20091211的今天,是京都議定書滿十二週年的日子,
十二年過去了,當年出生的嬰孩如今已長成一個大孩子了,
而我們做了多少改變和努力以達成當年議定書中對碳排放量的協議呢? 

當地球的全球暖化問題真實地近在眼前迫在眉睫,
當全球的氣候變遷貨真價實地影響了過去幾百年的生態、景觀時,
我們該更積極地以具體的方式行動並身體力行的做出改變。
 
這不該只是為了往後三十年、五十年的政治、經濟、社會的權利,
而該是為了百年後的世世代代子子孫孫,
還有過去現在未來生活在這藍色星球的所有生物,無論單細胞多細胞
這顆美麗的藍色星球從來就不只屬於人類這項生物,
在人類耗用過多資源的今天,
我們該還給其它生物一個適合生存的星球。
而這一切都該由我們自身做起~It's us. 

1995
Michael Jackson 在英國發行了 Earth Song 單曲及MV,
這是第一支關懷地球與環境議題的音樂和影片,
在那個「溫室氣體」還是個新興名詞年代,
在那個「氣候暖化與變遷」尚在發展概念的時空下,

這首由 Michael Jackson 本人親自作詞作曲的樂曲,
如今再一次聽來格外令人動容與深刻。
