The long-overdue amends

We’ve all heard it once or twice in the news or read it in an Instagram story that we have around 11-12 years to change the planet before the ice caps melt and the turtles disappear, before the planet crashes and burns. The doomsday clock is closer than ever to striking 12 and we are at the edge of catastrophe. Check out Apartments for sale in Whitefield

The media and politics may have distracted us by playing the blame game and pointing fingers at matters that are less pressing. The responsibility falls on all of us, now, to change. Change our lifestyles. Change even the tiniest habits that we might assume harmless, but when tons of people do tiny acts of harm it affects nature drastically. Climate change is the biggest threat we are facing right now, it may not be obvious, but climate change possesses a much, much bigger threat to humanity than the coronavirus.

We have all learnt about living sustainably in schools, about protecting, and preserving resources for our future generation. With the way that things are going, we might as well be the last generation to walk the planet. We must start thinking about how we will survive the next decade rather than how our future generation will survive.
