    nothing is wrong with the world as it is! the climate changes will happen, no matter how hard you try. The planet is fine! we are the one's with problems. Planet has been here for what, 4 and half billion years now. have had much worse happened to it. media, commet bombarded the earth. Humans have been living like 200,000 years and the industrialization took plance like 200 yrs back. You think this 200 yrs would make a difference to earth? NO! Earth is a violent planet at once and will be. BUT then it recovers. that what it do. it cleanses and recovers itself. Some plastic bag will not get in its way. Probably earth will consider the plastic bag as one of its grand sons as plastic was made out of earth, wasn't it? May be earth needed to go through this process. May be this is answer to out long lasting question "what is the purpose of our life?". To create plastic:D lol
    Don't worry guys! BUT it is very ok to be connected to nature and care for it. but rubbish is what they talk.

    Bushy, why dont you write an article about President recent critsm of the religious scholars from salafiya and Azhar? Does he think just because he has been in a boatyard in liverpool makes him a genius? Barking like a dog he said "He will directly get involved in Parliamentry elections" If he has no respect for rule of law, you can even rape the country Mr President.
