Let's go green..(For your wedding)

It's school holidays...
And it means lots of wedding invitation...
Including mine, just three weeks ago...
Emmm... May be I don't have to count that...
Coz that's only a solemnization party after all...

Eh, back to the topic yarr....

When attending a wedding ceremony, we will get something as a token of appreciation from the host...
Usually, it includes the bunga telur and some traditional cakes...
But nowadays, more and more unique door gifts have been chosen by the pengantins...

It's good to have those gifts, but the issue is...
What would you choose to put in all the gifts..?
Plastic @ paper bags...?

For some people, that doesn't matter...
They rather choose to put the door gifts inside plastic bags...
Because plastic bags are cheaper and easy to handle...

To me it's a big issue...
May be because I'm in the biological and conservation field...
These small things will be my concern as I know how much they can do damage to our planet...
Did you know that plastic bags need 10 - 20 years to break down..?
There're also some source stated that it may take a millenium to break down the plastic bags...
But the truth is, whether it 10 years @ 1000 years, plastic bags still take a log time to be degraded...and before the time comes, our land and oceans may be flooded with all those plastic bags...

Do you know that most of the plastic bags we throw will end up in our oceans...?
And do you know that there are some cases where leatherback turtles were choked after swallowing plastic bags (which they mistaken as jelly fish)...?

We can help change that...
By reducing the use of plastic bags...
Not only for our wedding...
But also in our everyday life...

So...?
What do you choose...?
The choice is yours...
Make you decision wisely...
