"Equal Rights. Equal Opportunities."
They say that God created us EQUALLY, loves us EQUALLY, and looks upon us EQUALLY. In God's eyes, we are EQUAL. But in reality, in what I can observe in our community, there is NO EQUALITY at all.
Poor, rich, gay, lesbian, boy, girl, weak, strong, beautiful, ugly. These are some of the differences we have. There are those we see as higher things and there are those we see as the lower things. Most that belong to the higher group are treated very well and as for those who are in the lower group, treated not that well.
We have OUR RIGHTS to fight for. However, those who are greedy, use their powers to be higher or make others down. Crab mentality as they say.
For example, when they are fights between a rich and a poor, the rich one will win. Why? Not because they are innocent but because of MONEY. Because of their POWER. Now, the poor one will be dumped in the jail and pay for something that he or she did not do.
Another is when you go to malls. They will give their best service to those who looks sophisticated while as for those who looks "disgusting," they won't treat you well and sometimes they accuse you of stealing.
Also in jobs. They will hire you sometimes because of your good looks.
There is a big DISCRIMINATION written on our community if that's the case. No equal opportunities for all of us.
Before, girls were just in houses, no chance of going to school and experience going out. While for the boys, they have given all the privileges to do what they want.
But that were just BEFORE. Now, we have this GENDER AWARENESS. What the boys can do, the girls can also do. Sometimes, girls are also better than boys.
As a conclusion to this, either boy or girl, ugly or pretty, gay or lesbian. Whatever we may be, as long as we know we have our right, we must fight for it and the opportunities are open for all of us so NO one is allowed to take it from us.

Act Now!
Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions, or in the distribution of weather around the average conditions (i.e., more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change is caused by factors that include oceanic processes (such as oceanic circulation), variations in solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics and volcanic eruptions, and human-induced alterations of the natural world; these latter effects are currently causing global warming, and "climate change" is often used to describe human-specific impacts.
Defined by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change
We are now experiencing this what we call CLIMATE CHANGE.
But then, there are things we can do in respond to this.
Planting trees. If we can notice, the mountains are now brown, meaning, there is deforestation. Cutting down trees without planting in return. Because of that, when it rains heavily, landslides easily occurs. There are no more trees to hold the ground. Also, leaves of trees traps the excess carbon dioxide in the air. Carbon dioxide is known to make the ozone layer thin and the sun's harmful UV rays can pass. Ozone layer protects us. Since it is now thin, we must take action for this. Plant trees.
Don't burn plastics. Plastics are used in almost everything. When we go to the market, plastics are used. But then, plastics are hard to decompose. It takes years for them to decompose. Many burn plastics which is not good. Plastics produced black smoke that contains carbon dioxide. As aforementioned, excessive carbon dioxide makes the ozone layer thin and warms the Earth.
Don't throw waste in the bodies of water. Water is a basic need of us humans. In drinking, to quench our thirst, in washing our clothes in order for us to use them again, also in washing our dishes. Because of its importance, we MUST take care of our water. Many diseases have been spread because of drinking dirty water. And when heavy rains come, floods easily occur because the plastics clogged the passageway of water.
Let us all be ECO-WARRIORS.
Let us help.
In those simple things we do, MANY will be BENEFITED. Not just YOU, your FAMILY but the WHOLE COMMUNITY.
ACT NOW!
