B. What do you think of this performance
I think it is interesting, fascinating and makes people think seriously.
makes people to really think hard what's going on in the world.
as we live everyday lives, what's on the other side of the world
what r those truths, facts having long been hidden from us
WHAT we haven't been informed of
yeah, it's time to THINK.
recently, "an inconvenient truth" released, people calling on people
to come forward to protect the environment, etc.
I think that it's good that people are taking action to protect the earth!
everyone has his way, and so does Blueman!

PART II
A. In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
I actullay pay attention to what's happening in the world.
so I read as much international news as possible everyday.
as a human being, I don't feel like existing if I don't know what's
going on out there. instinctively, I tend to read and listen to
international news. instinctively, I wanna share their pain and
suffering. I want them to know that I'm part of human beings, we are
all together on the planet. we should love each other and help each
other out. I think I am a global citizen coz I put my heart in the
world and I truly take action into caring this world.

B. How can you become a better global citizen?
while continuing on gaining knowledge of the world, I also share
information with friends and ask them to join in to become a better
global citizen.
I just checked the website of the inconvenient truth, and here's some
great advices to help improve the condition of the earth:
Use less hot water
It takes a lot of energy to heat water. You can use less hot water by
installing a low flow showerhead (350 pounds of carbon dioxide saved
per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds
saved per year) instead of hot.

Unplug electronics from the wall when you're not using them
Even when turned off, things like hairdryers, cell phone chargers and
televisions use energy. In fact, the energy used to keep display
clocks lit and memory chips working accounts for 5 percent of total
domestic energy consumption and spews 18 million tons of carbon into
the atmosphere every year!
