The answer is : Powerpoint.

In a presentation, the PowerPoint files are kept in the presenter's computer, and he or she plugs it to a projector to present his points while the computer goes to sleep halfway or goes into screensaver and bores everyone to death. That is fine. Because you can leave the room.

BUT, somehow people thought that PowerPoint might also be perfectly good tool for file sharing, or to type out jokes in them to share for some reason, so they put a perfect piece of 40kb sized high quality Jpeg photograph into a lousy PowerPoint slide which inflates that size into a 5.5 mb file and also drops the photo quality so it renders the photo useless. And once you start downloading that email you can't stop it. Some people compile that into a .exe, so only Windows users can use it, or they get tagged as potentially harmful downloads.

People are saying the newer versions don't take up much space, but I don't care. For the love of Santa Claus, just stop using PowerPoint, PLEASE!

Only a feeble minded moron would attack another person's ideas by hurling insulting names at a stereotype of identity based on tired notions because they're unable to articulate what they think is wrong with that person's position or recommend what they perceive to be a better idea.

The solution was relatively simple: Go out and buy more plastic bags!

So what's changed : The cost of living.

What's not changed : Earth still receiving non-biodegradable plastic bags.

All these Green Environmental Awareness Campaign should've started with manufacturers reducing unnecessary packaging, and plastic bag suppliers providing cheap, biodegradable plastic bags and start from there.

This is stupid.

Dear Mirians,

Today is the day of infamy. We shall no longer get plastic bags for our grocery (and trash), which left us with no choice other than to buy our own plastic bags to throw trash with - which as we know is still plastic bag.. how ironic. This totally defeats the purpose of "No Plastic Bag Day", puts us consumers at an inconvenience, and effectively puts a tax on our expenses even for trash as well.

"I'm leaving your junk planet for good. Goodbye!"

Don't get me wrong. I'm all up for environmental awareness. And I appreciate that people are doing something about it nowadays - but I don't think this "No Plastic Bag Day" campaign is going to solve any sort of environmental problems in the long run.
