as usual, candid "hopeful" style
to be honest, I dun feel angry at the ppl burning the forest; I just felt sad. it one more time shows how unfair the world is.
poor indonesian farmers have no other means to make more money. who cares abt someone thousands of miles away ? "i need to eat, I dun do this you give me money ?"
When buying cheap toilet rolls no one is complaining "all these come from unfriendly deforested lands". I watched on TV, one guy was asked "will you support sustainable sources", answer is "I of course support AS LONG AS THEY ARE SAME PRICE OR LOWER". How more hypocritical can you get ? Ppl are not willing to sacrifice even a single bit to support good cause. You need to pay MORE to support such gd cause. (Any one remember "fair trade coffee" ? it costs A LOT more than "usual" price)
also poor indonesian maids work in SG like slaves but get paid miserable sum, losing dignity as human. No one complains. In EU, a "maid" has a salary of EUR2000 and has medical/labor benefits.
To global scale, rich industrialized countries polluting the world for 200 years getting rich, now tell the rest poor countries "no your carbon emission too much, must save the world. you dun know what you do is destroying earth ??! stop your coal plants." Ppl don even have sufficient electricity, clean water, clean food. not my problem. "that's because your government is corrupt".
