We bear the responsibility to protect and ensure the sustainability of future generations. You might ask : 'Why do I even care? The Earth is deteriorating, so?' And THAT'S, actually the MAIN problem that humans are facing now
- lack of awareness,
-do things which only convenient them the most
-does not care what's happening in the surrounding with that ever growing 'TAK APA' behavior.
or better yet if I put it in this way, nihilism. The total rejection of religious and moral beliefs, very thought of life as a meaningless ordeal and it has nothing to be proud of. If they don't cherish their own life, would they care about their surroundings, or even to take the challenge to make the world a better place?
That is a rotten and unhealthy ideology that should be vanquished at all cost!
Ok, coming back to the central idea of my post today.
In recent decades there are frequent drastic and extreme climatic changes. Yes, I'm well addressed that there are climatic changes and global warming even in Ice Age! but the frequency of recent storms and unpredicted weather behaviour is exceeding the normal data as recorded ages ago.
Picture showing the presence of snow in the Mazatzal Mountains. Which is a DESERT.

this is a link showing the severe hailstorm in Oklahama, yes hailstorm is nothing new for us, but hailstorm THIS size?
anyway, there was a hailstorm in malaysia[WHICH IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL] but too bad I cant find the footage of it.. =(
While all these climatic events are taking place, most of us just shrug it off and say its just another normal day in mother nature's cycle. Because this would be the most convenient and APPARENTLY most logical answer to those weird phenomena.
That is why we should not do things that are convenient to us, instead, do things that contributes to not only yourself, but to others, and of course in a larger scale, the world!
Do not feel disempowered or overwhelmed when global crisis and seemingly immense and complicated trouble occurs, we, as human always has the unlimited potential raging in us to surmount against the obstacle!
My own quiet little human revolution.. [which i hope it can somehow spark some thoughts and be somewhat inspiring or motivational!]
-One of my greatest hope in school, is to ban the usage of plastic spoons!
the 1st step im taking is to use metal spoon every time i'm having my meal there, and try to tell the others to do the same too. Seriously its a sore to the eyes to see the rubbish bin full with plastics, plastic spoons and all others non-recycleable, non-reusable items when it can all be avoided.
-To use reusable containers or tiffin carriers instead of plastics or polysterene.
For this case, I have to give my highest salutation to a middle age woman from which i heard from my friend. [sry, don really noe the biography bout this woman.] she minimize the usage of plastic in her life by boycotting anything that has a lot of plastic for its packaging. A quote from her, 'we are able to live through out the years without plastic, so, why not?'
in other words, WE WONT DIE FROM INSUFFICIENT OF PLASTIC!!
this non-degradeable item is consuming a lot of spaces for garbage disposal purposes, plus, the weak mentality of malaysians that do less to segregate recycleable items and pile up everything in only one rubbish bin.
ok if i am to list down all the things that im doing and i wish to do, this will be a post of words having avogrado constant...
wat im trying to tell u guys is that, PLEASE, start from your own, one, can DEFINITELY make a BIG difference.
A human revolution can ultimately change the destiny of the WHOLE MANKIND. Starting from self, to family, community, nation, worldwide, and finally, to the whole mankind..
This is what President Ikeda, a scholar, philosopher, educator, author and worldwide renowned great man quoted.
Start today! switch off light when its unnecessary! Try to avoid the usage of any electrical appliances that consumes high energy! [high energy demands more energy input and more heat is contributed] remember, you are not alone.. you might be pondering what all this is about? What can I contribute to the world if I'm the only one doing all these things? You might even wonder upon the thoughts that you will be labelled as 'mr green freak' for being conservative and aware.
You see? You see how the world is going on now? The rightful, justice and good hearted person will always be outcast and labelled as weird, while those following the norm, doing things that may not be right will be acceptable and mutually believed to be correct.
We are human, we are different from animals in the sense that we have thoughts while they have brain, we have soul while they have only instinct. THINK, before you act! Do not follow the norm blindly, be righteous and stand up when you think you are right! Do not be defeated by evil forces[sounds cartoon-ish. lol], or influence from friends!
If we as youth do not have the capability to analyze and contribute to the society, who would?
