I've watched "Home"
Although the movie was kinda slow at first,
but it was unbelievably Breath-takingly Beautiful.
Everything is Magnificently Stunning.
btw, I love the Opera song at 1:15:57 - 1:20-45 and when the singer started singing at 1:17:00.
I've watched Al Gore's Inconvenient truth, The eleventh hour, and now HOME.
(I haven't seen Earth, tho)
and I know something must be done.... yes everyone should do something, or maybe stop doing.
But I don't know what.........
Almost everything in life involves depleting the earth of its resources, unless of course you breed trees.
I mean grow trees, how do you say it ? cultivate trees ? and sell the seeds and baby trees.
then probably, you're doing the earth some good.
But the Economy involves selling stuff and when people buy more, you prosper.
and that means you want them to buy more, thus consumerism, thus more digging on earth's resources.
Food Business, Restaurants, Cafes,
Packagings of plastic cups, plastic bag, paper bag, plastic straw, plastic spoons, they're still a waste.
Just take a look at coffee shops and how much plastic cups they're using.
I'm not blaming them, but I'm also looking for alternatives.
Yes there are biodegradable materials available, but they cost more, so most business don't use them.
It's not possible if people bring their own mug, then they'd have so much to bring with them, plates, mugs, utensils, water bottles and after that, they'd be needing water to wash the mug, utensils, etc.
Yes Restaurants can use only mugs and glasses, but what about takeaways ?
some Restaurants even prefer to use plastic cups, coz they're cheaper and you don't have to worry about breakages.
Supermarkets with the plastic bags.
How many times have you bought a detergent refill pouch, put it in a plastic bag,
and when you get home, the plastic bag is already torn and you throw it out.
How many times have you forgotten to bring your own reusable cloth bag ?
New alternative of a biodegradable plastic cost more, so of course people would choose the usual plastic.
But plastics get recycled,
Some just got melted down, releasing toxic gas and turned into smelly black plastic bag or buckets.
so yes they get recycled, but in a way dat's harmful to humans and the environement.
Clothes, Fashion industry
People don't wear last season's clothes anymore because ppl don't want to look outdated.
So they buy and buy and buy more and more and more clothes and shoes and bags.
Electronics are the same.
Take a look at mobile phones,
Everyone wants the newest models and they change their phone as soon as a new model comes out,
which could be monthly.
This is what I see in the everyday lives and even this could go on and on and on.
"faster and faster"
and I don't even know about the Pollutions and destructions caused by big Factories.
What can be done ?
"it's too late to be a pessimist" (from "Home")
One person can make a difference, one person can start a change.
So Let's start by doing the simplest things that we can.
Let's stop consumerism and let's stop wasting stuff.

Start now !
I was watching "The day after tomorrow" the other day.
and I just started thinking, How many disaster movies do we need until we all realize that we need to do something to prevent that kind of scenario. ;p
yes those movies are all fiction, but they're not entirely incorrect, they're based on facts.
But what about Al Gore's Inconvenient truth, or the Eleventh Hour, or Earth, or Home.
They're all Facts, they're all happening right now.
What about all of the "unnatural" natural disaster ?
floods, hurricanes, increasing temperature, etc etc
They're all happening right now.
Caused by us, human, by our ignorance.
by the pollutions from big factories/manufacturers producing more stuff for us.
we need to change our lifestyle.
We need to use less, buy less, waste less
We need to change Now.
What about using re-usable cloth bags instead of plastic bag ?
Yes it's true that it's way better.
But use the cloth bags that you already have !!!
You don't need to buy 7 different cloth bags to match your shoes.
How many bags do you have piling on your closet floor right now ?
See what I mean ?
It's sometimes contradicting, we need the economy to survive, we need to sell stuff to earn money, to give a better life for our family, but by buying stuff, means more production, more using the earth's resources, more waste.
It's kind of a ridiculous cycle really.
One way of doing it is by using renewable resources and biodegradable materials.
Yeah.... we can all use a natural fibre weave bag, but what ?.... it's all just a trend.
Pretty soon, we'll find ways to color it using toxic dye, apply a varnish coat for longer use, add plastic ornaments to bling it. They're all pretty but harmful to the environement.
What about all of those cheap plastic stuff available out there ?
They're toxic to use, they're toxic to the environement, but because it's cheap, we use it anyway.
What about all the electronics ??
People are always getting new technology, mobile phones, laptops, PC, cameras, handycams.
I just can't understand the need to change a cellphone that has a 3 megapixel camera with the one that has a 3.2 megapixel with a different color casing.
Consumerism has gotten out of control, people are dictated by trends and are embarassed when they are not up-to-date.
In the olden times, everything is repairable, spareparts are available.
But now, Older models electronics are no longer repairable because the manufacturers no longer produces the spareparts. By older models, I mean models that comes out 3 months ago.
Greed has taken control.
We need to change how we think.
We need to stop letting the industry tells us what to think.
We need to be in control.
We need to know when is enough.
We need to, otherwise the world isn't going to last.
We're not going to survive the near-future disasters.
We need to do something Now.
Do something, anything at all that will help.
Just start by not wasting more plastic.
That's a start.
What about using less water at home ?
There are tons of things to do.
Just start by not wasting stuff.
We'll start from there for now :)

