As soon as the word "environment" is mentioned I see so many people switch off. And it is no wonder. So many who are enthused about and concerned for the environment might end up sounding just a tiny touch preachy. I am probably guilty too.
Keeping that in mind I've written a post that I hope is informative and not preachy. It discusses our way of life today, in the 21st century, and weighs up why that is under threat from the very activities that have made life comfortable so far. Do we have to give up our activities to try and clean
up our environment and improve our health? Isn't there any other option?
I was pleased when Green Dream Foundation, India, published my post. Please head on over to their website to read it. They (and I) will appreciate your thoughts, comments and opinions on this and other articles on the environment.

ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea and needs a separate post. Here's one on "Making Informed Choices" that explains what we, businesses and the government can do. http://nevermindyaar.blogspot.co.nz/2011/01/making-informed-choices.html
