We humans in the name of achieving success and changing the face of the world with technological advancement , we forgot to think what might happen to our planet if we manipulate it so badly . We forgot to think about the consequences that we might face if we pollute our earth , air and water . We only thought about making our present better but we made it by destroying our nature . Now we are in the condition that if we don't do anything to change the nature , in few years , we won't be able to undo our mistakes .
