Before we go shaking our heads about how disappointing the Copenhagen deal was, lets remember that all changes start with the man in the mirror, or simply you and me! Change is possible only if you want it and I want it!

Fight Climate Change with Diet Change The most effective action an individual can do to cut emissions
Every day, we make ethical and responsible choices for the environment by cutting down our carbon emissions. We recycle, reduce and reuse because we know that resources are precious. We use more energy efficient appliances so as to conserve energy. However, there remains one powerful choice that sometimes gets overlooked – changing our diet, something which scientists believe is the best thing we can do in terms of individual action.
Trees are the epitomy of life on earth. Over millions of years of evolution of the earth's different organisms, trees are culmination of life that the randomness of earth's many creatures, environments, and climate and endless cycles of birth and rebirth have created to be the most perfect creatures of the world. They grow endlessly upward against earth's gravity, some reaching to enormous heights that the tips of their leaves see a different climate from the roots that nourish them. They feed directly from the earth and harness the power of the sun to create life. They are the homes for many who fly, jump, swoop, and walk through its canopy, from the tiniest of bacteria to the largest of birds they are nature's megastructures. Why then do we build buildings instead of trees?

i want to be like a rock in the river of life, not a water droplet.
the water droplet flows along with the river stream, washed along with swift current, caught up in the little anxieties and worries of life too busy to appreciate the meander and waterfalls of the river course...
