It's EARTH DAY! Not a just a day to think about our planet and all the damage we have caused it, but a day to learn and adopt ways in which to help sustain our beautiful environment.There is no day better than TODAY to make CHANGES in our lives before it is too late. With the increasing number of natural disasters and phenomenons that are starting to plague Mother Earth there is no time like the present to educate ourselves with ways in which to improve her condition.
Did you stop and think what Mother Earth has achieved through the recent eruptions of volcano (I'm not even gonna try to pronounce it!) Eyjafjallajokull ?
18th April 2010
Yes humankind's air travel system was forced to a grinding halt as a result of the volcanic ash. The most evident effect was the inconvenience it caused us... the great positive effect was the huge decrease in 'fuel-burning' emissions into our atmosphere.
Isn't it about time we stopped being so ignorant? Stop thinking it doesn't REALLY affect us. Stop procrastinating and start TODAY. Stop being flakey and practise an eco-friendly lifestyle on a DAILY basis. Make it part of our everyday life.
It's time to stop disrespecting Mother Earth and start to make her proud
Everything in life is a cycle... the earth is desperately fighting to survive the damage we have caused - to the animal life, plant life, environment, atmosphere... inevitably it will reach a point of regeneration and when the Earth's core can't handle it anymore, it will fall, and take all of humankind with it!
If you don't know where to start to make a CHANGE, here's an insight to what I'm doing in TWO easy steps.
Step 1: Refer to your own personal experience of the natural beauty and 'gifts' that the Earth provides us. These are a selection of my personal photographs :
Little Fluffy Clouds
Bali, Indonesia
Phuket, Thailand (yes, that's me!)
Galle, Sri Lanka
Kota Kinabalu, East Malaysia
Step 2 : Educate yourself in the ways you can change your daily lifestyle to make it more eco / earth friendly conscious. If you don't recycle, START. Switch the tap off when you're brushing ur teeth and when you're soaping yourself in the shower. Switch all lights off in an empty room. Minimise your use of air conditioning - use a fan instead.
Plan your travel route to help minimise your petrol consumption. Recycle your plastic bags or use shoppers (which are now readily available).
Surf the net for online organisations that sell eco- friendly products. Check out WeAreUltra & TinyTapir
Read up on the plight of animals that are close to extinction. Some may even be native to your country of origin!
As I Malaysian born in the year of the Tiger, it is only appropriate that I mention the plight of these beautiful cats - find out more here
I'm involved in a collaborative project together with hiphop artist Altimet & rock giants Deja Voodoo Spells. Together we are known as "The M.A.D. Project" and as a gift to you this EARTH DAY we are giving you our song 'CHANGE' as a FREE DOWNLOAD. If you would like a copy of the lyrics please leave a comment on this blog.
PLEASE VOTE for THE MAD PROJECT for BEST COLLABORATION for AVIMA2010 here (voting ends tomorrow)
Wanna learn more about what you can do, starting this EARTH DAY to help & sustain our beautiful planet? Go here
Let's show some LOVE not just show the big cats & each other, but Mother Earth some BIG LOVE from today onwards.
