Climate change or global warming is a big issue right now. If we don't start saving our earth, I think most of you knows what's the probable impact on us, our landscapes and ecosytems. Just imagine all those beautiful animals like the bengal tigers last home could drown due to rising sea levels, polar bears are going hungry as they wait on land for the ice to re-form in autumn and allow them back onto their marine hunting grounds, and mountain gorillas will lose their forests and have nowhere to go....oh my...we can prevent this. Fuyoh...do I sound like an environmentalist (perasan)?....actually I was emotionally moved and feel a lil distressed after watching 11th Hour (narrated by actor Leonardo Dicaprio - check trailer below). Well...it's all true...we should all set out what we can do to prevent this climatic change or else all human kind will suffer the worst.
Here's some 10 tips to save the world and help stop climate change:
1. Save energy in the house -turn your thermostat down a degree or two, wear jumpers indoors, snuggle under a blanket when watching TV or invest in a high tog duvet. Insulate your house – partially block air vents with newspaper, use insulating tape around doors, use draught excluders, clingfilm on windows, foil behind radiators, block keyholes and unused letterboxes. Change your lightbulbs to energy saving ones. Only boil the amount of water you need in the kettle, and use a cover on saucepans when boiling. Boil the kettle to wash up, rather than running the tap – save water and energy!
2. Stop flying -do domestic holiday by road or take the train
3. Get a bike, not a car, or use public transport.
4. Lobby your MP to push the recently announced climate change bill, block airport expansion and support renewable
energy schemes.
5. Reduce your food miles – shop local!
6. Plant a tree. Or even better, get together with friends or a community group and plant lots of trees! Find a suitable site and
check with the local Council before planting!
7. Reduce the amount of plastic bags, packaging and useless tat that you buy. Reuse what you have – plastic bags for rubbish,
receipts as scrap paper, cereal boxes as file dividers. Recycle what you have left!
8. Make do and mend – instead of buying a new purse, top or pair of jeans, repair or customise what you already have.
9. Before you buy anything, think – do I need this? Where was it made? Who made it? What is it made from? Can I recycle it
afterwards?
10. Talk to as many people as possible about climate change, sustainability and caring for the environment. One person makes a bit of a difference, but lots of people can make more!
I know it's pretty tough sometimes to practise all these but we could at least TRY! We could help to make a difference and see something happen for the better.
Check out these two cool videos (my favourites) on global warming/save the world kinda thing....
A Beautiful Lie by Hollywood actor Jared Leto with his band 30 Seconds to Mars (sorry lyrics not available):
4 Minutes by Madonna featuring Justin Timberlake & Timbaland:

Come on boy

To pick up my stroll
(Justin:)
Well don't waste time

I want somebody to speed it up for me
Then take it down slow
There's enough room for both
(Justin:)
Well, I can handle that
You just gotta show me where it's at
Are you ready to go (Are you ready to go)
(Madonna & Justin:)
If you want it
You already got it
If you thought it
It better be what you want
If you feel it
It must be real just
Say the word and imma give you what you want
Chorus:
(Madonna & Justin:)
Time is waiting
We only got 4 minutes to save the world
No hesitating
Grab a boy

Time is waiting
We only got 4 minutes to save the world
No hesitating
We only got 4 minutes, 4 minutes

And you know I can tell that you like it
And that it's good, by the way that you move, ooh, hey

But if I die tonight
At least I can say I did what I wanted to do
Tell me, how bout you?
(Madonna & Justin:)
If you want it
