SOS from Planet Earth

With an advancement in science and technology we are developing and moving to the avenues which were unimaginable a few years back at a very rapid pace. We are using all the resources that were available to us from the planet Earth. The balance between what to use and how much to consume is something that we were not even concerned about till a few years back. Then the world started talking about the Kyoto Protocol. That to me is the first step that we started thinking about the planet and the consequences of what we have done till now. Still personally I don't think it is going to help us a lot talking about steps and talking about measures that the government must take to ensure the call from distressed Earth. The change should happen at the individual's level. We must come up with small steps that help us play our part in helping answer the problem we are into. May be I am just talking about limiting the use of Plastic bags, Petrol,Electricity and other things that help us reduce the external commodities we were adding in this palnet.
