With the rising population, we need to improvise now: recycle, pick litter up from the sides of the roads, be conservative with the resources such as, water, electricity, etc (Cunningham, 2006). Have you ever thought about how many people you see on a daily basis? As the world population grows, improving living standards without destroying the environment is a global challenge (2000).

If we do not change our ways, humanity will come upon an ecological catastrophe (2000). To clean up our act we can: use energy efficiently, manage our cities in a better way such as "Going Green", protect our waters, harvest our forests, and many others. We protect our loved ones everyday by holding their hand...
