A sketch: 'in harmony with nature' - hoping that the cop15 summit becomes effective
The COP15 summit has begun at Copenhagen, Denmark and everywhere around the globe the same voice “save our planet – seal the deal” echoes. My home Maldives is one of those helpless and fragile countries that are at the frontline to be affected by global warming, at this very moment we can only hope that the COP15 summit becomes effective, ‘cos the responsibility rests on the shoulders of those countries who emit large amounts of CO2. However, each one of us should take the responsibility to care and nurture for our mother earth – switch off the lights, chargers etc if you are not using ’em, plant more trees and walk, ride a bicycle or use public transport systems : opt for a ‘greener life’ everyone.
Hopefully tht COP15 summit will be effective & successful…lets wait & see …U kno..these politicians do the trick little by little…when they trick …pple will rise up with much greater courage & determination…& pple will try hard until planet is saved from all man made environmental problems…
tht sketch harmonizes with nature in many ways… but tht ‘squirrel ass’ is bit scary…
thanks for the comments hasantey…
hehe but why is the squirrel’s *** scary?? i don’t get it… the creatures are a bit fantasy too..so the squirrel is not exactly a squirrel but one inspired by a sugar glider 🙂
Our country is one of the greatest victims of global warming. Yet we keep contributing to the problem as well. The public transport system in Male’, the centre of the problem in Maldives, can be classes as no existent . If my sources are correct there are an odd 500+ cars that are used as taxis, catering for an area of 579.8 hectares. Also, the electricity usage is increasing year on year, adding to the pollutants that are being released in to the atmosphere and contributing to global warming. To curb this, alternative energy sources could be adopted. Solar Panels are one of the more obvious choices for “The Sunny Side of Life”. They maybe expensive and at first glance “not worth it”. But if we do not want the prophesies many, that our country is about to become a modern day Atlantis to come true, we should be willing to make a little sacrifice. Also, alternative energy source are more ecomonical than we think. They do not require that much in terms of maintainance costs and they would eliminate or significantly reduce the electricity bills. There have also been cases in the UK, where house owners sell excess electicity produced by their Solar electricity systems to the national grid.
I truely agree with Ahmed…I think we should do more with this whole issue of climate change & environmental problems with a far greater priorty than what’s happening now…
If we honestly look at what’s happening in our country, we can say we (maldivians) are one of the worst environment violators on earth. While most maldivian know that they have both obligation & self-interest in facing head-on the serious issue of global warming & national security threat faced by environmental problems…we still cut down trees from shelter belts around Islands, we still take sand from beach to built houses, we still destroy reef habitat by over catching reef fishes (in this process many corals are ensnared in webs of Nylon fishing lines & this is damages the reef at much higher rate than anything)…& when tidel waves damage our Islands we blame global warming… so before we say “SAVE US TO SAVE U” we should do something to SAVE OURSELVES…
Bravo angel! tres bien,
BTW the drawing is very trippy
hahahha
