<p>Climate change is real. Our Earth is dying a slow death. Whether one likes it or not, we are responsible for it in one way or the other. Unless we make right amends, nothing is going to change. It is not just about holding marches, discussions or coming up with innovative slogans or getting popular in the world by raising the voice. It is all about actually taking some corrective measures as if things go the way they are currently, we may be the reason for our own downfall. But yes, there is still time to make things right. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>For years, the world has been using fossil fuels excessively, resorting to deforestation, killing animals for sport, harming ocean life as we please, etc. In all of these actions, hardly any consideration has been given to any of the ill-effects of these activities. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Climate change: Are we doing our bit for environment?  

<p>For years, the world has been observing National Endangered Species Day on the third Friday of May. This year, the occasion is falling on May 20. The day is commemorated to raise awareness among people about endangered species. It also looks to sensitise people to take action for protecting them.&nbsp;Several of the species, which are endangered now, used to thrive on Earth. Due to human activities, mindless hunting, global warming and other factors, they have become endangered. Many of them are also becoming extinct. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>In 2006, this day was created by David Robinson and the Endangered Species Coalition, according to reports. It will be marked for the 17th time this year. &nbsp;</p>
