Together we create a beautiful world ^^

I went to my friend's room and found that she is using a last-century laptop. The keyboard is broken so she brought a portable keyboard to replace it. It is so bulky and inconvenient for me. Then I just asked her, why don't you just buy a new one?
What she said made me feel shameful.
She explained the whole process of how to make a laptop. In a nutshell, she wanted to tell me that the ingredients that they use to make a laptop are undegradable and it is very harmful to the environment. Therefore, if the things that she is using are still functioning, she won't throw it away easily. 

I stayed still and looked at her quietly, I suddenly felt that she is very very special. I thought nobody cares about the environment, I mean, who cares?? Who cares if those African children are starving to death and number is hitting 40 billions. Who cares if the Indians in India are selling their kidneys just to get RM2600 to support their family? 

We read news everyday and we can just get this info anytime but who really does care about something which is basically not our business? And she made me feel like.....yes, somebody does care and they are doing their parts just to make some minor changes.


I'm so proud to have her as my friend.
And I promise I will definitely think twice twice twice before I throw or buy something. XD
