ADMT Lesson 1 Environment

Will human beings' selfish acts bring about the Earth's doom?

Of course its yes!

What we can we do to save the Earth?

I think we should all do our part and try to conserve our resources as they are very limited. Examples are oil and coal. I think sooner or later the Earth will be doomed. Its not a question of why, but when? We must apply the three r's: Reuse, Recycle and Reduce. We should stop cutting down trees and forests. I don't think we are doing enough to save our Earth. We have already passed the point of no return, and so we must slow down the process as much as possible.
