Keep it green! But what about them?


Hey guys, listen. You must have heard about the climate change thingy which is going on, have not you?? The G-8 summit, which was held between June6-8 in Germany was a platform, to discuss, among other things, the future of the climate of the World. Many proposals were put forward so as to how to control the climate.


But you see, these 13 men and women alone cannot do anything. It is up to you and me and the general public to take measures. These 13 people will not tell you off whenever you throw garbage on the street instead of the trash can. They cannot. But we people also have brains. It is common sense that throwing garbage around is baaad. But some people simply cannot follow this.I wonder why?



Here's a handy dandy link on the subject:
Can We Change the Climate? Visit it!


But, there's another side to this also. These advanced countries were once developing countries. They used to pollute the environment incessantly with their industries without any concern for global warming or climate change. They flourished this way. But now, do not the developing countries like Pakistan and India and several African nations have the right to do what the developed countries had done? Do not the Third World countries have a right to develop in the way these countries did?? Why are the developed countries putting pressure on poorer countries to curb global warming and use expensive alternative means of energy?? You know, this really baffles me!
