The question is simply as old as Socrates: if we know what the right thing to do is, why do we not do it? It's an especially acute question when applied to global warming. The science showing that carbon-dioxide emissions are already changing the earth's climate, and are likely to have severe effects ( melting ice sea-level rise, extinction of many kinds of birds & animals ), is now barely disputed like it's not our planet or we do have an alternative planet to go And yet, as was widely discussed at a conference of environmentalists, geologists and writers held in Germany, public understanding has not translated into even the simplest of public actions. Less than 1% of Britons, for example, have switched their home electricity to renewable sources, even though it requires little more than a phone call to one's existing provider at least they have a way to save the earth. While here in Egypt still discussing the concepts and no body seems to care well I wanna talk about those who had informed by the concepts and the methods by they still too sluggish to move a finger. Why the disconnection between information and action? Part of the problem is that environmental upholder release mixed messages. In mid-May, the Guardian published a front-page story showing that five companies in Britain produce more co2 pollution in a year than all the country's motorists combined!! That's a strong argument for targeting industry, but the average reader could hardly be blamed for thinking, "Why should I bother to cut down my driving?" as long as big institutions don't even bother. Similarly, not enough thought has been dedicated to the best role for government. Climate change is too vast a problem for individuals to solve alone, while big businesses have an incentive not to solve it. But I have to admit that it is a little tricky, because over reliance on government can allow individuals to drop their own role. What's worse, government power seems to tickle autocratic fantasies. I see that environmentalists spend far too much energy upholding hard-line governmental solutions that don't stand a chance of being enacted. Climate change may be a frightening, but its worst effects will not be felt next week or next year. The planet looks the same whether I buy a sky-choking gasoline-powered car or an electric hybrid - except that I've to waste a lot of money And so there's something that governments and environmentalists ought to agree on, right now: give consumers a motivation to go green. Clean otherwise we some day – and I think it came so near- we gonna search for a whole new planet to live in. people all what I'm asking for is a little caution I know we all spending like 2 hours daily to make our own house looks better just spend 30 minutes on doing for earth's good Mother earth we are sorry, deeply sorry but we are too lazy to move a toe towards your good it's easy to feel sorry than be possitive i've tried but i found out that i'm plowing da water,,, just plowing da water. |
