World's Top 10 Polluted Places

The Blacksmith Institute has voted the World's Top 10 Polluted Places. Out of the 10, China, India and Russia each have 2 places voted. The rest of the 4 are located in Azerbaijan, Peru, Ukraine and Zambia. The site comes with Google maps showing a small description of the place.

To many, it may be a good thing that the worst polluted place is not somewhere they live, but bear in mind that if we don't stop abusing our resource, one day our world will become those places. It is just a matter of time.

Chewing gum for Singaporean?

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | 'Virtually non-stick' gum created

Well, it seems like there is a new kind of chewing gum created. It is supposed to be non-sticky and degrade much faster. It is a very good thing as every year, cleaning up chewing gums that costs a lot of money to the government, and those embarrassing moments caused to individuals having chewing gums sticked on their shoes, clothes or even hair.

Currently it is waiting to pass the EU heath and safety tests. If everything goes well, it can be on the market as early as next year.

It may be a very good news to Singaporean, who knows?

Well, I didn't feel anything when it happened.
