lihat alam

Semalam (hari Ahad), saya berpeluang melawat Eden Project di Cornwall. The admission fee is GBP8 for students, but believe me, it's reasonable. For those who hasn't seen it, Eden Project is actually a 'global garden' where they reserve plants from humid tropical regions to Mediterranean-type climates. Let's take a look on what we've experienced there :)

(overview of Eden Project)

The first stop was at the Rainforest Biome. Ye, rindu Malaysia la katakan, tengok hutan ala Malaysia pun jadilah... pengubat rindu T.T


Nah, air terjun. Aduh, dah lama tak tengok dan berkelah di kawasan air terjun.

Ada hutan buluh. It provides shade from the hot burning sun. Sangat menyamankan; nature's original air-conditioning system huhu. Sincerely, I didn't want to step outside of it coz it was a hot sunny day. Tapi, risau la pulak... bukan ke akan gatal-gatal badan kalau kena pokok buluh??

And then, we moved to the Mediterranean Biome. Izyan and I were so attached to the blooming flowers that we felt like spending the rest of the day there, admiring them. I'll upload the pictures in my Flickr account soon (^^)>``.

It's a wonderful experience. But, let's relate it to reality. Think about the global warming and drastic climate changing. How long do you think, mother earth could stand the pollution? Hey, manusia bukankah kena uruskan dunia nih sebaiknya? Bukankah tumbuhan-tumbuhan tu juga makhluk? Entah-entah, pada masa hadapan, tumbuh-tumbuhan cuma dapat hidup dalam kawasan yang terbina sebegini. But, trust me. Man-made wouldn't be the same like Allah's. Feel dia tak ada.

Baru-baru ini, saya berbual dengan seorang kawan tentang pengurusan sampah tempat saya bekerja. Saya kata, "Membazir betul. Setiap kali nak kemaskan bilik lain, kena tukar gloves and apron. Banyak betul sampah dalam satu hari."

Kawan saya kata, "Tapi, diorang RECYCLE. See, sistem diorang saling melengkapi. Terurus. Sebab tu, mungkin bagi orang-orang kat sini, benda tu tak nampak membazir. Bagi kita, ye la. tengok kat Malaysia. Makin banyak bahan dipakai, makin berlonggok sampah dekat tempat pembuangan sampah."

Oh. Betul juga. Hmm, tak payah tengok jauh. Saya sendiri tak recycle barang. Ada je tong-tong tersedia untuk plastic, paper and tin di depan rumah. Tapi, susahnya nak ubah mindset untuk buang benda alah tu ke dalam tong yang berkenaan. Pagi tadi, terdengar dari luar rumah, pak cik yang kutip bahan-bahan recycle mengeluh, "I hate it when they don't put the things into the plastic bags. They don't even care to use it."

Err...saya kaku dalam bilik; mute kan laptop- konon-konon tak ada orang dalam rumah. Malu sendiri. Ok, ok. Pas ni, kena buang sampah elok-elok. Mana yang boleh kita kitar semula, kita asingkan. Huhu.

Teringat pada Egypt; bak kata orang sana, sangat memalukan kalau buang sampah ke dalam tong sampah. Oh!! tak boleh terima T.T
