The Day the Earth Stood Still
If the earth die, you die.
If you die, the Earth survives.
Which would you choose?
Alarming, right? But so true. Time has placed us to a transformation that we cannot control. It's not the Technology that destroyed the Earth, it's US.
The Day the Earth Stood Still tells of an alien who visited our planet and tried to save the Earth. Save the Earth from what, you will ask. From the human race. Yes, the alien wanted to save the Earth from us, human beings.
As my eyes wandered from the actions I have seen on the screen, my mind wanders and wonders as to what extent we have damaged our planet. The effect of the damage is already alarming: the hole in the ozone layer, floods everywhere, storms in the Philippines, landslides in Malaysia, hurricanes in the Western part of the world, earthquakes and tsunamis in Indonesia.
The story speaks so true to what is really happening in our planet now. It is truly our attitude towards the Earth that damaged the environment. We have become so selfish that we only thought of what we can benefit from what we do. We never thought of what our actions can do to the environment, and to Mother Nature, for that matter. We become so engrossed with what we do that we forget the burning of fossil fuels every time we turn on our electric-powered gadgets and appliances. We fill our stomachs with food, and throw away the styrofoam or plastic that wraps our food, as though they don't affect the environment. We write on paper but forget that paper comes from trees being cut in order for paper to be made. We turn on our airconditioning units to cool ourselves and forget that this entails the burning of fossil fuels which is actually the main reason why the ozone layer that covers the Earth has holes and which makes the planet warm, read: HOT.
I watched this movie and what I got was a warning: Change before it is too late.
We need to change our lifestyles and try to think of our dear Mother Earth before we indulge ourselves into our own comforts. I have long been an advocate of saving the Mother Earth. The things we must basically do in order to practice such CHANGE: Reuse, reduce, recycle. This is one way to help Mother Earth get well from the infection we have affected her with our actions.
For all my friends reading this post, I'd like to ask a minute of your time to close your eyes, reflect, and ask yourself what you can do to help save the Earth. If you have your answers, please include them in your 2009 NewYear's Resolution. I believe with trying to cling on to that resolution, we will be reminded to practice a CHANGE that will help save our Mother Earth.
Let's change for Mother Earth. Let us start to think Green!

Ang change nagsisimula sa sarili kaya ipractice ko to.
and i agree, we must change to survive if not for us, for those who will come after us. all we have is one Earth. we did not protect it, maybe now we can at least save it.
I've been doing my bit to help Mother Earth from separating my garbage to saving water to switching & plugging off all my electrical appliances when i don't use them :)
