i am willing to try but what about you?
instead of frettin over the Sichuan earthquake or the unfortunate event in Myanmar (sorry, i am not too clear abt this), whr all we can do is donate our clothes, daily necessities and money. mayb we shud just look ahead and see our biggest prob, the ailin earth. i kinda knew Singapore kinda has this save Gaia campaign goin on but if you ask me i'd say the effort is weak. is this like some worldwide event thing? cos seriously, or shud i say ironincally, i am hearin or seein the efforts of this 'save-the-earth' of sorts event, from Japanese media; Touch! Eco 2008. i still do keep my tv on with the local progs alright the Japanese are doin lots like this within the eco week which i assume is from 2june to 8june. the celebrities took up different challenges by carryin acts that were eco-friendly if i'm not wrong and one of them was to educate the africans or sth.. here's one of them. it is a clip showin the performance of the song fuka-fuka love the earth which translates into let's love the earth gently. it is a song co-written by all 7 of them in the band and the lightin of the performance was actually generated by the celebrities cyclin their asses off below the stage.
but i gotta admit the adverts that Singapore has come up with feels real and movin. i guess it is one of the rare adverts that deserves praises. basically the Gaia from our Save Gaia campaign comes from this..
The Gaia hypothesis is an ecological hypothesis that proposes that the biosphere and the physical components of the Earth (atmosphere , cryosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere) are coupled together to form a complex interacting system. This system is proposed to act in a homeostatic fashion that preserves climatic and biogeochemical conditions on Earth that are suitable for living organisms. Named after the Greek Titan of the earth, the hypothesis is frequently described as viewing the Earth as a single organism. (from Wiki)
so now i finally see the reason behind the govt's effort in tryin to motivate ppl to save on the electricity and the vigorous campaigns on savin electricity and the use of canvas bags instead of plastic bags. i guess it is workin? cos it is subtle and it slowly becomes part of us, a habitual thg..
after all that bullshit, seriously i think i am your most eco-unfriendly person but i sure dont fancy carryin plastic bags ard unless necessary. so does that make me more eco-friendly now? i am not bein pro-Japanese here but it is still nice seein the efforts they are puttin it to create an awareness. some part of me dont really care if it is from the bottom of their hearts that they care for the earth or simply doin it for publicity cos it is heartenin seein ppl evn tryin. mayb, just mayb, from today, i can just do a small part. i was once that selfish to think that i need not cos i wont live to see the earth deteriorates but now, i might just wanna consider how i cant do my part (less hairspray anybod? hahaa!).
just a tiny question... why is environmentally-friendly shortened to eco-friendly?
i was supposed to blog abt my ssm proficiency test and my drama review on Last Friends but well, i guess this needed more attention so those two just gotta wait..
