===========================================================

Have anyone wonder why the weather is getting more and more unpredictable each year? Or why the natural phenomena occur more often in a terrifying manner? How about the increasing number of death due to the disease outbreak? Or the death-toll of patient dying from cancer. Who was to be blame for these? Some just accept it as fate, or worse, blame it on god for the ill-fortune. Each of them passes their day in ignorance thinking that everything will be okay and all these are just ‘obstacles’ in life. Ignorance might be a bliss, but being in denial will not save the earth , only making it worse.

Since human entered the industrial age, the earth’s eco-system is getting worse as time advanced. Scientist found a hole the size of Africa in the ozone layer in Australia which exposed the citizen to harmful UV-rays which can cause skin cancer. The ice in the Arctic begins to melt in a staggering rate as some geologist predicted that for years to come, human might end up living on hills or mountains as most of the land will be flooded by water. Some scientist even thinking of finding an alternative to support life form in another planets as Mars as it is the most similar to earth in our solar system. While some architects have it all planned out by creating an escape route by creating Dubai Lilypad- the floating city.

Human only occupy 5% on the earth, but the amount of resources used to provide human comfort had already reached 30% of the earth! Imagine with human multiplying exponentially, what will be left for our generations in future? Do we really want them to live among trashes that were produced by their selfish ancestors who only care for themselves? Furthermore, in the US, 40 % of their water resources is not suitable for drinking. At this moment, water are being recycled using distillation process. Green development will not work if there’s only a few organizations who slave their lives to save the earth. This requires consciousness from every single human on this face of earth. Everyone can take part in this role-play. For those who can’t contribute material-wise or financially, they can play their part by contributing strength and consciousness. Simple actions like recycling can make differences. Survey proved that 99% of the things we bought will not last for 6 months, and if EVERYONE try to pro-long the life of their possession, imagine how much difference we can bring.

Well, I plan to major in architecture next year after finishing my 1 year Korean language course. Some might be wondering, why I want to take up this course as building more structures will just destroy mother nature. Don’t get me wrong here, as I intend to learn how to build with the green and not forgetting, to spread the idea of building green. Stopping development will be a pretty impossible thing, so instead of putting a stop to the whole developing idea, why not learn how to develop in a more environment-friendly way and build a more idealistic world in future. There’s a link to a very informational website (http://www.storyofstuff.com/), which I REALLY hope you can share it with others since this forum share the same vision with them.
