Recycling Day again

Tomorrow is recycling day at my housing estate and I have got my two bags ready for collection. Yesterday, I received a letter to inform me that the National Environment Agency has appointed a new refuse collection service provider from 1 April. Enclosed in the envelope was a blue trash bag and a schedule of the year's collection dates. Ironically, the letter and the schedule were printed on separate sheets when they could have been printed back-to-back and that would have resulted in saving reams of paper. The schedule has this caption "MAKE RECYCLING OURWAY OF LIFE". I wonder if they really mean what they say. Many times, we chant slogans without knowing what the message is about. We can be forgiven but I don't think that a service provider has any justification for not practising what they preach especially when they have been appointed by the NEA. I also wonder if my present garbage collectors who have served this area for as long as I have been here will no longer be seen. I hope they still have their jobs serving other areas in Singapore. Life here seems to be about cutting cost and making profits and we in our bid to become the best always in all aspects of our work to achieve this goal, have also cut our ties with our hearts.
