Happy Earth Day!
The campaign is to promote Earth Day to among Starbucks' customers for all over the world to help reduce the collective environtmental footprint by encouraging them to bring their own cup of coffee and get a free brewed coffee.
I'm one of those who always use my own mug to buy coffee from coffee shop and I will sure join the Earth Day campaign with Starbucks. Not only because I can have a free cup of coffee, but because I know that togther we can help save forests. The more people help promoting and participating the event, the greater current of concern about our earth can be expressed to others.
If you find out about the event too late, don't worry. You can help save the world anywhere and anytime. Perhaps, start by using your own cup to buy coffee; so you don't have to buy abottle of water or get a paper cup of hot coffee. By doing so, it helps reduce the use of paper cup and safe for your health because you don't have a risk to be sick from any contamination possibly found in the container.
This is only one of many ways to make Mother Earth happy :)

Eating for pleasure
Do you eat for living or pleasure? To me, I eat for pleasure. I enjoy finding new places or trying new menus like everyone in MA English class always do at lunch.Tasting is a pleasure that I can find happiness.
What about foods which are strange and expensive, such as Kopi luwak or civet coffee, Alaska king crab, horse meat and whale meat. Some of these are rare and hunting is risky. Human search for new things to satisfy their needs but do we need those things to fulfill our pleasure. Do you think you prefer to spend lots of money for these things? Some people said those are the ways they fulfill pleasure. For me, eating for pleasure means the way of mixing the normal ingredients and the result is deliciousness. Here is the example of eating for pleasure, ice cream.
Ice cream is my pleasure. Eating ice cream makes me feel relaxed even I concern about my weight. Ice cream festival 2011 had been provided during 23 March to 3 April at Central Plaza Rama 3 in Bangkok. Ice Cream Festival was held annually in March-April to celebrate summer and involved a home-made ice cream competition. There were many favors of ice cream from many countries. You will find various ice creams in this event such as flower favors, shrimp favor, chili favor and wasabi favor. I did not have a chance to go there but I am willing I can go next year.
If eating is your pleasure, please mind on your weight. It is really hard to lose it.
