Sunny - 20⁰C
Before I start off, I would like to ask a simple question.
Did you ever realize that, we, being the most intelligent animals found in the earth, always take things for granted?
In Singapore, we switch on our air-conditioner extensively just for our own satisfaction without considering its consequences to the environment.
In Singapore, we switch on our computer 24/7 without even thinking off the energy wastage.
In Singapore, water supply is something that we think is cheap and hence use without control.
But, when we’re doing out these, did we realize, we’re actually bringing harm to our mother nature, the earth?
We never realize that, the CFC gas released by our air-conditioner has caused the pitiful polar bear getting extinct as their habitats are destroyed.
We never realize that, the electrical supply wasted by us is actually very needed by many poor people around the globe.
We never realize that, the importance of the water to the quenched elephants in the desert is actually meant for survival.
Just because we’re the most intelligent animal, just because we know how to invent things, does that mean that we can deprive the rights of other animals in leading their peaceful life?
In the movie – Earth, we commented that the fox and the leopard were @$%#$, hunting the pathetic yet innocent little sheep! We cursed them as they’re so cruel in killing such a small vulnerable animal.
But did we ever reflect it on ourselves? We, as human being, are worse than a fox or a leopard!
Perhaps we look innocent, do nothing to the animal, but at the same time, we’re silent killer. By means of pollution, we forced the animals to lose their places of living and lead them to the path of death.
Aren’t we more horrible than the predators?
We’re the culprit, yet we never bother to step out to help the environment.
In fact, all we need to do is just simple.
Say NO to plastic bag in supermarket.
Say NO to those CFC-releasing air-conditioner.
Say NO to energy wastage.
Say YES to car pool system.
Say YES to tree planting.
Say YES to recycle.
Isn’t this something achievable?
If yes, why don’t we practice from today?
I heard the urge. I want to save you, Mother Earth.
