Our wild world is disappearing in numerous ways:loss of species,habitat destruction,declining water and air quality,and increasingly saline and shallow topsoils.
More importantly,there is an uneasy sense that the world we knew as youngsters (I'm 64 years old) is not the same gift of wonder and opportunity we will be passing on to our grandchildren.That is a haunting feeling,and one that our political and economic systems are failing to address.
-----------------------------------------------
Global Warming
There is little doubt that the planet is warming.Over the last century,the planets temperature has risen by around 1 degree fahrenheit (0.6 of a degree celsius).The warmest since the mid 1800’s was the 1990s.The hottest years recorded were 1997,1998,2001,2002,2003.
The United Nations panel on climate change projects that the global temperatures will rise 3-10 degrees fahrenheit by the century’s end - enough to have the polar caps all but melted.If the ice caps melt,a vast majority of our countries borders will be under water.Monuments and great buildings,as well as homes and lives will be under water,including New York City.

Bad Facts about our earth
If you throw away 2 aluminum cans,you waste more energy than 1,000,000,000 (one billion) of the world's poorest people use a day.
Making a new can from scratch uses the uses the energy equal to half a can of gasoline.
About one third of what an average American throws out is packaging.
More than 1,000,000,000 (one billion) trees are used to make disposable diapers every year.
In one minute,50 acres of rainforest are destroyed.
Some rain has a pH of 3 or 4.(which is pretty acidic,considering 7 is neutral,not acidic,and battery acid has a pH of 1).Some fish,such as lake trout and smallmouth bass,have trouble reproducing at a pH of 6,which is only slightly acidic.Some clams and snails can't survive at all.Most crayfish are dead at a pH of 5.You can see how bad this is for the environment.
On average,a person in the US uses energy two times more than a person in Japan or West Germany does,and 50 times more than a person in India.
About 90% of the energy used in lighting a standard (incandescent) light bulb is lost as heat.
Air conditioning uses 10 times more energy than a fan,therefore,it creates 10 times the pollutants.
It takes half the output of the Alaskan pipeline to heat the air that escapes from all the homes in the US during a year.
Cars and pick-up trucks are responsible for about 20% of the carbon dioxide released into the air.
There are about 500 million automobiles on the planet,burning an average of 2 gallons of fuel a day.Each gallon releases 20 pounds of carbon dioxide into the air.
About 80% of our trash goes to landfills,10% is incinerated,and 10% is recycled.
Since there is little oxygen underground,where we bury our garbage,to help bacteria eat the garbage,almost nothing happens to it.Scientists have dug into landfills and found ears of corn still intact after 20 years,and newspapers still readable after 30.
The average American makes about 3.5 pounds of trash a day.
In a year,the average American uses as much wood in the form of paper as the average resident of the developing world burns as fuel.

Commitment for environmental protection and nature
For a number of years now, industrial environmental protection has been an established issue in Germany that is firmly anchored in the policy of many companies. This topic has a particularly long tradition at Bayer AG. More than a century ago, the company was already making an effort to balance its business activities with the protection of the environment and nature. In 1901 the “Wastewater Commission of the Leverkusen Dyeworks” met for the first time. These pioneering endeavors in the field of environmental protection have since developed into a product-integrated environmental protection concept based on leading-edge technologies that is an integral part of Bayer’s corporate policy.
Industrial environmental protection and corporate social responsibility have always been inseparably linked at Bayer. As a good corporate citizen, we feel we have an obligation to use our commercial and technological expertise worldwide to protect society and nature alike.
Youth and environment
The younger generation plays a key role in sustainable development on our planet. Young people who are active in environmental protection today could become the decision-makers of tomorrow – and in any case, they are affected by the consequences of our current approach to nature. That’s why Bayer aims to sensitize young people around the world to the importance of environmental protection and provide support to those interested in the issue. In 2004 Bayer became the first-private sector company to enter a partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in the area of youth and environment. The two partners have since been jointly implementing more than a dozen projects around the globe. » More on this Topic
Sustainable agriculture and biodiversity
Another issue of central importance to Bayer is the use of sustainable agriculture to satisfy the rising global demand for high-quality food supplies while at the same time contributing to better health care for the population and to the protection of nature. Innovative crop protection products safeguard harvest yields and simultaneously maintain the biodiversity of crop landscapes. Biodiversity refers to the biological diversity of all living organisms, including animals, plants and microorganisms. In order to maintain this valuable balance, we advocate sustainable crop production worldwide.
