If people in one country work very hard to tackle the global warming problem, but if people in other country dont do anything, this obviously will not able to solve the global warming problem. What we need to do is to work together hand in hand to adress this issus properly.

Finally it is our duty to keep this earth healthy. Wo have to make sure that our future generation will be able to life in this planet healthily. If We dont act it will be to late. Act now or it will be to late.
