Green Shopping

In the supermarket where we regularly go to, Green shopping is being seriously promoted. Durable and Reusable shopping bags are being sold and whenever shoppers come using such bags, rebates or discounts are given. Other department stores are yet to follow but I hope that it will happen soon. Shopping bags create tons of trash every day because of disposable plastic bags. Drains are constantly being clogged because of it and floods happen as a result.

The Fierce French

Enjoying my new plasma mounts in my living room, I leaned back and watched the news reports claiming that a French agent escaped from his Somali kidnappers and killing three captors in the process. The story reminds me of the fierce French military who fought back whenever pirates attacked ships bearing their country’s colors. The French foreign legion is another symbol of French courage and fierceness. All in all, a lot of people are probably right when they claim that one should never mess with the French.

Riders have been introduced to include various forms of medical reimbursements, sick bay allowances, etc. Our environment today is much different from what we had yesterday. It had become more dangerous and most of all expensive. Therefore, there is nothing but preparing for huge eventualities. Indeed, prevention is much better than cure.

Slower Bandwidth Caused By New Online Gaming Consoles

One can probably blame the XBox for a much heavier bandwidth consumption in the world. However, the benefits and potentials that it unleashed is probably worth every inconvenience that it caused the internet world. Technology is the driving force in this world’s economy and in the search for perfection, inconveniences encountered along the way is nothing compared to the foreseen benefits brought by development.
