I'm not sure if it's really "advanced" knowledge ? ... I mean ... you throw away soap suds, but don't drink them eh .... ... and best of all ... the quarry'...

the Bear SG

actually, i've always wondered.. are leeches edible? Razz

if so, what do they taste like? Razz

av98m SG

shro cat, teachers and principals who go for lectures/courses etc also litter the venues with used tissue, empty water bottles, sweet wrappers etc. I kid you not. Neutral

That reminds me of the twits who feed monkeys and mishandle wildlife at Chek Jawa. Mad

I wonder what's happened to the standards of parenting and schooling in non-academic areas.

the Bear SG

hey.. whatever happened to the mantra:

take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints

Fatum SG

well ... they make a great fishing bait ... so I reckon they'll be edible ? ... Laughing

SpeedStar SG

Social eitquette.

In USA, its very common for people to clear the food from the tables and empty it themselves. So the next group of people using the tables has at least a empty table to start with.

Its social responsibility.

I can never tell you how at home I am in USA. Cos I am the kind that can hold onto rubbish till i see a rubbish bin.

the thing about chek jawa REALLY pisses me off

you guys will not believe what the families with their badly brought up children were doing there Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad

elindra SG

How do you expect them to clean up when they have maids at home and parents to clean up after them Laughing

The sad thing is they do not realise how fragile the eco-system is in these nature destinated areas and that once destroyed... it takes lots of time or impossible to get back.

Fatum SG

chek jawa ..... sigh .. Neutral

I used to roam there long years ago ... and when i first saw that newspaper coverage a few years back my heart just sank ... I knew it'll never be the same ever again ....

ditto labrodor park, the seashore where the new jetty is used to one the last spot on the singapore mainland where you could find corals on wading from the shoreline ....

it's all gone now ....

now I'm not being elitist or anything, but I'll divulge my nature spots, in singapore or overseas, be they fishing holes, diving spots, camping grounds, hiking trails etc ... only to those that I know will take care of them ...

people who aren't properly educated about the environmental impact of their activities will end up destroying the sites that they visit ... Confused

the Bear SG

you guys heard of this saying?

"A paradise found is a paradise lost"

Kuali Baba SG

It's true, sadly...Sipadan isn't what it used to be.
