Don't worry guys, the earth is not in trouble, despite of global warming and climate change and mass extinctions and resource shortages, the earth would not be affected...
Might as well throw in some volcanoes blowing their tops, or an asteroid collision or two, the earth would probably continue existing...

Because contrary to what you may think, the earth is a survivor... It has survived numerous global disasters (ice ages, asteroids, etc...) and went through numerous mass extinctions... So don't worry about the earth =)

Humankind and life as we know it, on the other hand, wouldn't probably survive for long if the current trend on the face of the earth continues...

So... we probably wouldn't need to save the earth (I doubt we would be able to even if we seriously tried), what we need to do is to save ourselves and our ecosystem (the living environment where we live in).



There is no way in heaven or 'the other place' that mankind would be able to convert the environment into a pristine state, not even if tomorrow suddenly all nations decide to go "green", the damage has already been done... What's left to do now is damage control, and try not to exacerbate it...

How can you help, you might ask? By doing little things that you can do. Turn off the lights when you're not in the room, take cold showers (or take less showers =P), etc etc, anything you can do in your household or around you.
Because every little thing counts, for every big thing starts from something small =)
