We must nurture and sustain the planet for ourselves
and future generations. "Sustainabilty" is the key to our survival.
We must develop alternative energy resources which allow us to preserve the
ecosphere and sustain our planet.
We can make a
difference.
The
planet is warming.
Global warming is real.
Activities associated with
the industrial
revolution
have vastly changed
the environment.
Scientific evidence
reveals that human
beings
and their machines have
damaged the planet,
degraded the ecosphere,
polluted the air,
and
compromised our oceans.
These problems will not go
away by themselves.
