Dr Haghi,

Ordered by increasing impact (and commitment from the individual)

* Don't fill your car's fuel tank (wasted energy carting unburned fuel around).

* Coast more frequently to a halt - brake sooner, minimizing loss of kinetic energy.

* Take more public transport over personal motor transport

* Turn off unused appliances

* Buy fewer things that have high carbon loads (bottled water from Italy? Sold in Vancouver)

* Eat less meat, especially beef

* Switch to LED lighting

* Insulate your house more thoroughly

* Move closer to work

* Move to a smaller house (easier to heat, easier to repair)

* Move to a country that uses more renewable energy (inc. nuclear)

* Have fewer (any?) children

* Write a living will to rule out expensive end-of-life treatments

* Write a will that has 'progressive' beneficiaries

Dear James Garry ,

Thank you very much indeed for your detailed comment and practical insight.

Thanks indeed for such valuable point of views.

Let us learn to translate words into action. Sustainable conservation of resources, sustainable consumption, sustainable production, sustainable actions, sustainable education or simple words all sustainable initiatives that too collectively by all will help save the planet.

Yes Dr. Shrikaant Kulkarni , you are absolutely right.

I do hope all of us learn to translate words into action.

It is the time to take action to save the Earth, today.

Tomorrow is too late.

All of us are responsible to take action to save the earth.

It is a necessity.

We need to begin talking about what kind of planet we want to live on.

We must take action to make our Environment healthier.

Let's make everyday Earth Day!

I agree with James Garry who gave very valuable points of view. Next, according to https://www.voicefortheplanet.org/

...we need an ambitious new deal for nature and people that sustainably manages our planet, limits global warming to 1.5°C, protects at least 30% of the planet by 2030, and safeguards our natural spaces & species.

We’re the first generation to know we are destroying our planet. And we could be the last that can do anything about it.

Thanks indeed Anton Vrdoljak for such valuable insight.

This was very helpful.

Thank you again.

We have to control birth to save our Earth

Thank you Arvind Singh for your reply.

This is a very important question. Responsibility for saving the Earth starts with each one of us. I like the idea that we are borrowing this time from the future generation and so must think about sustainability lest we mess everything that is currently on loan. We need to leave the Earth better than we found it. Think about where you are now how can you improve it?

Thanks indeed Lillian Chepng'etich Boit for your insight.

The pollution created by the earth is due to the work done by humans for greater prosperity, and these changes will soon affect everyone.

Certainly the conditions of the earth will not return to their original state, and if they do, modern humans will not be able to leave them because of the habit of some facilities. However, strong will and laws require that strategies be implemented to reduce environmental pollution and to prevent future environmental contaminants such as the construction of cement plants, the overeating of cattle for feeding and the numerous other contaminants.

Thanks indeed Maryam Jafarbeglou , for such comprehensive and helpful insight.

Our planet can be saved by decrease the pollutants as well as using heat engine and/or heat pump cycles matched not intersected with the cycle of nature.

Thanks indeed Osayed for your comment.

Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG, Well, we can do a lot to save and protect our planet, the natural environment from the negative effects of civilization. The key questions to be answered are: Do we want to save and protect our planet, the natural environment from the negative effects of civilization? Are we aware of potential threats for future generations if humanity does not proceed to implement on a larger scale the implementation of the principles of sustainable ecological development in accordance with the green economy philosophy? Do we have the opportunity to do this in the coming years? How can citizens influence decision makers, politicians and entrepreneurs to implement the principles of sustainable ecological development on a larger scale?

A lot of scientific data from climatologists' research indicates that the global warming process has entered a strong upward trend and perhaps humanity has little influence on the change in the pace of this process. However, regardless of this, we should do everything we can regarding the implementation of the principles of sustainable ecological development, including the necessary ecological reforms primarily in the energy sector by developing renewable energy sources, electromobility, development of organic farming, improving waste segregation techniques, recycling, etc. These reforms ecological ones implemented in accordance with the green economy philosophy are necessary to at least partially slow down the global warming process. We owe it to next generations, we owe it to our children and grandchildren. One of the key elements and goals of the green economy philosophy, i.e. primarily the implementation of pro-ecological reforms consisting in the implementation of the principles of sustainable pro-ecological economic development, is nature protection, protection of natural biological ecosystems, protection of terrestrial biodiversity and its preservation for future generations.

