That was a good and fun choice, if not that wise, as most people around me might say. To become a Greenpeace volunteer to go to the Paradise Forests is also a choice, which, I believe, is good, fun and also wise.<\/p>\n<p>I simply do not want to feel guilty for being part of the destruction of the earth. I do not want to wake up in the morning and know that the floors underneath me are the very reason some people and animals have lost their homes. I do not want to talk to my three-year-old daughter and look directly into her innocent and hopeful eyes and tell her that orangutans have become only fairy tales.<\/p>\n<p>That is why it is time that we all started to do something. Something real.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine how boring life &#8211; and our hearing &#8211; would be if in ten years all the ancient forests were wiped off the earth, along with all the forest lives, including the unknown ones, and the forest sounds.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine how boring life and our hearing would be if tomorrow when you woke up there had never been nor would there ever be any music.<\/p>\n<p>For me, music is a belief, so are green and peace.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\"Catcher in the Rye\" lead singer Xiao Wei will be travelling to Papua New Guinea as a volunteer from May 11 to May 23 to support the efforts of the Greenpeace team currently based in the rainforest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 -
