ReplyDeleteAlthough I agree that the environmental crisis is a shared problem, however, it hasn't received much attention in our part of the world. This could be because of other pressing problems such as rising polio rates, ever increasing terrorists attacks and the electricity shortage. Although I agree that such issues do not discount the importance of the environment problem, however, our government tends to focus on short run as the accomplishment of those help them gain support. And the masses tend to fixate on problems which affect them directly and immediately. Therefore, since the consequences of environmental degradation are likely to materialize at a later period, people and governments like ours tend to foolishly ignore these issues.
Environmentalism is an important and under studied issue that deserves urgent attention.