In recent years, the number of cases of weather anomalies and climate disasters caused by climate change related to the increasingly faster global warming process is growing rapidly. The increasingly faster global warming process is the result of an increase in greenhouse gas emissions emitted by industry and the energy sector producing electricity and heat based on the burning of minerals. In addition, the increase in greenhouse gas emissions is due to the development of the automotive industry also powered by burning minerals. Greenhouse gases are also emitted by agriculture, mainly livestock production carried out using traditional production technologies without complying with the principles of organic farming. In addition, the burning of garbage, including plastics, causes greenhouse gases and toxic to humans and other forms of life chemical compounds to be released into the atmosphere. Due to the warming climate of the Earth, the consumption of electricity is growing, because the houses are installed ever larger refrigerators, refrigerators, air conditioners and more electronic devices enabling access to the Internet. The increase in demand for electricity causes a rapid increase in generation capacity in traditional power plants generating this energy based on traditional energy, consisting in burning increasingly larger amounts of hard coal, lignite, mazout from crude oil and other minerals.

Due to the above, a very negative effect of the progressing global warming process are more and more frequent weather anomalies and climatic disasters, above all the more frequent drought causing forest fires. Growing forest fires are increasingly causing natural degradation. For example, recently (August and September 2019) there were Siberian Tundra forest fires at the Arctic Circle, fires of large areas of the Amazon rainforest, forest fires in many places in Europe and in many other places of other continents. This is another very negative effect of the more and more frequent drought and other weather anomalies being a derivative of the progressing global warming process. Droughts and fires very quickly cause impoverishment of biodiversity, soil sterility, degradation of natural environments, decline in the number of living organisms, extinction of many species of flora and fauna and other negative processes.

These fires, especially the Amazon rainforest fires in Brazil are a very negative effect of the Earth's ecosystem on climate change. The Amazon rainforests produce up to 20 percent of the Earth's atmosphere. oxygen. During current fires (August and September 2019), part of the Amazon rainforest with an area of ​​1.5 football field burns every minute. the government in Brazil has announced that it does not have the resources to counteract this problem. It does not have enough firefighters and firefighting equipment to even try to put out the fire. This is a problem not only for Brazil but for the whole world. This is a global problem. The problem of the burning enormous rainforests of the Amazon rainforest should be the subject of urgent convening of a special UN conference as soon as possible, including the participation of many other international ecological organizations, governments of many countries, internationally operating financial institutions and industrial corporations capable of providing assistance and organizing measures and necessary actions to put out the fire as soon as possible. The Amazon rainforest fire is already a serious SOS signal for the Earth, for humanity, for the lives of many species of flora and fauna that the critical point caused by the global warming process has apparently been exceeded.

Climatologists estimate that the necessary pro-ecological reforms in global terms should be carried out by 2030 at the latest for effective slowing of the global warming process to be effective. If this plan is not implemented, then by the end of the 21st century the average temperature at the Earth's surface will increase by another min. 3-4 degrees, which will result in an increase in climate disasters. Earlier there will be a complete melting of glaciers, the release of methane from the thawing Siberian tundra and other polar regions, an increase in drought, fires and volcanic eruptions. This will cause a chain reaction of climatic disasters that are a derivative of global warming and at the same time the same processes will be the source of further greenhouse gas emissions and an increase in the average temperature at the Earth's surface. If the climate change process enters the aforementioned chain reaction of climate disasters related to the global warming process, then it will not be possible to stop and significantly slow down these negative processes on Earth's life. However, there are still a few, max. several years to implement environmentally friendly reforms globally, implement sustainable economic development in economic processes carried out in accordance with the green economy philosophy. Therefore, the current question is: Will humanity use this remaining time to implement this plan. It is the biggest global civilization challenge for humanity in the 21st century.