Nobel Peace Prize Winner 2006 - Muhammad Yunus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-W6y0HzFWk
An Economic Professor turned Bankir of the Poor - Grameen Bank.
He started the microfinance movement in Bangladesh, that is to lend money to the poor, even to beggars.
Impossible ?
Think again.
He's succeeded in MicroFinance and is very positive about eliminating poverty.
The power of one :)
If your heart is in the direction of making the world a better place.
then You'll like this book.
Creating a World Without Poverty - Muhammad Yunus - 2006 Nobel Peace Prize Winner
The book tells you how Muhammad Yunus starts his Grameen Bank, about Social Business Innovations and about his achievements of making the imposibble possible.
Generation Disposable Everything
Remember the old days where you can fix everything you own.
Be it your old Radio, Watch, Clock, Pans, almost everything.
But now....
Some Mass production isn't followed with the productions of spare parts.
Maybe because it's cheap to mass product, so there's no need to fix.
Just throw and buy a new one, fixing cost more.
or Maybe it's just marketing, If customers can't fix a broken handle of a pan and can't find a replacement for the handle then they'd have to buy a new one.
Throw away everything and Buy new ones with a "cuter" model.
This creates Disposable everything.
and what do we get ? Waste waste waste..... Lots of waste.
You know when you buy pens in a bookstore.
The ordinary cheap pens.
Yes they may have a pen refill available.
But they're hard to find.
and when you try to look a pen refill for your cheap pen, You can't find it, coz they have a new pen model out that has a different refill model and the old ones are already discontinued.
That's a picture of the stuff I have on my table right now. At least 7 of them is almost unusable with no Refill available. That's just from 1 person.
Then comes the promotional pens they give away for free.
Those tiny little cute pens that can't be refilled.
more waste.
Then comes the free give-away mugs.
Who needs another mugs ??
then comes everything else in life, every little products that's in your home.
Mouse for your computer for example, they break down oh so fast.
So is it the Manufacturer's fault ?
Yes... it's the greedy manufacturer's fault, BUT, It's not entirely their fault.
It's our fault as well.
We customers are ignorant lazy people.
We've become the Generation Disposable Everything.
What's the point of refilling a pen when buying a new one cost less than 1 dollar ?
Who cares what happens to the waste ?
Well, it all comes back full circle.
All the waste, all the pollutions, it all accumulates slowly and affects us all in return.
Result is global warming, Rising sea level, Acid rain, Unpredictable weather, Unbreatheable air, Natural Disasters gone crazy, etc.
So please....
Try not to waste so much.
Care a little :)

My Favorite Books - Guide
Books are one of my favorite things in the world.
I don't buy every new books that are marked "best seller" or "new arrival"
But Sometimes , some books are just so good, I just have to have them.
Sometimes the books are published way back then, yes old books are sometimes the best.
Sometimes I find books on sale of only 3 dollars !!
Sometimes they just got published and I got attracted by the pretty cover and they turn out to be great books.
Sometimes the cover is really "ugly" and "boring" but the book turned out to be fun.
But one thing's for sure, They're filled with so much useful and amazingly true information
Even after reading it months ago, you can always go back to it and find more information that you didn't notice before.
PS. I will do reviews of the books in future posts, in the mean time, you can just follow the link to see the books :)

Earth Song - Michael Jackson
Earth Song lyrics
by Michael Jackson
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain.. .
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?
Aaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah
What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores
Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaah
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far
Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah
Hey, what about yesterday (What about us)
What about the seas (What about us)
The heavens are falling down (What about us)
I can't even breathe (What about us)
What about the bleeding Earth (What about us)
Can't we feel its wounds (What about us)
What about nature's worth (ooo,ooo)
It's our planet's womb (What about us)
What about animals (What about it)
We've turned kingdoms to dust (What about us)
What about elephants (What about us)
Have we lost their trust (What about us)
What about crying whales (What about us)
We're ravaging the seas (What about us)
What about forest trails (ooo, ooo)
Burnt despite our pleas (What about us)
What about the holy land (What about it)
Torn apart by creed (What about us)
What about the common man (What about us)
Can't we set him free (What about us)
What about children dying (What about us)
Can't you hear them cry (What about us)
Where did we go wrong (ooo, ooo)
Someone tell me why (What about us)
What about babies (What about it)
What about the days (What about us)
What about all their joy (What about us)
What about the man (What about us)
What about the crying man (What about us)
What about Abraham (What was us)
What about death again (ooo, ooo)
Do we give a damn

