Earth Day!
What have we done to earth. We have populated the world with human. Destroy the inhabitant of the animals and tried very nicely clear cut the forests to establish human communities. What else? there are more, we have created trash everywhere we go, feel that streets and cities are the place that are the best place. Not knowing that if there is not any trash collection or food deliveries out and in to the city there will be no clean city.
Today was Earth day! The google logo has changed to reflect this very important statement.
I indicate this is a statement, because until there is no awareness around the globe, this is no real movement and it is just a statement.
So, having said that let's consider this fact that we are responsible for earth the only planet as far as we know that we can freely live on it.
The question is when we should move towards sustainable energies like wind and sun? today, tomorrow, when it is cheap? when do we get rid of energies like nuclear and oil which may poplut our planet in any matter of time.
I just took the questionnaire about how large of the global hectares it takes to support my foodprint and it turn out I need about 4.9 global hectares to support my life style!! Check out the webpage for Earth Day 2012.
Please think locally, act globally! don't trash on street. Try to turn off any extra lights. I know in North America and specifically in USA, they are wasting tons of energy, but then do your portion and save the earth for our future! :-) thanks

Hi Alireza, I might understand, but don't share your pessimistic view about the endangered nature. I think (and I hope I'm right) that nature is much stronger than we believe. And nature has a much greater potential to respond with great plasticity to any changes, much more flexible than human civilisation can do. The face of nature might change, some species might disappear and new ones might arise, just like mammals came after the dinosaurs, and like flowers arose after the fern trees became extinkt. Oceans will come and go, new mountains will grow and millions of years later washed away to the sea again. Glaciers will grow and shrink and grow again. And men will always overestimate its own role in this ever changing face of nature.
I didn't want to sound pessimistic, I just want to remind us that we should take care of ourselves before, nature does!
It is like cleaning a house, if we don't, house gets full of rubbish.
Dear Alireza, maybe your concern stems from the long time you already live in the west. And yes, on the earth surface, the technicized civilisation seems to push back nature more and more. But this is only on a very thin upper layer, and only in the highly developed countries. I just saw an amazing TV documentary about the magnificence of Irans wild nature. I put it on my website, where you can watch it. Enjoy.
