Without nature and wildlife, humans would cease to exist. As a species, we are becoming far more aware of the affect that our lifestyle is having on the planet.
"An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore explains these problems in a very clear manner, and it also offers simple, effective ways for each and every single one of us to reduce the negative impact on our environment. We must create a balance between the needs of humans and of nature and wildlife.
Let us all take responsibility together for what happens to our home, and protect it for future generations.
Since 1950 our roles in society have changed from being parents, teachers, nurses, farmers, ... into that of being consumers. Consumerology is the new religion that everyone is strongly encouraged to aspire to. We get bombarded by clever marketing (ads) that tells us how bad we are. They promise us the perfect solution. This treadmill never ends. Neither we nor the planet can keep up with our rate of consumption, or the methods of production.
We need to change this!
