[Imagine
a vegetarian egalitarian world creating heaven on earth! Kolki]
When my
bi-weekly garbage became two small plastic bags
The pick up
persons were worrying about their jobs!
But when I
gave them just one small grocery bag
They were speechless,
How could you do that?
I asked myself
the same question and found the answer!
It was the
result of my year long minimization effort!
Which helped
me realize how we buy unnecessary stuffs
Only to create
more garbage while hurting inside and outside!
I started with
avoiding all canned and bottled products
Graduating to
exclude processed food all-together
As I gained
confidence mastering cooking healthy delights
Garnishing them
with boiled and raw vegetables elite!
Of course it
was easier being a vegetarian
Composting all
inedible vegetables, fruits, and leftovers
Recycling milk
containers, papers, and plastic bags
All I had as
garbage were used napkins and tissue papers
Along with
packets and labels of modern grocery as bonus
In spite of living
with sixty plus free lovebirds!
I wish I could
do the same with garbages beyond my control!
Like enormously
fat newspapers with ads and coupons
Television ads
that marring news and programs blurring vision
Political
campaigns that embrace gossips wasting billions
Prison
industries that profit from influx of felons
Yellow
journalism which is polluting nations and notions
Amendments to
bi-laws that encourage logging and discriminations
Covert
intelligences that disabling overt democratic institutions
Military
spending that leading us to self destruction
Scriptures
that spreading lies for hegemony and dominations!
