14 langkah perubahan menuju hidup yang lebih baik, berkualitas dan ramah lingkungan


 Masalah Global warming atau pemanasan global memang sudah tidak asing lagi, penyebabnya tidak lain berasal dari manusia sendiri. Global warming terjadi karena adanya EFEK RUMAH KACA dimana panas yang diterima bumi dari sinar matahari yang seharusnya di pantulkan kembali ke luar angkasa, itu malah dipantulkan kembali ke bumi oleh adanya awan polusi.
Sebenarnya ada bermacam cara memperlambat dampak pemanasan global, cara-cara tersebut umumnya mudah dan sederhana. Tetapi kurang dilakukan secara serius oleh kebanyakan orang. Padahal pemanasan global adalah masalah yang serius. Suhu Bumi yang terus meningkat akan ber efek panjangnya musim kering atau kemarau. Mencairnya gunungan es di kutub. Naiknya permukaan air laut. Dan sulitnya mencari sumber mata air. Kalau sudah begitu siapa coba yang tanggung jawab? Berhubung Masih belum terlalu parah efeknya, mari kita lakukan 14 langkah perubahan menuju hidup yang lebih baik, berkualitas  dan ramah lingkungan.

1. Batasi Penggunaan kertas
Tanamkan di pikiran anda kuat-kuat, bahwa setiap anda menggunakan selembar kertas maka anda telah menebang sebatang pohon. Oleh karena itu gunakan kertas se-efektif mungkin misalnya dengan mencetak print out bolak-balik pada setiap kertas. Bila anda nge-print sesuatu yang tidak terlalu penting, gunakanlah kertas bekas yang dibaliknya masih kosong.

2. Ganti bola lampu.
Segera ganti bola lampu pijar anda dengan lampu neon. Lampu neon ini membutuhkan energi yang lebih sedikit dibanding lampu pijar. Ingat setiap daya daya listrik yang anda pakai maka anda turut serta menghabiskan sumber daya energi listrik yang kebanyakan berbahan bakar fosil. Bahan bakar fosil adalah bahan bakar tak terbarukan, dan dalam jangka sepuluh tahun ke depan mungkin bahan bakar jenis ini akan habis.

3. Hindari Screen Saver
Shut down Komputer anda jika tidak akan digunakan dalam jangka lama, atau jika anda terpaksa meninggalkan komputer dalam keadaan menyala, matikan screen saver. Mengaktifkan screen saver akan memakan energi dan mengeluarkan emisi Co2. Jadi matikan screen saver anda sekarang!

4. Periksa tekanan ban
Setiap anda ingin bepergian janagn lupa memeriksa tekanan ban kendaraan anda. ban yang kurang angin akan memperlambat laju kendaraan dan akhirnya akan membutuhkan bahan bakar yang lebih banyak.

5. Buka jendela lebar-lebar
Di  Amerika , sebagian besar dari 22,7 ton emisi CO2 berasal dari rumah. Kebanyakan emisi atau gas buang tersebut berasal dari AC, kulkas, kompor gas atau refrigerator. Unutk meminimalkannya ketika dapat mengatur termostat AC dengan suhu udara di luar ruangan. Kemudian bukalah jendela lebar-lebar karena sirkulasi udara yang terjebak dapat  mengkonsumsi energi.

6. Gunakan pupuk organik.
Pupuk yang digunakan kebanyakan petani mengandung unsur nitrogen,  yang kemudian berubah menjadi N2O yang menimbulkan efek GRK (Gas Rumah Kaca) 320 kali lebih besar dari pada CO2. Jika anda hobi berkebun gunakanlah pupuk organik. Disamping aman, murah pula.

7. Tanamlah rumpun bambu
Pepohonan memang terbukti mampu menyerap CO2, tetapi ternyata pohon atau rumpun bambu mampu menyerap CO2 empat kali lebih banyak dari pohon-pohon lain.

8. Naik kendaraan umum
Saat ini jumlah kendaraan pribadi sudah teramat banyak dan bikin sumpek. Sector transportasi menyumbang sampai 14 %  emisi gas rumah kaca ke atmosfer, jika kita menggunakan kendaran umum maka kita mengurangi emisi gas rumah kaca, karena dalam satu kendaraan umum bisa mengangkut puluhan orang, dan itu sangat hemat energi. Dibandingkan dengan kendaraan pribadi sperti sedan yang hanya mengangkut maksimal empat orang.

