Earth's Tears :'(

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."
