GOOD NEWS!

Hallo, teman-teman.
Beberapa hari yang lalu aku mendapatkan surat masuk di surelku.


Ternyata pengirimnya adalah UNEP, melalui emailnya yaitu worldenvironmentday@unep.org.
Melalui surat elektronik ini, UNEP berniat menyampaikan kabar baik pasca Hari Lingkungan Hidup beberapa hari yang lalu.

Akhirnya, Hari Lingkungan Hidup Sedunia ini lebih dari yang kami bayangkan.
Sulit untuk mempersempitnya, tetapi - dari semua yang terjadi kemarin - kami telah menarik enam pencapaian yang menonjol. Lihatlah.

1. 

Pemerintah India membuat komitmen yang mengejutkan untuk melarang semua plastik sekali pakai pada tahun 2022. Baca selengkapnya (no clickbait :D )

2.
Laporan plastik kami menarik perhatian wartawan di seluruh dunia - dari BBC News, ke The New York Times, ke The Daily Mail, ke Xinhua ke The Guardian. Laporan kami menjadi berita utama.

3. 
Janji untuk mengatasi polusi plastik membanjiri seluruh dunia. Dari Woolworths hingga Komite Olimpiade Internasional, dari Honduras hingga Nigeria - perusahaan, pemerintah, dan organisasi telah bersiap untuk #BeatPlasticPollution.

4. 
Tag #BeatPlasticPollution menjadi viral. Dari Hollywood hingga Bollywood, dari dunia korporat hingga kelompok komunitas, permainan tag kami diluncurkan. Lebih dari 500.000 tweet menggunakan tagar #WorldEnvironmentDay, yang merupakan topik ngetren nomor 1 di seluruh dunia.

5.
Partisipasi kami di China berada di luar ekspektasi. #BeatPlasticPollution adalah tagar teratas di Weibo, salah satu platform media sosial terbesar di China, dengan postingan yang ditandai muncul di depan sekitar 230 juta pengguna pada tanggal 5 Juni.

6.
Ribuan dari kalian keluar dan melakukan sesuatu kemarin. Dari sekelompok biarawati di Trinidad dan Tobago, ke anak-anak sekolah di Bahrain, ke suku bangsa Sherpa di Nepal, hingga wanita yang mengenakan gaun botol di jalanan New York - kalian muncul kemarin. Jadi terima kasih! Kita tidak bisa melakukannya tanpa kalian.

Itulah 6 pencapaian yang telah berhasil diraih pada Hari Lingkungan Hidup Sedunia kemarin. Sebenarnya masih banyak lagi kisah-kisah yang ingin disampaikan dalam perayaan ini. UN Environment selalu melakukan live updates di laman webnya. Klik jika kalian ingin mengetahui berita terbaru mengenai Hari Lingkungan Hidup Sedunia.

Teman-teman dari berbagai negara telah melakukan berbagai macam aksinya dalam memperingati Hari Lingkungan Hidup Sedunia. Bagaimana dengan teman-teman di Indonesia? Apakah kalian melakukan hal serupa, ataukah dengan cara lain? :)

Making a life worth living for

Image
I suppose everyone on this planet has at least one reason to survive. However, we occasionally ask ourselves, "What is the point of living if I'm only going to die?" It also happened to me. Sometimes, I think that I am not good enough to get a life. I failed in everything, my life is such a mess, I can`t make my parents proud of me. Turned out I was wrong. When I was drowned in those negative thoughts, my inner voice yelled at me: "You are the result of trillions of lucky universe probabilities!" HUH? What do you mean, f**king-no-sense inner voice! Well, our bodies on earth were made of atoms, weren't they? The atoms have been existing billions years ago. We never know how many times these atoms have joined - separated - joined - separated before finally becoming "us". In this vast universe, the probability of millions of atoms joining together is really small. Yet here I am, a human with all his senses. Today, we can enjoy the pr...

Contemplation...

in frame: siwi, my classmate in high school I suck at writing, I'm terrible at opting for the right words, I'm lack of confidence, As an ordinary and normal human being, or it's better called mediocre, I've spent most of my time ruminating and panicking over my intrusive thoughts. I've known that my writing is a messy string of words, weirdly-organised causing an eyesore. And I probably don't have any single reader too. But.... I've decided to keep writing. However, it's more than merely writing ideas. It's something pleasurable. Infinite thoughts constantly running through your mind and you just can't eagerly wait to pour them down in a compilation of phrases. Writing in blog itself creates a very different atmosphere compared to social media. Why? Social media may be similar to a chamber where your head is inundated with information and things to show off. Writing in blogs, on the other hand, is quite relaxing. There are no distractions, and yo...

A short drama script that may disappoint you

 THE SECLUDED LOVE by Imelda and Will SCENE ONE INT. DR. WILLIAMS’ LIBRARY – DAY The morning sunshine greeted through the dusty gap in the bookshelf, replacing the cold air that had accompanied Edith's day. Her hope never changed, just like before. She opened her eyes, but all hope was gone in the blink of an eye. She was still herself, the fictional character of an obsolete novel. She remained in a novel realm within a book called Garden of Terra. Her world never changed. EDITH Honestly, here is a beautiful world, but wouldn't it be great if I could try new things in the real-world? [ A man entered the room ] The sound of footsteps made her smile expand. EDITH I know who would come to this place. Someone who always visited me, no, rather visited the old books here. Go in, find the book he wanted, then leave. Like that, every day, in the morning. I don't know how many books he has read, but he never touched me. Am I too bad? [ The man walked through the shelves, stopped by ...
