    Well said Fr. Richard - 100% correct. I agree with you in toto - everybody has to play their role, in safeguarding the environment and protecting the last of the remaining greenery, else we are doomed. Needless to say, efforts being carried out at the eleventh hour by the G7 countries are still turning futile since some insane countries do not believe in the greening philosophy. We are wasting time convincing them. Regrettably, the world is not seeing a in the ozone layers thereby putting us at a vulnerable risk to ultra-violet radiations and overheating of the earth''s troposphere. Needless to say, out of our unending crave and selfishness, we need to blame ourselves for destroying the flora and fauna of the vast greenery that once existed. One way or the other, we are all mute witnesses to sudden climatic changes affecting our lifestyle. Alarm bells are sounding over us. It is time to act. We cannot afford to say anymore "Who cares"