9. Kurangi makan daging sapi
Betul, kurangi dari sekarang memakan daging sapi. Selain megandung kalori y ang tinggi. Daging sapi juga menyumbang emisi gas rumah kaca yang cukup signifikan. Setiap kilogaram daging sapi yang kita makan, setara dengan menyalakan bola lampu 20 watt selama 20 hari.

10. Jangan pakai kantong plastik
Di beberapa Negara bagian Amerika, urusan kantong plastik bahkan sampai dibuat undang-undangnya segala. LSM peduli lingkungan mendorong pemerintah Negara setempat unutk melarang penggunaan kantong plastic sebagai kantong belanjaan. Plastik ini memang unsur yang sulit terurai, butuh 1000 tahun untuk mengurainya didalam tanah.
Efek Gas rumah kaca yang ditimbulkannya juga cukup besar. Maka beralihlah ke kantong kain, misal dari kain serat alami.

11. Membeli produk lokal
Produk lokal tentu tidak memerlukan jalur distribusi yang panjang dan membutuhkan banyak bahan bakar. Ini berarti mengurangi emisi CO2 yang dikeluarkan mobil-mobil pengangkutnya. Kemudian belilah produk sayuran atau buah-buahan sesuai musimnya. Ini akan menghemat biaya transportasi dan menghindari harga jual yang mahal.

12. Hidup efisien
Apapun aktifitas manusia di bumi akan berdampak pada bumi yang kita diami ini. Pola komsumsi energi, pola lingkungan dan sebagainya. Hiduplah seefisien mungkin, gunakan sedikit energi, komsumsilah sedikit makanan, tinggalkan pola hidup konsumtif, ramahlah terhadap lingkungan, sedikit bicara lebih banyak berpikir, dan sebagainya.

13. Mengemudi cerdas
Hindari perjalanan yang panjang dan menghabiskan waktu, bila mungkin memotong jalan lakukanlah. Kurangilah aktifitas yang menggunakan kendaraan pribadi. Jika terpaksa menggunakan kendaraan pribadi, pilihlah jalan-jalan alternative yang bebas macet dan tidak mengkonsumsi energi. Bila anda menunggu, matikan mesin sebab gas buangan tetap keluar sementara bahan bahan bakar terpakai.

14. Pakai baju bekas
Sekarang bukan jamannya gengsi, toh kita mati tidak membawa gengsi. Tak perlu malu memakai baju bekas atau baju warisan orang tua. Dengan mengurangi membeli pakaian baru maka anda membantu mengurangi pemakaian listrik di pabrik pakaian.
Apalagi banyak bahan kain sintetis yang mengandung minyak bumi. Bahkan katun yang berasal dari kapas ternyata mengandung pestisida.

Cinderella III: A Twisted in a Time

Cinderella and Prince Charming are celebrating their anniversary when Fairy Godmother accidentally loses her wand to Anastasia. She immediately takes it to Lady Tremaine and Drizella who learn the power of the wand and how to wield it properly. The villains reverse time to before Cinderella tried on the slipper. By using magic, the slipper is able to fit Anastasia. Cinderella tries to convince Lady Tremaine that the slipper belongs to her by showing her the other. Instead, Lady Tremaine calls her night with Prince Charming nothing more than a dream and destroys the other slipper. Cinderella is left at the château while her stepmother, sister, and Lucifer, make way to the castle to meet her prince. Devastated and confused, Cinderella begins to attend to her normal duties but regains her confidence and decides to meet with the prince herself knowing he should recognize her when he sees her. Cinderella, Jaq, Gus, and two bluebirds, sneak into the palace and begin their search.
When she finally bumps into him however, he fails to recognize her. Heartbroken, Cinderella tears at the loss of her love. Jaq and Gus arrive to expose Lady Tremaine's villainy. Upon finding out that Lady Tremaine used the wand to wipe Charming's memory of Cinderella and make him believe Anastasia was the one he danced with, Cinderella forgets her sorrows and jumps into action. At Lady Tremaine's room, Jaq and Gus sneak in to grab the wand. They are almost exposed by Lucifer until Cinderella enters disguised as a maid. Lady Tremaine discovers her anyway and a chase follows. Jaq and Gus hand the wand to Cinderella but before she could flip the spell, the guards arrest her. Lady Tremaine regains the wand and orders the guards to send Cinderella to the next ship leaving the kingdom to have her banished.
Jaq, Gus, and the bluebirds meet up with Charming. He finds his memory again and begins to remember Cinderella. He rushes off on his horse to rescue her before the ship sets sail.

