A bit to late for that SMS to be sent. We should received this message 35 years ago, or maybe more. Yes we can plant more trees, yes we can recycle plastic and paper but put yourself this question, how big is our impact and how big would be if the industry would turn green ? One major country turned green, for real not just marketing stuff, would make same impact on global warming as all people in the world turning green.

no no friend, we too well concerned about this matter but i raised this matter as a discussion.
it would be too hard to make our earth green bcoz all of us are living for our own sake, we are not living for others. there may be some negative impacts in future for that we are doing now but who cares? its too pathetic.
have a nice day.

It is good that people are spreading this news or are making people aware of the global warming. But I don't see that this has any effect on people.
How many of those how received it had actually planted a tree or has taken any steps to save water.
People just forward it and then forget about it.

These are good points to be making about the Earth, but they are minor in comparison to the threat that modern chemical farming practices are doing to the world. We not only need to be planting more trees, but they also need to be food producing trees as healthy organic food is getting harder to come by with all of the nutrients that have been stripped out of the soil around the world over the last couple of hundred years.
The agricultural revolution was one of the worst things that man has ever done to this planet. The grazing of hoofed animals and ploughing of fields have destroyed the nutrient qualities in the soil. Most of the micro organisms in these fields that produce nearly all of the worlds foods have gone, been washed away. We need to return to a time before then when people grew their own food and lived comfortably off their fertile soil.
It is time for the Permaculture Revolution.

yes friend. in understand.
if u want to save our earth through your mentioned system, then we have to search an alternative source for our foods. its essential to plough to create some foods otherwise u cant grow up it.
if we need to go the ancient ages then we will be more dependable on fruits and milk. and now a days we cant survive through it.
u are right that chemical farming is a big threat towards nature and perhaps nothing can replace it.
have a nice day.

It is not essential to plough at all. This causes soil degradation.
We need to be composting and worm farming to create new soil from scraps. Then planting in raised mounds from this new soil is the best way. The only time that we should be digging the earth is to create swales and dams on our land for water retention. 



Nice avatar. Hope you have send two.
