In my opinion, this is a very interesting article to be researched because it teaches you the different ways we as people destroy our environment as well as the ways we can put into practice to keep it safe. My summary is focused on the most important aspects that people must know and keep in mind. It is time to open our eyes and see what it is happening to our planet and begin talking about the different strategies that can be used to protect the environment against the global warming. I also want to place emphasis that this an issue where everybody has to be part because any effect of global warming will destroy rich people,poor people,developed countries(MDCs), underdevelped countries(LDCs)white people,black people,singers,non singers,professionals,celebrities and animals as well. Once you take time reading my summary, you will see that you can also do something to protect your environment.For example, there are many people who use cars for short trips, when this could be done by walking, biking or using mass transit. Another example is to turn off the unneeded lights. Wherever you go, you see lights on, and nobody is in the house. As a said before, this is an issue where you can also help by putting into practice some of the ideas before mentioned. It"s simple. After reading my summary as well as the ideas given, stop talking about global warming, stop making excuses for not protecting it, stoping putting blame into people, govement and people in general and begin doing your best you can to protect it. Remember that land was given by GOD, and you decide, you take care of it, or you destroy it.
