AsiaOne Launches EarthOne: A New Green Horizon
Hey planet lovers! AsiaOne’s fresh EarthOne section has just sprouted onto the web, and it’s all about the planet we’re given – because we really care about Earth and trust the science that backs it.
Forget the buzz‑words, EarthOne is your go‑to spot for climate headlines, eco‑tips, and inspiring stories that remind us we’re in this together.
Unleashing Global Voices at the UN
Imagine a stage where a Korean pop sensation and an American poet come together to shout about climate action – that’s exactly what happened on Monday at the UN General Assembly in New York.
- Blackpink, the powerhouse K‑pop group, stepped onto the stage in full UN sustainability‑support style.
- Amanda Gorman, the eloquent poet who made her mark at the 2022 U.S. inauguration, performed a brand‑new poem.
- Both stars aimed to rally the world to beat climate missteps, and kick‑start the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the UN in 2015.
What the Four-Hour Performance Was About
Blackpink’s four members— each a UN advocate—mix music and messages about:
- Cutting down energy consumption (turn that off, who needs that extra watt?)
- Eating locally (fresh produce beats shipping inoffably)
- Shrinking food waste (one bite at a time, please!)
Jennie Kim, the group’s front‑girl, was all about the future: “We must seize this moment and take actions to create a world that is more sustainable and leave no one behind.”
Gorman’s “Speak to the Planet” Poem
Her verses fell through the glowing UN chamber like a gentle prayer:
“I only ask that you care before it’s too late, that you live aware and awake, that you lead with love in hours of hate.
I challenge you to heed this call, I dare you to shape our fate.
Above all, I dare you to do good, so that the world might great.”
The applause that followed? An RSVP from the globe itself, begging us to act before the next climate crisis hits.
The Big Picture—Why It Matters
A UN climate science panel hammered home the point: we need to slash fossil‑fuel emissions like the pressure cooker’s on day one.
UN Secretary‑General Antonio Guterres weighed in, saying: “Young people are demanding action – not only for themselves, but for future generations. The perils we face are no match for a world united, so let’s get to work. Let’s get our world back on track.”
