Banjir yang sering terjadi di seluruh wilayah Indonesia terjadi bukan semata-mata salah alam, melainkan salah manusia itu sendiri yang sering buang sampah sembarangan secara berlebihan, menebang pohon secara besar-besaran tanpa melakukan reboisasi, dan masih banyak faktor lainnya yang memicu terjadinya banjir. Video ini menggambarkan secara singkat bagaimana banjir terjadi dan masyarakat yang kesulitan karena banjir menyadari bahwa untuk mengurangi banjir harus dilakukan dari hal-hal kecil seperti mengurangi sampah dan membiarkan pohon sekecil apapun tetap hidup. Bumi yang kita tinggali saat ini bukan hanya milik seorang dua orang melainkan milik banyak sekali orang yang nanti akan ditinggali anak cucu kita. Jika kita sebagai manusia -yang katanya makhluk Tuhan yang paling sempurna karena memiliki akal pikiran- hanya bisa merusak tanpa memperbaiki, bagaimana kita bisa hidup di masa yang akan mendatang? Jika Anda pernah nonton film Dr.Seuss: The Lorax, maka Anda akan mengerti bagaimana bumi saat ini sedang dalam proses menuju kehancuran.

Dracula - Chapter 1 The Road to Castle Dracula My name is Jonathan Harker. I am a lawyer and I live in London. About seven years ago, some strange and terrible things happened to me. Many of my dear friends were in danger too. At last we have decided to tell the story of that terrible time. Part of my work is to find houses in England for rich people who live in foreign countries. At the beginning of 1875, I received a letter from Transylvania, a country in Eastern Europe. The letter was from a rich man called Count Dracula. He wanted to buy a house near London. The Count ask me to find him an old house with a large garden. The price of the house was not important.
