We have inherited a planet from our previous generation. The past is history. We can't do anything about it. What we can do is to understand our past and present and ensure that the future generations respect us for our decisions. We should leave behind a planet where the future generations do not have to worry about Kyoto and Copenhagen.
Our Experience Shows!
How often have we 'not' learned from our historical experiences ? How often have we ignored the signals from nature, collective experiences of people, our scientists, our thinkers ? How often do we think of our children and future generations ? How often have we let the 'short term' drive the 'long term' ?
Lets's do something about it. Let us be responsible for every action of ours - our consumption, our waste, our carbon footprint. Let's change ourselves first and then change the world.
