Go Green! Save Our Earth!

Now, almost everywhere we heard slogans ( whispering, not screaming considering only a small group of people pay attention to them ) about: Safe our planet, safe our world, etc. The truth is, is these sentence ring your inner bell? Hello..... we can see our world is really really sick and start showing sign such as catastrophe everywhere including: extreme weather either Heat waves or Cold waves, Floods, Landslide, Arctic ice melting, Island sinking, Tsunami, etc,etc... And who suffer the most? Human? WRONG!!!! It's Animal's World who get the worst hit. They do nothings to cause these, they just run their life as generations before them. They are innocent but the must bear the consequence of us,human, arrogance. Yes, I pity them.
Look What we have done to their circle of life, we have damage the food chain by our industrial pollutant, by spilling tons of fuel on the sea, by illegal logging, by illegal hunting ( I read an article from newspaper recently about a group of baby seal were massacre by unknown youngster, really made me sick: how young people can did such unthinkable things? ). We cause the famous " Global Warming" ( Quote it because it's only empty words to most of us ) and that leads to many...many disaster, We steal their forest by deforestations either for plantation,mining and housing. Forest animal who had smaller and smaller habitat area will surely out of the forest to find foods for living. Elephants and other animals such as monkeys who actually scare of human, dare themselves to go to the village to stole crops and then must faced being murdered or poisoned. Even tiger, Lions who once were called " King of The Jungle" are king no more because being hunt for their skin, claws, etc.
Animal become extinct. And once they're in extinction group, what we human do? We hunt them even more to sell to the collector who dare to pay high price.
Gosh...What cruel creature we're!!
Do we really have humanity as a human? Do we have love in our heart? Or have it deteriorating along with the dying earth? Only YOU, Yourselves, can answer that!

Now, now, this are not the topic i want to write, but since it is in my head, i think i own myself to write them down.

Now, what can we, humble human being whose voice is clearly ignore by politician, rich and famous can do?
We can start living a greener life. We can create greener environment. Can u imagine how good it will be if everybody is trying to live a greener lives?
So, how to live a greener life? words is easier to be said, you know. Many will think: Ah, if only me , wont effect the world. Well... WRONG!!! Small steps leads to great result right?
First: We can reduce the using of fossil fuel by using energy efficiently.
Don't turn on air-con if you're not in the room, turn off your electrical equipment, don't just put them on stand-by mode. Use energy efficient lamps, don't build a house as big as palace if only a small family member who'll live in it ( I know houses which are around 1000 meter square, three stories height and contain only 5-7 family members plus 5-6 maid. What a waste:land waste,energy waste), Don't buy car as big as Hummer if you only use it as city car. Use car as needed and use public transport instead( although i can't apply it with Indonesia public transport condition, we don't only arrive our destination filthy , sticky with dust and sweat but also risk of being robbed or sexual harassment ). Travel with neighbour if heading same destination ex. mall, church, temple, school office.
Second: Bring your own bags or basket to groceries store. Reduce using plastic bags. Plastic need ages to be unravel

Third: Bring your own chopsticks, to avoid using wooden/bamboo dispose able ones.
Fourth: Womens, Use cloths pads for your monthly menstruation.
No, not our mum's type but now there are many comfortable cloth pads with pretty prints also with wings.
Fifth: For new mums, use cloth diapers instead of disposeable diapers which is made with papers and full of chemical.
There are many brands of cloth diapers out there, mostly made and sell by WAHM.
Sixth: Plants trees as many as possible such as in the gardens, side walks, roof, etc.
Seven: Throw the rubbish such as candy wrap in garbage can.
Keep your enviroment clean. Rubbish will produce methane gas which contribute large portion of glass-house effect.
Eight: Don't order food excessively so it won't be soiled or throw away uneaten.
So many and increasing hungry people in the world. How can you throw away your dinner if so many children in the world crying with hunger and their parents only able to feed them with plain water to ease their stomach pain??
Nine: Stop Deforestation!
The world is not belong only by human, so many other creature live in it. Please consider the other. You will not happy if your neighbour car is parking in your garden, right? So stop the greed and egoistic thinking and respect other living creature. They have the same right as we,human, to live harmony in this world with different pattern.
Ten: Contractor and all real estate empire. Build Vertically not horizontally.
Create a greener environment for your estate and provide park as " city lungs " in your housing project.
Ten is not enough but these will great to big result if we apply them in our daily lives.

So, Please... SAVE THE EARTH!!!!
