The Bluemen

Part I. about the bluemen performance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM-mfEMssy8)
A. Transcribe the complete text.
YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING EARTH AS YOUR PLANETARY VEHICLE
WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THE MANY WONDERFUL FEATURES OF THIS PLANET
AS YOU HURTLE THROUGH THE COSMOS
PLEASE NOTE
HOWEVER
THAT IN THE EVENT OF CONTINUED INACTION IN THE FACE OF GLOBAL WARMING
YOUR SEAT CUSHION CAN BE USED AS A FLOTATION DEVICE

ALSO
PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO LOCATE THIS PLANET'S EMERGENCY EXITS
AS YOU CAN SEE
THERE AREN'T ANY "EARTH" TO AMERICA!
CAN YOU HEAR?
SENDING OUT A MESSAGE
LOUD AND CLEAR

CAN YOU HEAR?

B. What do you think of this performance?
At first, I think the three bluemen are kind of weird. They look terrified and shake their heads with the tempo at times. But, after analysing the content, I discover something meaningful. The bluemen seem to symbolize the earth while the three kinds of pipes represent different meanings. As people using all the resources at will, the earth is facing a big challenge. Both the factory chimneys and the tailpipes will cause a crisis in "Global Warming"! Therefore, as you can see... one of the bluemen who wears snorkeling mask attempt to find an exit to live on earth. Although the video is very innovative, the way they present is a little bit abstract. I hope they can be more direct.

Part II about global citizenship
A. In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
On the direct side, I live on earth, and enjoy the use of resources on this planet. Meanwhile, I obey the laws which were made to restrict to people's behaviors. On the indirect side, I absorb various economic events and cultures from different countries. All of them let me be a real global citizen.

B. How can you become a better global citizen?
As the issues of "Global Warming" & "Environmental Protection" cause a great sensation, I think I can do following things:
‧Take the mass transit as much as possible to reduce the air pollution.
‧Use my own tableware to protect both my health and the environment.
‧3R-Reduce Recycle Reuse to achieve the goal of resources protection.

**Everyone should do the best to protect the earth!**
