In a postmodern generation, it seems like everyone wants to save the earth but nobody wants to sacrifice the luxury that fuels the raping of earths natural resource.

Unless they have the latest gizmos and travel to the furthest part of the planet the postmodern generation feel that they are merely existing and not truly living.

Her cries goes unnoticed even with the recent extreme weather reports from all over the world. Mother Nature has been calling out to us, the question remains whether we are prepared to listen?

Before you switch off thinking that this is not for you and the sacrifice on our lifestyle would be too great.
