maybe all of you have already seen movie ” Avatar ”
great movie right ?
But I wouldn’t talk about what’s the noble message in it that some people talk about,
no ,, why ?
because I think I am part of the problems that movie was talking about, I never take part of environment action or donate money to WWF funds ( maybe i should ) . My only so called environmental attitude is to throw my garbage in the garbage bin, falsely believing it wouldn’t ends up in some garbage dump ( what a naive thought… all garbage goes to some place ).
the movie reminds me a lot of Kalimantan ( borneo ), whose forest are being destroyed and sold for commodities. And the Omaticayan ( blue people in avatar ) somehow resemble people of Dayak kayan who were wise and just in treating and preserving the forest. And yet the government ( in new orde era ) always quick to blame them for deforestation.
But in Borneo the human prevail and the spirit of the forest were crushed . The spirit were restless and occasionally sending its wrath through flood and landslide , even so the human hold its stubborn and selfish behavior.
on a totally unrelated event there was an articles here about a discovery of vast amount of lithium in Bolivia .
Is it ours (human ) for taking ? or it should remain intake for something that we didn’t fully understand yet

Though I didn’t see the movie I got the message ever since the Club of Rome published “The Limits to Growth”. And though I’m a member of a Green party I am guilty as hell also and contribute to pollution and global warning.
Yes the deforestation of Kalimantan and the Amazone is a crying shame. And no mankind should not exhaust the earth.
It is pretty tough to change individual attitudes ( mine included), to change the capitalistic system and to bring about a worldwide sense of urgency (The summit at Copenhagen was a absolute failure)…

Good blog.. you can tell that it came from a good conscience.
someone told me once that love came from awareness.. you’ve surely awared, and i can already feel the love (i’m talking about the earth here, ok?):D anyway, from my point of view, every small gesture counts. if, for now, all you can do is put garbage in the garbage can, you should. hey, at least it won’t ended up on the road. and the WWF? who can say that they purely and honestly send all the funds to the benefit of the earth? my brother was interviewed for the WWF org, and they clearly said that one must be able to make certain money every month (from other people’s donation), and one will get certain percentage of the total fund collected. hmm.. that doesn’t sound like environmentally-sound either, doesn’t it?

yes there will be always constant struggle between growth and sustaining the environment. But people from traditional tribes may hold the truth to the spirit of sustaining lives, once i saw a movie about the Indians who always thought the bear was the keeper of the trees and human are supposed to fear the bear, but then come people with gun who have no fear of bears ..
