@jasmine - your cousin in right!! so tell me what is more important to you? could it be watching the next episode of the desperate housewives?! I dont mean to offend you here, just would like to know once you've mentioned it, please enlighten us; and what good does it do to the humanity in the long run?

Jasmine, i'd like to suggest you take a look around a little beyond your world of consumption. Consider people of the poorer countries. Their life is not that fortunate, fair enough; but give time, they are earning more each year and will be consuming even more, perhaps according to the standards set on the west; what happens when each of them will want a large dodge pickup truck and throws every carrier bag away each time after they went shopping?