Heal the World - Michael Jackson
Heal the World lyrics
by Michael Jackson
Think about the generations and to say we want to make it a better
world for our children and our children's children. So that they know
it's a better world for them; and think if they can make it a better
place.
There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow.
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow.
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space, make a better place.
Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.
If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving.
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world, make a better world.
Chorus
Bridge:
And the dream we would conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify it's soul
Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly
Be God's glow.
We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel
You are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn
Their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space to make a better place.
Chorus
Refrain (2x)
There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.
There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.
You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in

No Message Could Have Been Any Clearer
(If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place)
(Take A Look At Yourself And Then Make The Change)
(You Gotta Get It Right, While You Got The Time)
('Cause When You Close Your Heart)
You Can't Close Your...Your Mind!
(Then You Close Your...Mind!)
That Man, That Man, That Man, That Man
With That Man In The Mirror
(Man In The Mirror, Oh Yeah!)
That Man, That Man, That Man
I'm Asking Him To Change His Ways
(Better Change!)
You Know...That Man
No Message Could Have Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself And Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself And Then Make A Change)

We are the World - Michael Jackson
We are the World lyrics
by Michael Jackson
There comes a time
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need
[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
[Chorus]
When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change will only come
When we stand together as one
[Chorus]
by Michael Jackson
There comes a time
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need
[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
[Chorus]
When you're down and out

There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change will only come
When we stand together as one
[Chorus]

World Environment Day - 5 June 2009
It's World Environment Day - 5 June 2009
and they have a movie out, called "Home"
We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate.
The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being.
For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film.
HOME has been made for you : share it! And act for the planet.
Yann Arthus-Bertrand
the good news is, you can watch it free online until June 14th 2009
it runs for 1:33:18
www.youtube.com/homeproject
But just imagine watching it on a big screen, it'd be so much better.
I think I'm getting goosebumps just watching the trailer,
Our Home really is Magnificent and Beautiful.
Please help save our Home :)
Here's the trailer
PPR is proud to support HOME
www.ppr.com
HOME is a carbon offset movie
www.actioncarbone.org
More information about the Planet

The website is at :
www.home-2009.com/us/index.html
WED is a United Nations Environment Programme
www.unep.org/wed/2009/english
btw,
no wonder some of the images in "Home" seem familiar.
I know that it's by Yann Arthus-Bertrand
but I just realized that he's the same guy that photographed "The earth from above"
I saw his outdoor exhibition in Milan, Italy
and this is one of my favorite picture.
Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, USA.
wow.... go visit his homepage for more pics.

Adopt a Baby Tree
I found this website
WWF will plant your real baby tree for US$5.50 in Rinjani Protected Forest Protection in Lombok Island, Indonesia, and you can see your baby tree via Google Earth.
Kinda cool, right ?
They even have this cartoony thingy where they fight those illegal loggers and finally plant the baby tree safely.
Okay....
I totally support the Environment and I really appreciate WWF actions and I'm not being cynical about this, well actually I am a little bit.
I was just wondering what will happen to the tree in 10-20 years time when it's full grown ?
It's a baby tree now, but when it's a giant tree, How can mybabytree.org and WWF protect all those trees from illegal logger or the natives who want to use the land for farming ?
I mean, the reality at the moment is, trees are being cut down even inside the Protected National Parks in Indonesia.
Park Rangers who are responsible to guard the National parks also live under threat there.
I'll email askme@mybabytree.org to find out more and will post here when I get a reply.
13 May 09, I just resent the email , hopefull will get a reply :)
So, I haven't got a reply and probably never will. Are they even alive ?
Anyway.... I guess it's better to have baby trees alive for 1 or 2 or 3 or hopefully more years, rather than a bald forest, right ?
What happens after the trees are full grown ? ready to harvest ?
will they be able to protect the trees from illegal loggers ?
Nobody knows. So..... again, it's a starting effort to green the forest and hopefully it will last !! :)
In the meantime, it's great to see that people are getting more concerned about the environment and there are more sites dedicated to help save the environment. :)

Earth Day 2009
yup... It's Earth Day 2009
April 22nd 2009
It's time for the Green Generation.

Do you see the baby polar bear in the poster ?
Mmmm....
There can't be a better day to start the blog :)
I believe that one person can make a difference.
I won't be easy, but it can be done.
and I believe each and every one of us can contribute
even in the slightest way possible
to help save the world.
I also think that Excessive consumerism is a huge problem in our society
that leads to all those piles of unwanted objects
that eventually pollutes the environment.
Stop wanting more, more and more, you don't need all that stuff.
Contribute and Do what you can :)
Anything at all helps
Happy Earth Day !!
