B) What do you think of this performance?

The world is developing continuously, but at the same time, we are damaging our own planet. If we keep on destroying it without stopping, disastrous effects will be the subsequences. From the video, what amazed me is beats of music. It gives me a deep impression about the how serious present problem is. I will not forget what they have done. The BLUEMEN succeed in conveying environmental friendly messages to us in this humorous way !



Part II About global citizenship


A) In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?

Once we have the right, we have the responsibility. If we want to have the right to live on the Earth, we have the duty to protect and maintain it. As a global citizen to the government of the Earth, we obey laws from the government; therefore, we should also obey the natural law.


B) How can you become a better global citizen?

In this case, I think the followings are a few practical ways to make me a global citizen:
1. don't buy excess food and cause wastage. just buy the amount you think you are able to eat.
2. as a student, it's easy for us not to waste papers.
3. use less tissue paper but using other things to substitute. such as handkerchief.
