There is a lot of discussion over the blog sphere and most probably at the coffee joints and offices about the new Brand Oman logo. Some say, its really not that bad, some says it sucks.
Personally I do not like the logo, but its not that bad. I mean its a logo, and we have to live with it. Maybe they could have a public voting on this before making it public? It would create publicity and the right type of vibe. But then, voting is not common in this part of the world !
Among all the blogging and commenting, I see something else. People are blogging, voicing their opinions. People are reading blogs, forums. Which is good. Ain't it ?
Moving on,
I recently picked this up from Shell.
Its great what ESO is doing in raising awereness about recycling and using recycleable materials.
So what should we look at as our model for the future?
I would suggest Japan !
A picture of a japanese recycling instruction chart. Got from somewhere on the web.
The Japanese are strict about their recycling. They have been doing this for years. And to me it looks plain crazy. But the fact is its efficient and it works. They ask the citizen (ask by law and fines), to wade through their trash and seperate into catagories. Then to put certain catagories out on certain days !
Here are a few links:
This is from a blogger from The city of Yokohama:
It old, but they have been following that for years now. Its even gotten more complicated.