In view of the above, protecting the biodiversity of natural biological ecosystems is one of the main challenges of sustainable ecological development to be implemented in the 21st century. However, the problem is the implementation of the principles of sustainable pro-ecological development into commercially implemented business processes. It is not easy to combine the green economy philosophy with the foundation of commercially operating business processes, i.e. classic economics. It is necessary for business communities to cooperate with other types of organizations, including pro-ecological social institutions and the world of science.

There is probably little time left for carrying out the necessary ecological reforms. Therefore, quick actions are necessary to extinguish this fire and implement in Brazil and other countries programs of systemic implementation of sustainable ecological development in accordance with the green economy philosophy. It is not easy in the situation of a developing country, a country that is just developing its industry and technology in order to achieve a level of economic development similar to the level of income, equipment with technologies etc. in highly developed countries. Highly developed countries have pro-ecological technologies and pro-ecological innovations, including in the field of renewable energy sources, which should be transferred to developing countries that cannot afford to create these innovative, pro-ecological energy technologies on their own.

Regardless of the real possibilities of slowing down the global warming process, however, it is the man who should reduce all or most of the greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible, reform the energy sector through the development of renewable energy sources and carry out other pro-ecological reforms to implement the principles of sustainable ecological development and according to the green economy philosophy in subsequent years, intensify activities in the field of nature protection, protection of natural biological ecosystems, protection of terrestrial biodiversity and its preservation for future generations.

In connection with the above, I believe that one of the greatest challenges of humanity in the 21st century is the need to implement the principles of sustainable pro-ecological development according to the green economy philosophy in order to intensify activities in the field of nature protection, protection of natural biological ecosystems, protection of terrestrial biodiversity and its preservation in the following years next generations.

Listen to and support young people in their protests and activism for sustainable development.

Dear Dariusz Prokopowicz and Manuela Heinz ; very interesting point of view.

Thanks indeed for your valuable comments. It was very helpful.

Thanks Dariusz Prokopowicz , for your practical and comprehensive insight. It was very interesting.

Green science and engineering are very important.

Dear Osayed , Thanks Indeed for your insight.

Stop using plastic, share rides or use public transport, must have a garden area with plants and trees in it, install solar panels, harvest rain water. At least this much we all should do.

Thanks Nitin Kumar .

We need to treat and love nature the way we love ourselves. Caution is what matters in all our endeavours

Thanks indeed Isaac Sarfo , for your valuable insight.

'Each one teach one'. We can help each other (educate) to sane our planet and our environment.

I feel it should be our personal priority of each of us for our own survival and for well being of all life forms existing on our planet. Let us think seriously and act before it is too late (in fact, we have already delayed our actions).

Dear B K Sharma , Thank you vey much indeed for your insight.

Maintain the stability of our ECO system

Dear Dariusz Prokopowicz

I am thankful for your valuable comment.

To save and protect our planet, we can do the following:

1- The planet is preserved by preserving the ecosystem on it, by protecting animals.

2- rationalization of water consumption

3 -Volunteer to clean public places. Raising awareness and educating people about the importance and value of the natural resources on the planet.

4- Reuse and recycling, in order to conserve natural resources.

 5- Reducing the purchase of plastic items as much as possible.

6- Planting trees abundantly, they provide food and oxygen on this planet, as they contribute to cleaning the air and fighting climate fluctuations.

7- Choose non-toxic detergents, as they travel through waterways and cause pollution.

Dear Dr. Bin-Saad,

Dear Anton Vrdoljak ,

Thank you very much indeed for your valuable insight.

A lot of efforts do help, but only one solves the problem without constraining society --> moving to space. I researched a tiny step in this immense field which is coming soon as a master's thesis and a couple of conf. papers. I would like to congrats all efforts to save Earth's from our impact, including mine 12 years before coming to VT, we need all of the efforts.

Dear Gustavo Gargioni ,

Thank you very much indeed for such valuable insights and efforts.
