I have omitted from my list some evils that are destroying the earth and mankind, such as global warming,Racism,Environmental Pollution, Destruction of the environment and animal extinction, lack of education,AIDS,poverty and intolerance.....
Global warming-
The Planet Is Heating Up—and Fast
Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are drying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. It's becoming clear that humans have caused most of the past century's warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives. Called greenhouse gases, their levels are higher now than in the last 650,000 years.
We call the result global warming, but it is causing a set of changes to the Earth's climate, or long-term weather patterns, that varies from place to place. As the Earth spins each day, the new heat swirls with it, picking up moisture over the oceans, rising here, settling there. It's changing the rhythms of climate that all living things have come to rely upon.
What will we do to slow this warming? How will we cope with the changes we've already set into motion? While we struggle to figure it all out, the face of the Earth as we know it—coasts, forests, farms and snow-capped mountains—hangs in the balance.
Racism-Racism is a very touchy subject for some, as issues concerning free speech and Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights come into play. Some people argue that it is just words. Others point out that these words can lead to some very dire and serious consequences (World War II being an example).
Racism is treating someone differently or unfairly simply because they belong to a different race or culture.People can also experience prejudice because of their religion or nationality.Racism takes many different forms. These can include: Personal attacks of any kind, including violence
,Written or verbal threats or insults ,Damage to property, including graffiti
Why are people racist?
Unfortunately racism can exist in all races and cultures. Racists feel threatened by anyone who is from a different race or culture. We are not born racist. Our views and beliefs develop as we grow up. If a child or young person grows up within a racist family, or has friends who are racist, they may believe that racism is normal and acceptable. Prejudice of any kind is often based on ignorance and fear of anything unfamiliar.
The effects of racism
If a young person is experiencing racism of any kind, they may become lonely and sad. They may also try and avoid situations where racist behaviour could occur, and pretend to be ill, play truant from school, or be scared to leave their house.
Environmental Pollution-Environmental pollution is one of the biggest problems the world faces today. It is an issue that troubles us economically, physically and everyday of our lives. The contamination of the environment is also being linked to some of the diseases that are around currently. Yet, most people do not know about this problem. This shows that environmental pollution is becoming an increasingly worse problem that needs to be taken care of as soon as possible, not only for the good of the environment but also for the people that live in it. Many factors are present for why environmental pollution has become such a large issue in the world. However, if the people of the world were to address the issue it would definitely help both the environment and it’s people. There are many activities that can be done by both the common citizen to the governments of the world, which could severally improve the world’s environmental problem. On the other hand, if the current way the world’s environmental problem is being handled continues, catastrophic consequences can follow for the future population.

Lack of education will covers d other probs -
All the bullet points that I listed are due to lack of education..(in ma opinion).....------>>>
Racism can be commonly (though not restricted to) linked to areas where education is not promoted or embraced, or seen as important. Drug abuse, crime, and AIDS mostly come from areas where there is a severe lack of education.Even overpopulation - people keep on OVERproducing because of a lack of sex education...mostly in underdeveloped countries such as (parts of) Africa and China. Though this type of education may not be mainstream, environmental awareness education can teach us how to make smarter decisions to protect our world as the ozone layer continues to thin away.Education has the highest guarantees of making a stable income in the future. Sure, you could always try your shot at Hollywood, but chances of making it (SUCCESSFULLY) in that competitive place are almost one in a million. It may not be the fastest route to solving the world's problems, but it is definately necessary in terms of STARTING to solve them.
Thatz all for now....kinda bz..will update it soon..... :)
Violet wishing all da Indians a very Happy New Year.......May dis new year brings a better future for all...........
