Global warming is being experience by many countries today. Our environment is very warm already and polluted. I think the people to blame are just us who never care to value our environment. we are so irresponsible citizens of our country that's the reason to a very polluted world. World full of diseases because we don't follow good sanitation. Many people cut trees, illegal logging. This is the reason why there are lot of flooding in our country. Trees absorb water to prevent great flood. How about you guys, what do you do to protect our environment?

Who's to blame? Selfish, self serving people of today. People that have to have all the bells and whistles and have to utilize everything polluting water and air. Use it up and buy new. Pollute and why care? I try to keep my car maintained and use economical light bulbs and whatever else I can to save energy.

i recycle everything I can, I walk a lot to save on gas & emmissions & eat locally grown food. I wish they would stop cutting the trees down. we need trees for many reasons. And as far as global warming.....it's a natural process that the earth goes through. Scientists have researched the temperatures of the earth going back hundreds of years. The earth's temperatures has risen & fallen before humans were even here. At one point, there was the ice age....the earth heated up & the ice melted. It's a cycle & we just happen to be alive when the temps are increasing. However, humans ARE polluting the water supply & creating so much waste that there is no room for it. We all need to do our part to help our home.

Exactly! You are 100% right! It is us, the inhabitants of this world are to blame for spoiling our environment. The things I can contribute is to throw my garbage to the right dumping site. In my work I recycle papers by using the other side of the paper for internal documents. When i am in the Philippines, i chopped the vegetable skins and scatter it in my vegetable garden so it would serve as fertilizer. We also separate the biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. Flooding can be blamed to clogged drainage and misuse of funds. Since I was a kid, DPWH in the Philippines always do road repairs every year and every year flood is there. Whew!

I also wish we could all protect this environment before it is too late. I do try to to protect the environment as much as I can like making sure I put the garbage in the right place. Don't like wasting water but I still I think, I need to do more, it just not enough.

We humans are to blame of those environmental issues. We humans tend to become abusive of our nature. In order to protect our environment, I do not throw my garbage anywhere.

I agree with you, that its all because of us human why there's environment problem. People keep on throwing garbage anywhere and everywhere and cutting trees. Now to correct things its also us who should do the step and be responsible with what is happening to the environment. Me, I tried to put garbage at the right place in that way even if its just a small thing I helped in protecting the environment.
