1.829 METRES LONG BANNER ON GLOBAL WARMING

Three thousand students from different schools and colleges have created a 6.000 feet long banner in Puducherry, India to draw public attention on global warming during a science exhibition and set a world record.

The students took almost a week to prepare 6.000 feet (1.829 metres) banner that aims an endorsement in the Guinness Book of World Records besides spreading general awareness. Put on display at the ongoing 34th Jawaharlal Nehru National Science Exhibition since December 5, the mammoth banner highlights the depression of ozone layer and threats posed by global warming. The themes focused in the mega poster have been artistically done with majority of the portion showcasing global warming affecting animals, birds and the nature.

I think one of the most current and widely discussed factor which could lead to the ultimate end of existence of Earth and man is global warming and its devastating effects. Several current trends clearly demonstrate that global warming has direct impact on; rising sea levels, the melting of icecaps, and significant worldwide climatic changes. Actually, the vast majority of the population hasn't even thought about the issue. Global warming is the process in which heat from the sun is trapped in the earth's atmosphere as a result of pollution. What we can do to decrease global warming? We can reduce global warming by driving less and driving more fuel-efficient and less-polluting cars, using energy-efficient appliances, insulating homes, using less electricity in general.

Ignorance is the very reason that so little has been done until now. We, as the most intelligent species, should act as protectors and guardians to all those weaker than we are, and should reconnect with the earth and give a voice for all the inhabitants that can not speak for themselves. As Christians we should lead the way in care for the environment, since we believe and proclaim that God is the Creator of the world.
