Our planet, which is the only one known to have the capability of hosting life as we know it, is being gradually destroyed by human activities. In our quest to improve our standard of living, we have also inadvertently caused damage to our environment. Researchers have cautioned that measures need to be taken to reverse the trend yet, people seem oblivious to the pending danger and have ignored the warning completely. Some of the challenges that may be deterring us from heeding the advice from the scientists include; a low level of awareness and limited alternative lifestyles.
