While we as individuals can't do much to stop or even slow down the decay of our planet, but we must do something nevertheless. What we can do, I guess, is contribute toward slowing down the consumption of resources. We can certainly do away with some of the things that we think we need, not out of necessity but out of luxury.

For example, when you go out to buy that new ipad or smartphone, you need to think about whether you need it or not, or whether your older devices can still soldier on.

If each of us just make one change to our daily routine for the sake of the planet, the nett effect could have some significance.
