I have to agree with you. Whether we believe that your prediction is true or not, there are signs that Mother Nature is suffering and dying because of our action. Like you've said, our electric appliances such as Air Con, Refridgerator releases harmful substances (forgot what it is liao) that eats up the ozone layer. On top of that, our transportation tools like cars, buses, even planes, emits carbon monoxide which causes the green house effect. Not only that, human burn down forests to create agricultural land or farming land, or worse still, golf courses. These are collective karmic forces that we human have created. As a result, we see both poles melting, sea level rising, climate changes abnormally. We created it knowingly and unknowingly.Originally posted by longchen:Reading the news nowadays about global warming and its effects, sets me pondering...
Global warming and Earth changes perhaps are our collective karmas.
I think we must seriously do our part in reducing the effects... like use less aircon, etc. All of us are guilty of it.
I forsee a future that may not be as comfortable or luxurious as we wanted to be... as we live the collective karmic effect of humanity's action.
I alway believe that we humans are not that special and are not the centre attraction of this planet. If we don't wake up, nature will sobber us through its brute power. We always think that science and inventions are so all powerful... but we have greatly underestimated the complexity of co-habitating with the rest of the planet.
Sorry for the preaching...

I always believed that the Tsunami on 26 Dec 2005 will not be the last of disaster. Unfortunately, the leaders of the world have repeatedly ignore these signs, and continued that their globalisation dreams.
At last, Mankind are began to seriously pondering and discussin the effects of environmental on us.This problems exist for a long time and we are not really pro-active in solving the problem, until perhaps recently.. a big wake up call.Originally posted by longchen:Reading the news nowadays about global warming and its effects, sets me pondering...

Green tech could be one of the powerhouse for driving our economy..
We are not the only one doing this.
But USA, China and other countries are still not cutting down much of their emissions of CO and other gases that is harmful to us and of course, the atmosphere of earth.

Cool.. any ideas where and how much is the bio-degradable bowl for sale?Originally posted by longchen:Thanks all for the links and replies...
I didn't install aircon at home... my place is quite cooling.
But i am a heavy paper user at work Must learn to cut down on the usage.
I think solar and green technology is quite interesting...
Someone gave me a bio-degradable bowl... that after consuming your meal... can throw the bowl to the soil and it will decompose and return to the earth.
Unfortunately, i dunno the contact.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Cool.. any ideas where and how much is the bio-degradable bowl for sale?
Oh I see..Originally posted by longchen:Unfortunately, i dunno the contact.
It is meant as da-bao (take away) packaging replacement.
Maybe AEN is too young to remember this. I remembered when I was young, my aunties and grandmother always brings their own tingkat to tah pao food, cos they don't trust plastic containers that much, and they can get a bigger portion.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Oh I see..

No, I don't think you are preaching.
The harm done by the inhabitants on Mother Earth has been going on for a long, long time. The harm which I am referring to, concerns all forms of pollutions.
I am afraid it is a little to late to save the earth on which we have been living on.
If Mother Earth is threatened, our existence will be threatened.
My understanding is: the human race will be anniihilated in years to come.
The human race does not seem to be willing to learn its lessons - how to live in harmony with nature.
