i reached that cos today i had a lot of empty time to think in between classes :D
see its like this. from a marketing prospective, companies know that people in developing and developed countries are now busy, and from there theres an affluence as well as a lack of time which breeds the need and want for convenience.
and of course, companies deliver where there's demand! convenience is created in many ways...delivery services, disposable containers and the such(i quote food related items due to the fact that its the one thing on my mind the most :P).
according to a show i watched once, and this website, China produces and disposes of 45 billion pairs of chopsticks yearly. that's just China. consider the other large Asian countries like Japan, Korea, and even closer to home, all the S.E Asian countries. that's a staggering number of trees taken down daily just so we dont need to bother with the details after our meals.
of course, im not saying i'm innocent. i eat out for virtually every meal. the meals i dont eat out, its instant noodles and that's plastic usage in loads. i could technically buy groceries and cook for every meal, but i think i would incur higher costs for hospital bills and even break a term in my insurance policy(It states, no extreme sports. Yes, my cooking is an extreme sport in its own right).
considering that, its very possible that at any given moment, some crazed eco activist is gonna parasail in the windows next to my computer and hold me ransom with the threat to kill me by oxygen overload :O (have to do that, the other ways of killing is not eco friendly you know. they are eco activists, crazy, but they still want to benefit the environment.)
oh look, a helicopter...and a guy's coming down. eh wait? shit?
