We Are Happy Now , and (Please Don't) Let Them Suffer Later

Letter 2070

          This movie can really open my eyes. I watched it in my Environmental Education class on the second session. Surely, I could never image that may be later our children or our grand-grand children might suffer because we now never really save our wealth for them. We just keep on spending it and never really think the consequences.
          
           Oh ya, actually we can feel it now too the impact of the globalization. Lots of natural disasters just happened in all parts of the world. And maybe here in Indonesia we can feel it too. I can really feel it. It's real. When I went to my campus in one morning, the weather was so hot like it could burn my skin. But on the other hand when I wanted to go home that day a hard rain stopped me. You see, now we cannot see the exact season in here.

           I can start from a little things like trying not to waste much tissue or to walk if I can instead of riding my scooter. But I cant walk from my house to campus. It is too far! God, what should I do? Any suggestion?

         

Carrying Our Earth

          As I could see nowadays everything has changed. My world seems different from the past when I was a little kid. There were so many trees but now it turns into buildings in everywhere. There is also a change of another situation, like global warming and floods everywhere. It is really ironic to me because nothing is really responsible for this action but human. We cut off the trees from the land those trees should stand, we make it dirty from the rubbish we throw, and we pollute its fresh air. We human are very responsible for this. We make our earth crying for what we’ve done.

          Now, nobody knows for sure what is going to happen next to our earth. It could be worse than now.  I do not want this to happen. I am thinking about how it should end. I want my earth to be served better, not like this one. Well, I am not trying to be saint or whatever. I am also not perfect in any ways. Surely, I am nobody. In fact, I did things like that. So, I must be responsible too for what I've done. And the most important thing that now I just want to live better than before.

          I study Environmental Education in my third semester now. It is actually an optional course. But I really want to be in this course so that I could have something good for myself that maybe can impact others too. I’m hoping for this course that maybe it could turn me into somebody else better than me now, because I want to be somebody who is good for my own earth.
