Global warming is not just something you read about from time to time and eventually it will go away. It's a very serious scenario that affects everyone of us on this planet regardless of colour or creed, rich or poor.

Carbon dioxide is the main culprit and everyone of us is responsible for its presence in the environment. If we turn a blind eye now to its causes we pave the way for future generations of untold problems that, who knows, may continue to the end of time.

It is, indeed, a daunting prospect.

But each one of us has the power to help reverse climate change by living and existing more efficiently and economically. Then our grandchildren and their children ad infinitum will still have a world fit for life.

A good place to start is at home making sure it embodies all the ingredients of a well managed lifestyle that is efficient, effective, secure and as economical as possible.
