 Who is responsible for global climate change? It does not really matter any more. We can put blame on each other forever and not solve the problem at all. Regardless of the cause, we have a problem. Pollution, garbage disposal, greenhouse gases. People of the Earth have to figure out the way to deal with this problem. And, everyone can really help.
Governments and international community can make laws to stop pollution. Industry can also help. They can invest in better technology that pollutes less. Each one of us can be helpful, too. We can find ways to conserve energy everywhere we go.
Finally we can better prepare for the global climate change. If we all know it's coming, we should not waste time arguing and talking. We should start acting. We need to find ways to best survive the global climate change and protect our economy so future generations can live on Earth as well as we do.
This part of our web site will discuss environmental responsibility. We will discuss:
• Effects of climate change
• Laws
• Personal responsibility
• Government and Industries
• Preparing for change
