Borrowed some Nat Geo mags from the library last week and was reading the June 2007 issue today. The issue featured two articles on global warming.

“Life At the Edge” is especially heartwrenching, as it shows the direct impact that global warming is causing to the helpless life in the Arctic. According to the mag, “The Poles are melting at an alarming rate; as global warming grinds on, the possibility of an ice-free Arctic, at least during the summer, creeps closer each day… Some scientists even believe the Arctic will be void of summer ice, dooming species such as polar bears to extinction in less than a century.”
I cannot imagine a world without polar bears.
I’m not sure how much of the info on gobal warming on the net is true, and how much is blown up. But, I think that subconsciously, every human being knows that he/she has to do much more to help the earth.
I’ll start by never taking the taxi (unless I’m having a crazy tummy ache and there isn’t a toilet within a 2km radius!), never taking excessive plastic bags, never turning on the aircon unless it’s 32 degrees outside, and turning off the lights when not in use.
