In my earlier post, "Theme for Blog Action Day - ENVIRONEMENT", OCT 15, 2007 is the Blog Action Day and the theme of the day is ENVIRONMENT. Have we ever ask ourself how much damage we have made to our environment ? I m sure many of us (especially within our Chemical & Process , Oil & Gas communities) are aware of the "contribution" by human to environment and nature. If you are one of them who don't ware of this, i am strong requesting you to take a little of your effort... continue reading...Environmental issue is one of the hot topic recently and a lot of efforts have been taken / are taking to minimize and slowdown the impact and damage to our environment. You can appreciate this by understand the 2007 Noble prize (Chemistry) winning theme is ENVIRONMENT. Many of us may take this issue easy that this type of "biog" things, we leave it to those who has "big" vision, environmentalist, etc, This is just a "politic" topic and enjoy by many politician. Ultimately giving yourself a statement - Nothing much i can do.
Guys !...take a step backward. There are many things we can do although we are just nothing to anything. Following are something you can do :
- Spread the environment awareness - Blog about it, inform you junior / kits, friend around you. Or minimum inform them to read this post. Or Copy contents of this post to forum, etc and create a link to this post.
- Practise it - if you have not practised any of measures here, please practise at least ONE. If you have practised some, please practise EXTRA one. If you have practise ALL here. Congratulations ! Please provide ONE more extra measure in the comment.
- Segregation of rubbish - Please segregate rubbish into a few categories such as non-biodegradable type (plastic, polymer, etc), biodegradable type (organic stuff, food, etc), reusable/recyclable bottle / aluminum cans, etc.
- Proper Disposal of Electronic waste - Used batteries collect and sent to licensed disposable unit. NOTE : I would like to collect information on this type of collection center throughout the world so that it can be made known to everyone. If you aware any of this unit within you area, please drop me a note (Email) or leave it in comment column.
- Recycle cellphone - Further reading... cellforcash - Recycle Your- Cellphones
- Use Mechanical watch instead of Electric powered watch
- Minimise consumption of packing paper - When you buy stuff in the store, most store will pack your purchased stuff in a plastic beg. f you only buy some light and small stuff, please do not ask for / return the plastic beg to the store owner (NOTE : remember to keep your receipt as proof of purchase.)

DUMPLING FESTIVAL for Chinese community...
The Dumpling Festival (or Duan Wu Jie) commemorates the death of Qu Yuan, a patriot and the first great poet in Chinese history, who lived during the Warring States period. "Qu Yuan" lived in the Chinese Kingdom of Chu and served the government with integrity as Minister of State. He was disturbed by the corruption and by the court intrigues of many courtiers who resented his talent, popularity and sense of righteousness. One version said that other officials convinced the Emperor that Qu Yuan was corrupt, that his plea for reforms be ignored and had him banished from the Kingdom.
For years, he wandered the countryside composing poems expressing his patriotism and love for the people. Either as an act of despair or an ultimate protest against the corrupt government, Qu Yuan threw himself into the Mei Lo river ( in today's Hunan province ) on the fifth day of the fifth month in the year 278 B.C. Qu Yuan opted to commit suicide rather than lose face and honour by serving a corrupt government. He composed two famous poems known as "Ai Ying" and "Huai Sha" before jumping into the river with a large stone tied to himself. Grief-stricken local fishermen who witnessed Qu Yuan's desperate act, tried to save the patriotic poet. They sailed up and down the river to look for him and desperately thrashed the water with their oars and paddles to scare off the hungry fishes which might eat his body. To commemorate the patriotic man, the fishermen and rural town folks threw cooked rice dumplings wrapped in silk or banana leaves, into the water in order to appease the spirits of the river on his death anniversary. These rice dumplings are called "Tsung Tze" or "Ma Chang".

Uniting with internationally recognized institutions and companies for better outreach is a crucial component in safeguarding World Heritage. Every year, the World Heritage Centre holds a Partners' Day, inviting selected partners to highlight their involvement with UNESCO in providing technical expertise, training, resource mobilization and communication for World Heritage.
The focus will be on the latest partnership activities and to answer the question: "Why are partnerships important?". Our goal is to address crucial elements of partnership development in a themed format. The three themes will highlight partners' involvement in providing technical expertise, capacity building for World Heritage and enhancing communication and how these benefit World Heritage conservation.

WORLD LAUGHTER DAY !
"Laughing is the birthright of humanity, and humane living requires daily bouts of good-hearted laughing."
World Laughter Day was first observed on January 11, 1998, in Mumbai, India. In each subsequent year, more and more events have been held around the world. This coincides with the phenomenal explosion of interest in laughter therapy and the amazing powers of laughter. Says Wilson, “Regardless of the reason you laugh, the primary purposes of laughter have to do with reducing the terrible effects of stress, and connecting with other people; laughter plays a huge role in maintaining relationships. Actually, we need laughter more now than ever!”
The world is so out of balance that it needs to lighten up and laugh more in order to maintain perspective. This day has been set aside to send a message to get more people laughing, urging the world to lighten up! "Systematic exposure to true mirthful laughter in a supportive environment," says Wilson, "can contribute to world
peace by fostering attitudinal healing." The world is so out of balance that it needs to lighten up and laugh more in order to maintain perspective.
