A smarter planet!

As we nearing to the end of the wonderful year and to the new beginning of exciting year, lets just pause for a second on our actions that may have saved the planet life.

Most of us didn't think each one of our action can powerfully influence the course of the Earth's life. Well, at least we're not aware of it physically. I recently got into quite a heated argument with my loved ones over the prospects of them wanting to get a new car on top of the already cars they've. If you want to know who lost the argument, well, I won't make it much longer for you to guess--I lost it.

You see, my arguments are based on preserving and preparing this beloved planet for the future generations. I say something like carbon footprints, effects on the Earth, global warming and whatnots. They sounded convincingly true to me, I mean I've all the facts and data backed up from my reading from learned journals. I've prepared list of pros and cons of the idea of a new car and the cons weighed more than the pros. Yet, it failed to impress them. On one hand I've been stunned by the overwhelming belief that scientists alone can solve all these problems for the entire human race.

Thus I turned to this blog and put an entry to call for opened hearts to gather momentum to save, even for a little, our planet. We know it's the only one the entire universe so far, and that it's the only place that we can be sure to be able to breath to live.

Take a walk when your destinations don't require more than few minutes drive. Perhaps, you may have just save the ozone layer from being botched. Cycle to and fro when the places you'd like to go to takes more than 10 minutes drive. Just maybe, you saved some remote islands in the Pacific from the rising seawater from the global warming. And if your journey takes more than an hour or even days to reach by foot or bicycles, maybe hop onto shared transportation. Or get yourself a hybrid car. While you're still puffing out gases that are killing our planet, your contribution percentage is decreased by the number of collective share. Perhaps, you've just saved a small area of productive land from being turned to another Sahara Desert. Or if you can't afford either the twos, grab a book and a hot chocolate. A page can take you thousands miles away from where you're sitting (or lying). I know this for real because I fall under this category.

Happy new year everyone! Lets make a smarter planet :)
