Green Earth!

Phew, the weather tonight really signifies an urgent need for us to start healing Mother Earth. The air's so stuffy, there's hardly any movements of air, let alone breeze of any kind. Needless to say, everyone's now nicely tucked in bed, in a air conditioned room. Which means every household is now releasing pockets of heated air into the atmosphere.

Mother Earth needs help. She needs to be cooled, as much as we do. Her icecaps are disappearing one by one, her sweats are pooling faster and faster each day, she's feeling all hot, stuffy and sweaty now. Like us, she longs for the day when she could bathe in cool icy water, and washes away all the dirt, grime, soot, trash and creepy crawly humans... guess what happens to us then?

Are we going to let her hit the Reset button? Are we going to let civilisation end, or like many of the futuristic movies, we mechanize Mother Earth to sustain more life, at the cost of hers?

Is our future made up of bright sunshine, lush green rolling hills, dews on leaves, birds chirping?

Or is it a dusty landscape, of cracked columns of dried mud, land so heated that it seems to sway in the distance, and piles, and piles, and piles of sun-scorched bones?

I don't want to live that long to witness that day. I want this to last. I'm doing my bit to help her. Smart waste disposal, less energy consumed, smile more, hate less...

What about you?
