i dunno if i had ever copy this entry from my the other blog, but i just wana copy it over again if i ever did.
yes, i am affected this time. i'm moved, in fact. normally i'd be like, chey! another event tt's trying to get the public's attention and get us to think tt the media has a heart also and not just trying to be all cool and earn all the bucks. hmm. there's no donations and stuffs, so i guess this isn't. moreover, this is a world wide event.
yes, the earth is dying. the world's end is coming, and think human race are so ignorant to only realise it now. well, who'd have guessed tt this day would come when we first saw a car driving around the street? (probably the normal reaction would be to go yippee hooray finally smthing tt could take some burden off my feet!) we never though fuels could be used up eventually, did we?
imagine we used to walk on our 2 feet, everywhere tt we had to go. letters took forever to reach its destination, and i serlude to our dearest postmen. to visit a granny in the countryside took months. schooling in the school tt is 5 streets away seems impossible, let alone visiting the other half of the world. invention of cars, of course, seems like a gift from god.
maybe it is, but smhow humans took full advantage of it, or smtimes it seems like, we abuse it. we get our dads to drive us to schools which only requires 20 mins walk. a sudden craving for roti pratas, and we drive our way to jalan kayu. a mood for a spin? think of how much pollution you've caused.
i always feel things are invented for a good cause. light bulbs are the finest inventions. trying to read/study at night with just a little candle seems like hell. too many candles seems like you're doing some rituals and might even take up too much oxygen. light bulbs won't. but again we abuse it and on lights 24/7. we're afraid of the dark. yes, me too. tt's why we are abusing it. my dad used to go to bed at 6 evening 'cause he hated darkness and dogs howls like wolves in the kampong during the night. we? on lights all night, or worse still, forget it off the kitchen lights. you pay only the bills for now, and probably the older you, or even next generation pay with their health. hk's night scenes are always so romantic with all the lights up in the tall tall buildings, but i choose to believe polar bear are trying to juggle their steps through the ices at the other end of the world.
our greatest invention, or probably our best invention in the technology side- our coms. starting from humongous coms to flat screen monitors to foldable laptops, its amazing how technology improves, ain't it? yes, technology improve, but our oh-so-last-season coms pile up in the rubbish chute. chinas have too much coms thrown away that they dunno wat can they do with them. and just fyi, the outer layers are made of plastics, non-degradable. i dun blame them, seriously. why repair when buying a new 1 cost so much lesser and trouble? tt, we have to ask our govrnt to impose a law tt repairing should cost lesser than buying. lol!
and i think contributed the most to the pollution are- working companies. ask the accounts departments. ask them if 1 entry takes up 1 A4 size paper, how many did they use and throw away each month? oops! typo and a reverse entry hatta be done, and how much will tt take up?
so many are suffer for our convenience sake. if i'm a polar bear, i'd feel so not worth it if i know that trees are cut down for ppl who writes 1 word and goes, tt handwriting looks ugly and threw the whole sheet away which causes the ice grow thinner and thinner. imagine if the hens saw kids throwing their eggs around for fun, and leopards saw their partner's skin are torn down for fashion's sake.
god gave us nature, and the ability to create. we created things that slowly destroys the nature. how thankful can we get.
i'll continue to do my part, and just hope everyone will wake up to the reality someday.
