In The Cove, a team of activists and film­mak­ers infil­trate a heavily-guarded cove in Taiji, Japan. In this remote vil­lage they wit­ness and doc­u­ment activ­i­ties delib­er­ately being hid­den from the pub­lic: More than 20,000 dol­phins and por­poises are being slaugh­tered each year and their meat, con­tain­ing toxic lev­els of mer­cury, is being sold as food in Japan, often times labeled as whale meat. To really make an impact on this issue, we must get the word out in Japan and urge action from our own lead­ers. We believe that once the world and the Japan­ese peo­ple know, they will demand change. Help us save Japan’s dol­phins. Click the link above to demand action from our leaders!

I have to agree with one of the com­menter on bio­fuel. Exam­ple, Malaysia is merg­ing as one of the lead­ing bio­fuel pro­ducer and aim to be the largest bio­fuel plant in the world.

Every diesel sold in this coun­try already has at least 5% palm oil sub­stance. While devel­op­ment on biodiesel may leave us less depen­dence on petrol but any­thing we human do will have con­se­quences to every liv­ing thing.

Cut down trees and grows palm oil trees may affect the orang­utan habi­tat but not as nasty as those ille­gal log­ging in Sarawak (big pos­si­bil­ity) and Indone­sia that left the whole areas flat­ten with noth­ing left for the orang­utan to call home.

Envi­ron­men­tal­ist should very much help­less if there’s not much of sup­port from the peo­ples and the gov­ern­ment con­cern in gen­eral. I am sure there are bet­ter way for the peo­ple in the world who love this planet and Orang­utans to hand out their sup­port though edu­ca­tion and mon­e­tary sup­port to the right channel.

In my opin­ion, this 1 min­utes 27 sec­ond video isn’t enough to get through the pub­lic and may not reflect enough fair­ness to peo­ple of Sarawak who also help to con­tain Orang­utans from extinction.

Pangea Day

Pan­gaia in greek means “all earth” I love the idea of “Pangea Day”! You see, we are liv­ing in a beau­ti­ful world where every one wants to rules the world. When every one is busy try­ing to proof each and every one who’s the men, the poor and the weak who’s suf­fer the ter­ri­ble misery!

Pangea Day is a global event bring­ing the world together through film.

Why? In a world where peo­ple are often divided by bor­ders, dif­fer­ence, and con­flict, it’s easy to lose sight of what we all have in com­mon. Pangea Day seeks to over­come that – to help peo­ple see them­selves in oth­ers – through the power of film.

What hap­pen to the world today, you just can’t stop feel­ing sad and depress. So much for the ide­ol­ogy that kills women, chil­dren, our par­ents and the beloved. Of late, we have seen the worse nat­ural dis­as­ter ever recorded and coun­try like Burma allow their peo­ples to die with­out aids and foods. Peo­ple are dying every day and we wish to do some­thing about it! We want our wish to be granted to change the world to a bet­ter place! Jehane, TED, and the Pangea Day team have taken that first step.

4 hours of films and music was broad­cast live on 10th of May, 2008 from Cairo, Kigali, Lon­don, Los Ange­les, Mum­bai and Rio de Janeiro to mark the one day pan­gaia! Please watch the first 20 min­utes of the broad­cast below.

I am happy to have fol­low the 4 hours broad­cast, the expe­ri­ence is superb! This global cam­paign has touched me and mil­lions oth­ers. I hope you have enjoyed the story of Pale Blue Dot and The Ball! If the world we live in was undi­vided than earth is the heaven itself!

A Thou­sand Words is my per­sonal favorite. It’s not hard to love and be love but some­time I think that first move is the hard­est part of all. All the time we take thing for granted and only when it gone we regret­ted. Some time spe­cial things hap­pen around us, on us, we are just too blind to see but we even­tu­ally real­ize the mean­ing of life.

You may have real­ized I have a REMO free T-Shirt but­ton on my page. Yes, first T-shirt added to the cart is free – you pay only han­dling fees. You can order for your free Pangea Day T-Shirt through REMO. I show off mine below, I received the shirt on Fri­day.

Please log on to Pangeaday.org to learn more about this human race event, films, news, and the lovely peo­ples who make Pangea Day happen.

There were so many good speak­ers on the event, one of those who inspire me with his story was Anthro­pol­o­gist Don­ald Brown. He talks about Brunei cul­ture where peo­ple who have lower rank­ing do not sit higher than the peo­ple who are higher rank­ing than them, it is con­sider impo­lite in Brunei culture.

Human are and must be sen­si­tive to dif­fer­ence but too much focus on dif­fer­ence lurks behind way too much human con­flict. Today, cel­e­brat­ing what we all have in com­mon you should find hope and real­iz­ing how rich and numer­ous those com­mon­al­i­ties are. — Don­ald Brown

At the end of the day, we just want to feel fine! Artist and com­puter sci­en­tist Jonathan Har­ris makes online art that cap­tures the world’s expres­sion. I wish the world be peace and lov­ing, last but not least, We Feel Fine
