Narrow-minded much.

I was reading the Kuching Catscity Forum and some girl(well, she sounds like a girl) said something and I just don't agree.

"Hmm.. are they going to be selling mostly organic things? How.. unattractive.. Sorry, it's good to protect the environment, but too much hype abt being 'green' and 'organic' is ridiculous.. It becomes PUBLICITY instead of genuine concern."

"The problem wif some ppl here is that they're resistant to change, and unwilling to learn about new facts. Like climate change.. people think it wouldn't affect them. Not in this lifetime, anyway. But they never think of their future generations. Introducing eco-friendly bags will take a long time for acceptance. Brown paperbags like those in the States? "Too heavy for my groceries la", "I paid good money, shouldn't I get one of those nice plastic bags that can last longer?", etc.. That is, ppl find excuses to avoid using new things."

"When I said 'unattractive'.. it means the mall might not sustain long if it sells 'green' stuff. Esp when ppl here are still 'uneducated' about environmental or green issues. They think 'going green' means going vegetarian or eating tasteless food (low salt, low sugar, etc), i.e meat-less."

Girl, you are so thinking in the box. The campaign just started and you're saying it's useless. It is only possible for the campaign to be successful if people like you would show some support. So honey, please don't interpret it as PUBLICITY.

Gosh, people like this get the shit out of me really pisses me off.

However, some smart ones kicked her ass and she surrenders.

"maybe instead of them using paper bags, they will introduce a discount system that gives customers rebate if they bring their own carrying bags? all these can be part of the "Green" campaign.. not only using paper bags.. "

"and the topic is. what would be the problem for Green Height Mall since you did mention they are just doing a publicity instead of genuine concern.

are you supporting their marketing publicity? or are you saying their marketing publicity of "anti climate change" won't work? or are you just saying that they're being silly and their marketing won't work?

As in my opinion, their marketing idea doesn't really concern us. if they fail, its their business lost. not the public. however, with early existence of such idea in good environment Kuching can be a good idea. now we all know where to get our stocks when we want to convert to green people. ^^"

"well. I think its a great idea and it helps the environment. doesn't really matter its publicity.

I was hoping that Malaysia will impose a rule "no more plastic bags in shopping centers". but something more economical and environmental instead like paperbag. Or like in other countries, they encourage you to bring your own reusable durable shopping bag."
