However, I have heard friends that says, "argh.. there's nothing much we could do, its polutted as it is, and it has been warmed since long time.. there nothing much we could do about it.." or "if I save a few plastics bags, and others dont, there's no point.. so forget it.." Arghh too many negative coments right? Thats shat I heard from poeple around me.. Do you notice the extreme changes of our weather nowadays? It was a spanking bright sunny day in the afternoon, but all of a sudden.. the storm and rain came in the evening . sounds familiar right? 10 years ago, monsoon are well predicted, and we could easily plan our holiday to the East Coast..but 2-3 years lately.. the monsoon are unpredictable.. this is also veryyy familiar right? And flood.. it flood every where nowadays.. This are all called 'extreme climate change' and it is the result of global warming.
