I’ve been to several hardwares today looking for a puncher for tarpaulin and an eyelet setter…to no avail. Going through several stores (5 or 6 large ones), I found something that got me excited!

I bought myself a tin cutter! Yeah, that’s my new toy. I’m so fond of anything that cuts (scissors and cutters)! I’m also more inclined to prefer tool boxes than makeup kits!

So, what am I going to do with a tin cutter? I have something in mind that has to do with tin cans and recycling.

As we grow old from grade school to secondary to tertiary levels, we find that we have a lot of books that can make up a library and those books will never be used again unless we have someone in mind to give them to.

Storing books not meant to be used is just a waste of space and the use for a specific book is not maximized. I don’t mean souvenirs or collections but textbooks.

Now, with the internet, we can sell textbooks online for others to use. We maximize the use of the trees that were felled to make those books.

Does the portion of the title ring a bell? For some, it might. It originally said, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord,” which is quoted by Joshua before his death.

Many have realized that we have done a lot of destruction to our Mother Earth that time is being cut short for our existence that we might just find ourselves outliving the decaying earth.

Because of that realization, advocacies about recycling emerges here and there. I myself am a recycler. I’d like to do something to have my share on saving, rather prolonging, the greener earth. One thing that can be done by all of us is choose the kind of lighting…one that helps save…like that of Sylvania light bulbs or any of those that makes you go green.
