Dandelions in Blossom

Wednesday, March fourteenth, two thousand and seven

According to a news web site, Dandelions bloomed almost two months ahead of schedule in Japan. And birds and butterflies made early appearances as well due to El Nino, some experts said. This winter must be the warmest on record for many parts of Japanese archipelago. Now that I'm a member of recycling industry, I can't help but watch the current condition of global environment. But I don't have such a big power to help the planet, so I've been thinking what to do recently. However, I haven't come up with a good idea so far. Anyway, I'll do the things I can do now. Let me work hard and recycle tons of chemical materials in my factory.

Ah! I have to watch my favorite TV program right now! Eh? I'm wasting lots of electricity? Could be... But I actually watch TV for only two hours a week! On the other hand, I spend a couple of hours a day in front of my PC, though. :) I might be a person who is a bad influence on the Earth...
