Hi.I'm extremely concerned about all the current environmental issues.So i make it a point to regularly spread awareness,lead a good example and urge people to wake up and do something before the situation gets out of hand!I don't mean to lecture you but really,take this as a wake up call.I was just thinking of all the effects of pollution.Things like global warming and respiratory diseases were non-existent sometime back.I want to encourage you today to do whatever you can-even if its something as small as servicing your bike regularly,reducing the use of generators,conserving power,even planting trees or tending to the trees in your vicinity.Whatever it is you can do-please do it,you'll be doing us all a big,huge favor.I try not to use my vehicle where its possible to walk or cycle.Thats good too.Buying refrigerators that don't give out CFC.And many more small things.I need your help to save our environment.I don't know if you got everything i said but if you did,in honor of that,lets all celebrate environment protection day where we can all do something for the environment and spread awareness and discuss it later.How about we do it on the 20th of june?Please tell everyone you know.Lets do something for our environment before it gets too late.Thanks!

hey there fellow planeteer.. its good to know that there are still other people who cares for the environment. i've been doing my share of the environment too, like throwing garbages in the garbage cans and not just anywhere on the street, turning the lights off when not in use, and other small stuffs.. like last earth day, we turned (our) power off for one whole hour just to participate in such event... hope there will be much more projects in saving the environment and that these will enable the people to live in such a way that is helpful to mother nature..
more power to you..and please do continue to spread the word..c",)

Hi there.Its always nice to hear of the things people do for our environment.You can form a league with all your friends that side who are interested and do many great things.On the very urgent list-to-do is preventing further pollution and damage to the ozone layer.You and your friends could probably tell on shopkeepers who still distribute polythene bags and sread awareness of the need to stop littering.Take care and see you around!

Its really a serious problem.I'm also concerned about it,not only my country,but also the whole world. Just like global warming and acid rain,which are coursed by the pollution.yeh,it's too late to pay any attention on this issues when some catastrophes happen.
I have tried to do something and i have warn my friends when they did sth wrong.But,I consider most people have no sense on it.I can still see people throw rubbish without extra trouble.
How I wish I can do more to help to save the environment.

Thank you for being concerned.You are already doing your part but if you wish to theres a lot more things you can be a part of.Like for instance,a few friends of mine and me have formed a group.We plant trees as often as possible,say NO to plastic bags from shopkeepers.We also stopped the shopkeepers from keeping and distributing these polythene bags.We made them bags out of paper and gave it to them instead.We tell everyone we know not to litter.And even using bulbs that are power conserving.Try it yourself.Show people that it is really serious and you care.They will follow your lead.Thanks so much!

I am using energy saving lightbulbs and I'm not throwing anything on the ground ^^. Always to the dampster. I am not sorting my garbages, couse it have no sense for me. Even if I would do that it all goes to the same place in my city(maybe whole country even). I've checked it. Just everything in my canister and end of the sorting story. It's really made me mad when I find that out. Cheers and happy myloting.
