It is our BLUE planet. Live GREEN. And save earth being turned RED.
Shrinking habitats are a threat to both plants and animals, and endangered species need legal protection if they are to survive. Meanwhile, global warming will produce rising sea levels and climatic changes, and carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels are contributing to the greenhouse effect. In addition, population growth exerts severe pressure on finite resources, and ecological balance may be upset by uncontrolled deforestation. Demographic projections suggest the world population will grow before it begins to stabilize. One of the worst case scenarios is that there will be no tropical forest left by the year 2050. Our only hope is that pristine environments such as Antarctica can be protected from development and change.
Prophets of doom and gloom are always saying that we are heading for an environmental catastrophe’ and that unless we adopt a policy of sustainable development we will cause irreparable damage to the planet. The worst case scenario is of a world choked by overpopulation, the greenhouse effect and traffic gridlock. Much of what is claimed is exaggerated, but politicians are influenced by such voices and are always trying to improve their green credentials in the eyes of the voters.
