Tradition VS Reality

okie this is going to be a naggy post.. u have been warned..

today is e first day of the annual hungry ghost festival and e sight tat i saw when i was walking home was.. a bit sad..

im not realli an environment guy.. but i cant help but wonder, is it time to re-evaluate our traditions. we are at one side facing e issue of environment protection which is a worldwide issue but wat i saw today was a TOTAL different thingy..

not to touch abt e burning of offerings and paper money, (which obviously is polluting e air.. tink abt how everyone is encouraging ppl to take public transport to reduce e air pollution by cars.. but den again its e tradition) we can see "rubbish" (inverted commas as they arent really rubbish if u stand at e tradition pt of view) everywhere.. take out e offerings by e side of e grass patches, u see the paper slip used to bundle e paper money everywhere.. the plastic bags tat contain e paper money and offerings lying ard.. isnt tat littering?? as if e burning isnt harming e environment enough

and if sg with such a small population is alr contributing to so much "rubbish" and pollution, imagine china.. with e majority of e chinese population there, imagine e whole china "smoking"..

im not condemning e tradition, but wats e use of environment protection policies when every month of e year, there is some serious pollution that is going on, and somehow we cannot regulate e practice as it will be viewed as discrimination to the chinese tradition..

is tradition that impt? hmmmm..
