Help Protect The Environment By Burning Less

NEA (National Environment Agency) togther with KMSPKS (Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery) have a campaign to urge the public to “Help Protect The Environment By Burning Less”. Yearly during the seventh lunar month without fail, many Chinese buy paper-made replicas of ‘material’ stuff to burn for their beloved deceased ones, thinking that they will be able to ‘receive’ them in the nether world. As much as it’s a token of filial piety or even love for some, we should rethink about carrying on this custom. Or at least, come out with an alternative that won’t harm the environment that much.
