2 年It's the time to think like human of PLANET EARTH /"Earthians". Biggest crisis of the planet earth is on.... It is converting to PLANET-SEA. Consequances of Global warming and Climate change have no boudaries. Unfortunately we yet have the mindset of deamrcations. Country, natinality, GDP, Economy, Rich and Poor are some of them. Let's act like earthians before it is too late. Agriculture, Deforestation, Fossil Fuel, Industries are few of big contributors of the crisis. WE need to act fast. I'm a responsible earthian. Are you?
