Global warming has caused rising sea levels. A small fishing village 20 km away from Bangkok, Thailand has now been flooded with only poles standing in the sea. Temple located at higher ground has become isolated island. Sinking villages along the coast is a serious warning to the capital Bangkok. Experts conservatively estimated that in 20 years time, Bangkok will disappear forever.
Climate warming has in turn threaten our living space and living environment. Disasters with serious impact are expected to happen more frequently. The 10 natural disasters with the highest number of deaths are related to extreme weather condition.
Shall we just stay aloof and pretend it's non our business? Every human being on this planet earth has the responsibility to face the global warming crisis together.
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.
