'Global warming is more apparent, with the melting of the polar caps, weather patterns out of control, and seasons arriving late. We must control the pollution we are spreading on earth. I'm afraid for my children and their children and future generations.
Let's do something now so the future people of this planet we call Earth will be here.'

'This is becoming a very real issue to the world and I think it is absolutely critical that people are made aware of the real problems
that we are going to face if we don't do something This is becoming a very real issue to the world and I
think it is absolutely critical that people are made aware of the real problems that we are going to face if we don't do something NOW. Living under the ozone hole is devasting. Every summer I can feel the sting of the sun more and more. Living in one of the driest states in the driest country of the world, global warming is fast becoming the most terrifying and destructive disaster the world has ever known. We need to start to grow our trees and build our forests again, instead of ripping them down. Stop being so wrapped up and greedy in wanting materialistic items that causes fumes so toxic it keeps burning holes in our ozone layer.

Here in Australia a child in our schools have the motto "No hat, No play". What is that saying to you? It means 5 minutes in the sun will burn their skin, and the risk of getting skin cancer increases. I have educated my family about global arming and we make sure that we recycle, be skin smart, don't waste water by leaving taps running and using washing machine water to water our garden. But this needs to be done by more people in our community. The government and local councils are putting in millions of dollars to make urban ecosystems, but they still rip other parts of ecosystems up for developers. It's no good giving from one hand and taking from the other. I hope that this book makes a difference and helps to educate people on how they can help save our environment.'

'I look around me and I see more and more traffic clogging the roads and I think, this is happening everywhere all at the same time.  I have read about global warming for some years now both pro and con.  I firmly beleive we are the root cause of this phenomenon with our pollution and emissions.  The polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate.  The weather is
already becoming unstable and unpredictable.  This place is getting hot, Venus hot!  As the oceans and the atmosphere fill up with more moisture, the weather will reach the point of no return.  I think we are very close, if not beyond that point already. Here in Kentucky where I live, the temperatures are setting records for highs never attained, plus the storms that we have had this summer are among the most violent I have ever seen.  The last storm had
dangerous lightning that could have come right out of War of the Worlds. 

So, as I'm sitting in traffic, thinking about all the other people doing the same thing throughout the land and the world and wondering if its too late, I wonder what we as individuals can do.  We all need to change our way of thinking, and adopt new ways for coping with an impending crisis. It would be similiar to the 'give a hoot, don't pollute' movement in the seventies to gain awareness of a specific problem, I think the scale of this crisis and the consequences of it so dire that it breeds complacency and outright disbelief.  This must change, and change quickly!'
