TITLE: "BE COOL! BE GREEN!" - ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING
MY WORK WAS INSPIRED BY MADONNA'S SONG: "HEY YOU!"
- MADE FOR THE LIVE EARTH CONCERTS 7/7/07
(THE VIDEO CAN BE VIEWED ON YOUTUBE.COM)
THE IMAGERY IN MADONNA'S VIDEO STRUCK ME.
HUGE BLOCKS OF INLAND ICE FALLING INTO THE SEA.
A POLAR BEAR SWIMMING, STRUGGLING TO GET ONTO THE SLUSHY ICE.
IT WAS HEART BREAKING.
I KNOW THAT POLAR BEARS CAN DROWN FROM EXHAUSTION
IF THEY CANNOT GET ONTO THE ICE.
ALL HAPPENING RIGHT HERE IN MY OWN COUNTRY.
SO I HAVE MADE SOME GREEN HABITS.
WE CAN ALL HELP BY MAKING LITTLE CHANGES
THAT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE END:
- SWITCH TO ENERGY SAVING LIGHT BULBS
(THEY ARE MORE EXPENSIVE, BUT THEY LAST LONGER)
- UNPLUG DEVISES WHEN NOT IN USE
(INCLUDING YOUR PHONE CHARGER)
- WALK OR BIKE INSTEAD OF DRIVING
- IF YOU DRIVE, TURN OFF THE ENGINE WHENEVER YOU PARK
I GOT MY ADVICE ON LIVEEARTH.MSN.COM,
BUT NO MATTER THE SOURCE,
IT IS THE ACTION THAT COUNTS
BE COOL! BE GREEN!
