ClayGo: Clean As You Go

I thought I would never be posting this because it may appear as a show-off of one of my positive attitudes.

But the gravity of my concern to other people's behavior toward the environment is increasingly becoming unacceptable.

I am with high hopes, that through this post, I can at least raise awareness about proper decorum in dealing with our wastes, even as simple as putting your empty plastic bag of Chips (chichirya) down to the right bin or as responsible as doing a ClayGo - clean as you go, whenever appropriate.

For the past few months, I have been practicing ClayGo - which for no reason at all (prolly an inner force inspiration?), I decided to do it whenever I can.

These are some probable causes that I may have considered subconsciously in doing so:

• I felt the need to help the crew (say, I am dining in at McDonalds or Jollibee - I can see the labor of waiting tables and the countless hours of standing serving customers and cleaning up the mess left by diners. (By default, it was their job to do so, but ain't it wonderful to strive in helping them? And the sense of "pride" cleaning or putting the table in peace is just worth it"
• As a courtesy to the next diner who will use your table. You may relate that at times, fast food chains are queuing also, and the crew are so busy that the next customer sat inplace to the unprepared/uncleaned table already. In that case, if you ClayGoed - you have extended the courtesy and politeness to your fellowman. It may be unseen and no gratitude was given - but i'm sure - it will come back to you ten folds.

In a bigger picture - I was browsing through my Twitter Feed earlier and found this viral image captured by a Wildlife Photographer - I need not explain further...

It's quite saddening - that inappropriate throwing of waste can have a magnified impact even to the deepest of the sea - as innocent and as vulnerable as a seahorse.

So, humankind - let's unite and make waves to practice responsible dealing of our garbage. Instilling this to your immediate family and or if you have the power of influence to a group of people or team - please relay the message.
