+If we unbalance nature, humankind will suffer. Furthermore, we must consider
+future generations: a clean environment is a human right like any other. It
+is therefore part of our responsibility toward others to ensure that the world
+we pass on is as healthy as, if not healthier than, we found it. This is not
+quite such a difficult proposition as it might sound. For although there is a
+limit to what we as individuals can do, there is no limit to what a universal
+response might achieve. It is up to us as individuals to do what we can,
+however little that may be. Just because switching off the light on leaving
+the room seems inconsequential, it does not mean we shouldn't do it.
