environment

As many of you know, the actions of mankind is having a major impact upon the environment. If we do not do something about this now, global warming will wreak havoc upon the earth. I want to start a healthy debate about what should be done (if anything should be done). Please try to refrain yourslf from writing one line answers such as 'I don't give a stuff' or 'action must be taken!'. Please try to explain yourself.

yh there r a lot f ways. except ppl always go 4 the easy option which is ruining the enviroment.

yh. there r betta ways that naina_manam has mentioned a few

A very interesting topic.
I think awareness about conservation is important, If we are cutting four trees, plant 8 trees. Then Pollution is the biggest problem in India. I will give u the example of Delhi the level was high here but since a couple of years the level has gone down. The reason much was done to increase awareness, the vehicular pollution was brought down by insisting that auto's use cng and private vehicles comply by Euro norms.
In between there was lot of controversy generated should use of Diesel be banned altogether etc?
Then there is a very bad habit in most Indian cities, the gardner will pile the garbage and then burn it, little realising that it impacts the ozone layer.
We do not have a system of segregation of waste and as such it is a common sight to see huge mounds of waste dumped in the outskirts of the cities. We have brought the dump outside cleaned the cities ok but what about the country side?
We need to tackle these problems which are basic in nature then we can move to the KYOTO PROTOCOL and the international view pt.