There, the King orders the Grand Duke and the guards to search the castle for the stepfamily to have them arrested. As Cinderella is preparing for her wedding which is to occur that night, Lady Tremaine and Lucifer appear out of the shadows. Tremaine transforms Anastasia into a beautiful and exact copy of Cinderella and plans to have her marry Charming in her place. Tremaine then sends Cinderella, Jaq, and Gus to be killed by a human Lucifer.

Still, Cinderella manages to escape her death and uses her time to make way to the castle. Charming and "Cinderella" are ready to marry but Anastasia refuses and reveals herself. Enraged, Lady Tremaine becomes mad with power as the guards prepare to arrest them. She turns them into animals and decides to turn Anastasia into a toad. Cinderella blocks her path making Tremaine much more comfortable with the process. Using his sword, Charming blocks the magic and repels it to Tremaine and Drizella. They are transformed into toads themselves and end up in the palace's basement. Cinderella and Charming marry while Anastasia transforms into her ordinary self. The King welcomes Anastasia into the palace putting aside the past. Together, Cinderella and Anastasia return the Fairy Godmother and the wedding continues.

Cinderella

Cinderella is the main protagonist of Disney's 1950 animated feature film with the same name and its two sequels. She was voiced by the late Ilene Woods in the original film and by Jennifer Hale in the sequels and in current appearances. She is the second Disney Princess by chronological order and the oldest by age, her age being 19.

Personality

Cinderella's mother passed away an indeterminate time prior to the beginning of the story portrayed in the film. In the intervening time, her father married Lady Tremaine, who became Cinderella's stepmother. After the death of Cinderella's father, Lady Tremaine forced Cinderella to serve the household as an ill-treated servant, which earned Lady Tremaine the distinction of being an "evil stepmother".
She worked in the kitchen; her only friends were Major the horse, Bruno the bloodhound, Jaq, Gus, her Fairy Godmother and a few more mice friends all of whom helped her go to the ball. At the end of the first movie, she marries Prince Charming.
Cinderella is a headstrong and independent young woman who is truly beautiful because she doesn't let her anger and sorrow get the better of her. She is kind to most and is in no way depicted as naive or childish. She is extremely mature and has shown that she can overcome her obstacles without the aid of magic. She has also been shown to have a slight sarcastic side to her, as seen in her comments about her step-family and Lucifer, but usually keeping such comments to herself. Cinderella has shown to be rather intelligent and/or clever especially thinking of how poorly raised she was after the absence of her parents. She is also resourceful by using her mother's old fashioned dress and imagining a beautiful ball gown. She has also shown that she is very patient and calm.
While her love for Prince Charming is incredibly strong, prior to them meeting each other on the night of the ball, marrying and/or finding her "prince" was not her main priority. As opposed to earlier princess Snow White, Cinderella simply wanted to live a better life and escape the harsh world of her wicked stepmother and sisters.

Physical Appearance

Cinderella is a beautiful young woman. She is tall, slender and softly shaped with a mild face. Her skin is fair, with pink lips and twinkling blue eyes. Cinderella's hair is strawberry-blonde in color, and shoulder-length with soft bangs.
Before her Fairy Godmother, she was often seen in a maid's outfit. She wore a dark brown shirt with blue/green sleeves and a skirt with a lighter shade of brown. Her hair was tied together in a large blue bow. She once wore a frilly sleeveless pink and white gown with pink ribbons before her step-sisters tore it up. As a princess, she wore a sparkling light blue dress with white petticoat. Her glass slippers are topped with a sparkling glass heart shape. Her hair was put into a bun with a light blue band over it and a black choker around her neck and long opera gloves were added too.
