- Earth's Health -


Have you ever thought that human health and the health of the planet are inextricably linked?
Why so many kind of diseases appear?
Why epidemic disease spreads widely?
Have you ever thought, it's because our planet has been sick beforehand ?

Why a deadly disease like malaria appeared?
Why an incurable disease like AIDS appeared?

The Earth is our home.
When we harm it, we harm ourselves.
How can you stay healthy if your home is extremely dirty and damaged?
It's impossible..

About 3 million hectares of forests are destroyed each year. Which will damages water sources,
erodes farmland, and makes it harder to find firewood.
Destroying forests can also make it easier for malaria-carrying mosquitoes to breed.
And it will cause the loss of biodiversity.

Enviromental change and ecosystem disruption can threaten the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, the medicines we take.

If the world's food supply are threaten, it will lead to malnutrition problems--which has happened in several countries these days.


Polluted water and air absolutely can cause human's health problems because of the chemicals contained in it.

Increases in parasites are caused by ecosystem disruption too. Which means disease-causing organism and disease-carrying organisms will increase.
AIDS is an example of a "new" disease that most likely resulted from host switching by a pathigen, when the virus leapt from green monkeys or other simians to humans.

Nature's pharmacy is the best medical treatments ever.
But what if the source of nature's pharmacy is gone? Ecosystem disruption cause the loss of the Earth's plants--especially the medical herbs.

It's clear that human well-being is directly connected to the way we treat the Earth's natural resources.
If we look after the planet, the planet will look after us.


So , start living harmony with the nature... !!
Keep the environment clean.
Save the energy and water by turning off the electricities and taps not in use.
Stop deforestation and endangered animals hunt.
And spread these habit to the others.

- Light Pollution-






Those are pictures of Light Pollutions that happens everynight.

Maybe some of you guys think that the word "Light Pollution" is weird to hear.
You can see at some countries especially in the big cities are exploiting light.

Why we call this as a pollution?
You can imagine if all area are exploiting light, the glow from the moon and the stars will lose its shine to the light from the earth. And it will cause disturbance , especially for animals that used to read the stars to migrate to a more condusive area to continue on with their life. In other words , if they can't see the star's light, they can't reach their destination and they can die if they can't do the migration. So, the population of that animals can be diminished dramatically and can trigger the other ecosystem clutters.

The light pollution also can cause the increasing of the temperature , which also one of the cause of global warming.
With the increasing temperature, the ice of the north pole will melt and the sea-levels will be rising.

To handle this, an idea has appeared -- Earth Hour .
In Earth Hour, we turn off the ligths at night for one hour . It will help us to reduce the light pollutions , and save the energy.
Just one hour without electicity isn't that hard, right? In that one hour, we can share our concern to the earth--our only beautiful planet.
From this one hour, we can turn it into our habit. A habit to save the energy. A habit to give attention to the environment. A habit to love the earth. : )

In March 26 2011, Earth Hour happened.
But i didn't see much of my neighbors participated in it. Honestly, I'm sad. Is it that hard just to turn off the lights?
But i just can believe, that i will share this habit if i participated in Earth Hour.
There's need one person to start the change isn't it? : )

- For Our Children -




As you see in the header of this blog ...

"We don't inherit the land of our ancetors,we borrow it from our children."

What came to your mind after read that..?
Have you realized what will you give to your children..?
Countless money? A castle? A successfull company?
Have you realized what's the most important thing that your children need?
It's our Earth ...

Your children need land to live ..
Your children need fresh air to live ...
Your children need clean water to live ...
Your children need our beautiful earth to live ... !

Can you see what happened to our earth...?
Global warming.
Rising sea levels.
Polutions everywhere.
Mass extinctions which 75% of the species on Earth disappear within a short time period.
35% of the world's mangroove forest has been lost in the last few decades.

We keep destroying the Earth..!
Then what will we give to our children?!

Can you imagine how your children cry because of they are in the generation where the Earth is in the critical damage condition?
Can you imagine your children blame you for the Earth's critical condition?
Can you imagine your children will fight with another for clean water?
Can you imagine your children will have harder life than yours?
Do you want all that happen to your children?

Then, what have you done so far?
You keep littering everywhere.
You keep contaminating the land, water, and air.
You keep cutting down and burning the forests.
You keep using energy prodigally.
You keep being SELFISH to the Earth... !!

It's not your land!
It's not your water!
It's not your air!
It's not your Earth!
It's OUR and OUR CHILDREN's Earth!

If the Earth destroyed, then where will we live?!
Have you found the other planets as beauty as the Earth?!
Have you found the other plantes as perfect as the Earth?!
Can't you be grateful for the Earth which the God gave you?!

Save our beautiful Earth !!
For us and our children !!
