Big big world

I have found two interesting newspaper articles! You should click on them to read them. :) 

Newspaper article from the Straits Times (October 24, 2014) about a
hotel recycling leftover soap for redistribution.

This article's title says it all. Recycling used soap for the needy! I find this to be a really ingenious idea. It's recycling coupled with helping the needy; killing two birds with one stone! Or a soap bar, if you prefer. 

Newspaper article from the Straits Times (October 25, 2014)
about recycling of refrigerants

This other article is about recycling refrigerants, but I shall not elaborate on it. Personally, it's not as interesting as the previous one, but that could be because I do not really see or understand the impact or the process. It is still a worthy cause though, and with a great positive impact!

When I see big firms doing their part to recycle and save the environment, it gives me hope that more firms would follow their lead to be more environmentally friendly and recycle their waste! Referring to the first newspaper article on soap recycling, if all the hotels in Singapore do what this hotel is doing, imagine how much soap can be recycled and not just thrown away! If they expand this activity to reduce food wastage and others, they will not be producing so much waste.

Big firms can do big things with big impacts, I can only hope that they continue to do work that does not harm the environment!
