go green!!

salam. i felt the urge to write this post after reading this article:


hundreds of whales died just like that. plus, one of the activists mentioned that he could even see the suffering in their eyes. for an animal lover like me, this is really a sad news.

هُوَ الَّذِى خَلَقَ لَكُم مَّا فِى الاٌّرْضِ جَمِيعاً ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى إِلَى السَّمَآءِ فَسَوَّاهُنَّ
سَبْعَ سَمَـوَاتٍ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

He it is Who created for you all that is on earth. Then He Istawa ila
the heaven and made them seven heavens and He is the Knower of everything. (2:29)

and the heaven He has raised high, and He has set up the balance. in order you that may not transgress (due) balance. and observe the weight with equity and do not make the balance deficient. and the earth He has put for the creatures (55: 7-9)

this earth is His beautiful gift for us. He purposely made it for us. He gives it to us for free. then it's our responsibility as His servants to take care of it. the vast land, the blue sea, the clear sky. i'm sure no one would want to lose them. then, let's play our part in improving this. an individual's effort might be small, but it'll have a huge impact if we do it together and with consistence. here are some that i can think of

1. use fan instead of air-cond (we dont want cfc in the air ;P)
2. do not open your fridge for too long (cfc again)
3. just walk to the night market in your neighbourhood. (ouch)
if you can walk to a place, then do it. (considering the insecure environment in Malaysia,
this might be a bit difficult)
4. think twice before you wanna use your car (we're running out of petrol!)
5. bring your own bag while shopping ("no plastic please" )

and the list goes on...you may not see the impact immediately, but remember that He is always looking at our efforts. that's the beauty of islam. let's go greeen everyone ^_^
