THE climate is changing, as it always has and will, our lifestyles likewise.
The world's population is developing and this has enabled us to overpopulate the world with growing numbers, making increasing demands.
The earth's resources and wildlife suffer and, consequently, climate change speeds up.
Believing that everything on earth was put here for our benefit, we still strive to acquire more, bigger and better of everything than we need to outdo our neighbours.
We are being persuaded to abandon dairy products and meat to prolong life still further and who knows how the story will develop.
We will do our best together as best we can. In the meantime, we shall enjoy what we have, as best we can, while we can.
George Appleby, Leighton Croft, Clifton, York.
