I guess it's good too that , even as we ask the government to do its job, we also examine our lifestyle particularly irresponsible consumerism. Thanks. Hi Arcibald,
Well said, my friend :-) Each one of us have a role, either through action or inaction, in the depletion of our resources. I guess it’s good too that , even as we ask the government to do its job, we also examine our lifestyle particularly irresponsible consumerism. Thanks.

I do plan to retire in my hometown when I get old.

I hope they start planting as it's easier to squat on cleared land...
