How do you participate in saving the Earth?
First of all, it's safe to say that we're definitely going to face the music for our attitude to Mother Nature. I can only speak for two countries – Russia and Ukraine as the environmental situation is pretty much the same here. What do I actually mean by saying that we're going to face the music?
Let's face some facts:
- we drop litter on the streets
- we overconsume scarce resources
- we contaminate water and air
Nevertheless, there are still numerous organizations striving to mitigate some of the damage inflicted by our flippant attitude to our planet.
Speaking for myself, I don't fall into the group of staunch environmentalists. Yet, I have always done my utmost to adopt a sensible approach to the world we live in.
If only we at least stopped contributing to environmental degradation and recognized that it's our human duty, all inhabitants of our planet would greatly benefit from that. As the old saying goes, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you".
