Green Acts to save our Mother Earth

I received an email that I would like to share it.

力行減碳333 常保地球999

從前 有一片美麗的大地
因爲地球暖化
海鷗 不見了
企鵝 不見了
海豹 不見了
美麗的生命 正在消失
讓我們一同為地球尋找希望

There was once a beautiful land
Because of Global Warming
Sea gull disappeared
Penguins are gone
Seals are missing
Beautiful life is disappearing
Let us together find hope for our Earth


證嚴上人呼籲:
疼惜大地,我們每個人都有責任。我希望大家都有更大的環保意識,不但要了解問題的起因,更要付諸行動,決不要輕視一己之力。只要人人一起做,全世界人類總合起來,其力量是非常大的!地球的安危,也是人類的安危;唯有地球平安,人類才能平安。

Master Cheng Yen's appeal:
Protecting the environment is a responsibility that all of us share. I hope everyone can live with greater environmental awareness. It is a simple concept, but if we can all put it into practice, the impact can be profound and far-reaching. Only when our world is free of disaster, will mankind be safe.
