Earth : O... How pity I am!!
The Moon : What’s wrong with you?
Earth : I feel bad, because my body is always hot.
The Moon : And why is your head so bald ?
Earth : Many people cut my hair, so now I have no green hair.
That’s why I feel so hot.
The Moon : O...How pity you are !
Earth : I think, I will die
The moon : Will you end your life ?
Earth : Yes, If the humans on my body don’t care of me
What is the moral that we can learn from the dialogue between the
earth and the moon above?
Alright, if the earth can speak, I believe it will say like that.
And if the moon can speak, it will remind us to keep our earth, but it is
impossible. So I will try to remind you what is happening to our earth?
1. Our forests are getting smaller. Forest is the lung of the
earth. Can you imagine what will happen if we have no lungs? We can’t stay
alive, the same as us the earth will also have a short age if it has no lungs.
In Borneo Island the forests are getting smaller, there used to be a lot of
trees, but there are no tree anymore.
2. Air pollution, now the air contains many poisons from the motor
vehicles and factory waste. We seldom get fresh air, that’s why there are many
people sick. I had a good quote from Robert Orben. He said that “There's so
much pollution in the air now that if it weren't for our lungs there'd be no
place to put it all”
3. Green house effect causes the earth surface step by step become
hot. Green house and earth atmosphere catch the hot temperature from the sun.
Therefore this hot temperature called green house effect.
4. Global warming, the new highlight all over the world. Based on
the observation the temperature of the earth increases and it makes the earth
becomes warm and the ice in the Antarctic melts. World temperatures have risen
by an average of 0.6°C. This small rise has led to glaciers melting, sea levels
rising and rainfall patterns altering.
Indonesia is crying now, because of disaster, big disaster that
made our family and our friend cry. Merapi mountain erupted and tsunami in
Mentawai island. Can you imagine what you will feel if you live close to the
active mountain, and when you play happily with your friends suddenly the
mountain erupted, duar…duar…duar…. And you found your families die because of
the material from the erupted mountain? You don't want it, do you?
Imagine if you live in Mentawai Island, close to the beach. And
when you were enjoying your food or TV program suddenly there were a big and
high waves came to your house whusssssssssssss……and destroyed everything? And
you found you live alone and the others died
And what will happen if you live in Wasior, you just don’t know
what’s happened to your environment, you don’t realize that your environment
was damaged because of economy and social importance, and suddenly water comes
burrrrrr……… and destroyed everything, you lost everything. Come on, feel what
other people feel!. Caring, they need our care. We had a lot of family and
friends in Merapi, mentawai, and Wasior. This is kind of environmental damages
Indonesia has so many teenagers, we are teenagers!! Yes, we are
teenagers. Let’s say “We Are teenagers, and We Care of our Lives and
Environment”
This video shows what I do as teenagers for my beloved country,
for helping our family and best friend in Merapi, Mentawai, and Wasior. Besides
that I ride a bicycle or just walk to reach the close place, because it will
minimize air pollution. And in this video I plant a plant with my friend,
because one plant can influence many things, minimizing air pollution and
making our environment green and cool too.
Environmental damages are not only there but also are around us.
Just see a small example, Bandung is having a problem about how to manage the
rubbish. But there are so many people throw rubbish not in the trashbin but
everywhere, look around you, is there any rubbish? if yes, take it and throw it
to the trashbin as soon as possible when you find the trash. We must make a
good example for people around us because we are student and we are educated
people, right?
Start everything from ourselves, because other people will follow
our way if we show the good example, they will realize it.
So, will we stay in our bed? And wait until the world is ending?
Of course not. We are green generation for the 20th century and we one mission
have to complete, to make a little change for our better earth, do you know? A
little change will make a big effect to make a better earth if many people do
the change. What is a little change that we can do for our earth?
1. Plant a plant, one plant for one man. We can invite our
friends, family, and everyone around us to plant a plant for her or himself, it
will make our surrounding become green.
2. Minimize using a motor vehicle. We need not to use the motor
vehicles if our destination is quite close, we can walk! Walking is healthy!
3. minimize using Air Conditioner, because it will minimize the
green house effect.
4. If we have done the ways above, we are minimizing global
warming guys!
Do the way continuously, because if we always do it, so we care to
our earth, we stay on the earth, so we must keep the earth. We love earth! And
don’t cry our beloved earth! And once again, let’s say “We Are teenagers, and
We Care of our Lives and Environment”. Cool, you are Indonesia Green
Generation!!!!!
"The World we all share is given to us in trust. Every choice
we make regarding the earth, air, and water around us should be made with the
objective of preserving it for all generations to come."
