef. Make smokers quit smoking!
