Global warming: A problem with solutions After years of debate, scientists now agree that we are indeed heating up the planet.
When we burn fossil fuels - such as oil, coal, and natural gas - to run our cars and light up our homes, we pump carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This thickens the heat-trapping blanket that surrounds our planet, causing global warming.
The effects are devastating - melting glaciers, rising sea level, changing ocean currents, shift in weather patterns, irreversible alteration of the eco-system and the extinction of plant and animal life, to list but a few.
Unless we take corrective steps now to curb global warming, our way of life, our planet and our children are all in grave danger.
Each of us can play a positive role by making simple changes to our lifestyle. There is a lot we can do.

"We have not inherited the earth from our ancestors. We have borrowed it from our children."
What makes 'The little green guide' special is that it's simple and very do-able. It makes you realize that there really is so much each of us can do, to make a difference. Truly a labour of love, Pravin! And I think it's great that you practice what you preach. More 'green' power to you!
ReplyDeleteFor those people who complain that they don't know how they can help conserve energy and resources, they just ran out of excuses. I hope people will learn from your example and try to incorporate at least a few of these simple tips to do their part. I am already doing my bit to help out. Let's go green! :)
