Poster of The Day after Tomorrow

Volcano eruption, climate anomaly, earthquakes are here and there. It seems that 2012 is just around the corner. When Poland people dwelt on their departed President, a rumor emerged which said the President actually didn’t board the plane, but secretly went to the Big Boat instead.
Obviously, most people take the rumor as a joke, but it reveals people’s panic. Our mother earth is in trouble.

Are human beings mighty enough to reverse the track of our planet of earth? I’m not sure. What I am sure is that it is our industrialization drive modernization drive that leads to the deterioration of the environment. No one wants to be a loser, nor does any country. Competition, expansion, exploitation, we are on a treadmill with the purpose of being faster, higher, stronger. Olympic spirit is not exclusively shown on track and field playground, but on also on international stages. As a matter of fact, we are in race with our future.

A dolphin’s smile is nature’s greatest deception, it creates the illusion they’re always happy.

Nothing is as misleading as the gorgeous scenery along the coast of Japan near Taiji. As an unsuspecting tourist I would not have the vaguest inkling of the brutal slaughter that takes place yearly right under people’s noses.
Produced by the Oceanic Preservation Society, “The Cove” tells the story of O’Barry’s mission to obtain hard evidence of what goes on in Taiji and exposed it to the public. “The Cove” is much more a spy thriller than just a record of that adventure. When the director Louie Psihoyos slipped into the little coastal town of Taiji, Japan, it was under cover of documenting the degradation of ocean reefs. Those men — perhaps cops, perhaps worse — trailed Mr. Psihoyos and his crew unrelentingly, determined to prevent anyone from filming the enormously lucrative dolphin capture and slaughter that support the town’s economy and employ its fishermen.
