We Do Understand! Don't We?

         Take a minute to stop and feel how hot or how cold the day is. Temperature and climate are being so unpredictable lately. These days, weather forecast isn't so accurate anymore, rain might happen 4-6 days in week and so does the hot day that reach up to 40°C! One thing that we, the humans always(but most of the time pretend not to) realise that this thing appeared to be our faults.

         If we look back 30 years from now, we could compare and find a huge difference between Indonesia's ecological situation now and then. In late 1980s, Indonesia's natural environment was still one of the greenest and titled the 'Zamrud Khatulistiwa' for its density of the rainforests. Virgin forests and bare lands hadn't been illegaly logged and built with housing and skyscrapers, a day didn't feel so hot and of course pollution didn't seem to struck and 'colonized' our lands and the atmosphere as it is now.

         Let's see what we've done to our environment. All of our irresponsibilities and ambitions of lust have just made the condition upside down. Population explode cause the crises of bare lands and a rapid increase in pollution numbers. Illegal logging causes more environmental disaster; floods,landslides,etc. All the actions to fulfil self needs and greeds are ahead and considered more important than the responsibility to keep our forests, our air, our water, our environment.

         It's Just right now humans are able to easily pretend to forget the duty to take care of our earth. The publication and application of warnings and law to protect the forests, energy savings, pollution dangers are far from what we would expected. Government should be more strict in laws and and penalties. Fines and penitentiary arrest should be applied to all the rules tresspassers without looking at any castes or social statuses. If we do understand what we are capable of, of course we do understand what to do with our responsibilities, don't we?

Keep on trying: Never GIve Up!
