Act Now!

The scenes from the movie, the 11th hour still wanders in my mind.. It made me realise how serious is our earth's condition today. All we keep hearing & complaining about, is how serious the situation is, but we should ask ourselves, did we do anything to help change the condition and make the world a better place to live in? No, all we do is on the air-conditioners, which indirectly produces CFCs which depletes our ozone layer. Once there is a hole in the ozone layer, the sunlight can directly reach us, which can easily cause skin infections or serious sun burns. Sometimes, the heat gets so intense, feeling thirsty is one thing, but having a fever is so much worse.

How we think is actually so selfish. I mean, why not try and help to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide which will eventually cause global warming, rather than just take a medicine or some cool pads and get well? If everyone does their own thing and solve their own problems, then how are we going to reduce the impact of an international issue, which is global warming? The glaciers and ice at the poles are melting!! Does that even mean anything to you? Maybe because we, as humans can't see far enough as it will eventually cause flash floods, until it hit us. People! Prevention is so much better than cure, why do we choose to learn it the hard way?

What goes around, comes around... One day, the world will get so warm, all the glaciers at the poles will melt and islands will sink. The earth will get so hot, it will be unsuitable for all living creatures to live, including humans. Will that the end of the human race? Or will technology save us then? Before something serious happens, we should try our best to prevent it. Do not wait till the 11th hour people! Act now! A pair of hands will not be enough. All of us should try our best to cultivate a 'green' lifestyle which will greatly reduce the amount of carbon dioxide. Remember, action always speak louder than words..

Sincerely,

Rui
