Besides, why would you want to take the chance? A very expensive and foolish long term gamble if ever there was one.Cyberfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15008145321668056288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23144980.post-16830841245362766932008-10-17T22:41:00.000+08:002008-10-17T22:41:00.000+08:00lizza: yeah, floods suck big time mike: That's tru...lizza: yeah, floods suck big time <BR/><BR/>mike: That's true... there's not one specific thing we can blame it on, but the latest trend in the weather/climate is rather worrying. That said, my journey to work is not the best thing in the world. If it's not bad weather, it'll be some broken down vehicle or a crazy traffic jam. Nevertheless, life goes on :)<BR/><BR/>travis: now that you mention it, it does sound like it has something to do with the financial crisis, which reminds me that it is another worry that I will have to address in a bit :)Terra Shieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00039195435967190497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23144980.post-4833940245968354572008-10-17T09:13:00.000+08:002008-10-17T09:13:00.000+08:00When I read the post title, I though it was about ...When I read the post title, I though it was about the financial crisis!

If I had to deal with that everyday going to work, I think I would just as soon not work! =P<BR/><BR/>As for the cause, well i'd have to deffer to the others who point to local conditions and attitudes about waste/trash and the environment.

(which makes me believe that they think that global warming is a non-issue. The reason why I brought it up is mainly because of the crazy weather we've been having over here.<BR/><BR/>Oh wow, pouring milk in the garden can be detected from miles away? That's amazing. <BR/><BR/>I have seen things that shouldn't be there floating in the river :) I think the people here could learn a few things from Australians...<BR/><BR/>anita: I did a subject on the environment... we do have laws and stuff, especially for hazardous waste.

Also, what is the government doing to create awareness of the environment we live in, and what are they doing to enforce the related laws, if we have any?Little Miss Curioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617186446330338671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23144980.post-49527768154020929452008-10-15T19:08:00.000+08:002008-10-15T19:08:00.000+08:00I'm still questioning this whole global warming th...I'm still questioning this whole global warming thing. There are too many valid arguements both side of the fence.. but thats not to excuse the poor state of the river system between your home and work.<BR/><BR/>It is very different here. We have very, very strict laws re: rivers, streams and lakes. I once studied a process that involves leading simple chemicals back to the source; did you know that if you poured milk into your garden it can be lead back to you from miles away?
