A specie disappears every 20 minutes....

Somewhere on your planet, a specie goes extinct every 20 minutes. You do the math... that's 3 every hour, 74 every day, and nearly 27,000 every year.

Most of us didn't know. Most of us won't care. Most of those who do care, will do little or nothing.


Let's not be indifferent to those who share this world with us. You don't donate all your money. You don't have to go to the Amazon Rainforest. You don't have to adopt an Orangutan.


Small changes can make big differences.

Turn off electrical appliances when they are not in use. Don't waste paper. Don't wear pure leather/fur. Don't waste water. Don't waste food. Get into a car pool. Use public transport if it is viable.

You won't save the earth, you won't save a specie but at least you won't waste. You won't pollute. You won't add to so much that is already wrong in this world.

I agree. The sad part is that as our modern life has moved forward, the quantity of waste we generate or the amount of energy and resources we consume has also increased exponentially.

That's a good thought. If only we remembered...
