Wildstix's log, stardate 62772.4

Some people on earth considers today is Earth Day, but I think we should expand this idea to a more general and simpler. I don't know exactly how since I'm not an environmentalist, I just knew it.
Today, my wife and I walked from our church to the street food outlets nearby and we saw some people burning the trash. It caused a terrible smoke, clearly polluting the air and in turn it also increasing carbon in our atmosphere. My God! Those people are burning trash right on Earth Day! This is what I meant of expanding the idea.
The earth is getting warmer and it will heal itself, but the healing process won't be nice for mankind. Some say we almost hit the jackpot, some others believe we've hit the jackpot but not yet to the full capacity and we still have time to make it right. I don't know about you scientists, but I think we've hit the jackpot and we're getting its full impact right now.Why?

I live in Jakarta, Indonesia and there has never been any reports of twister or tornado in Jakarta or surrounding area. But in the last four years, there has been numerous reports of twister cases in Jakarta and adjacent area. The latest one happened yesterday.
The twister hit, collapsing dozens of homes and ripped the roof a gas station (I saw the picture). It was not supposed to happen here but it did!

Just ask yourself, where are we right now?

people really are very mean to this earth. nowadays people still like to throw away the trash on the road or in the public transportation because they can't find no trashcan. but if i were in that situation, i usually hold the trash until i find a proper place for it or i keep the trash and put in in my bag, and throw it to the trashcan as soon as i get back to my house so i wont litter the environment. even sometimes my own bag become a trashcan because i forget to take it out :p

and you mentioned 'twister'
where can i see the picture?
