Title: On World Environment Day, NASA Reminds Us Of The Damage We Have Done To Our Plan Post by: imran on June 06, 2016, 05:20:48 AM Climate Change is an important issue which needs to be addressed not just on World Environment Day, but on daily basis. It's saddening to see once dense forest now struggling to exist, just because we humans destroyed it for our selfish motives. NASAs before and after images of these glaciers show us how vast the difference is between the once scenic glaciers and rivers, which now are losing its charm due to our carelessness.
