  1. i think this website is very useful in tackling social ills and raising awereness on the core values and issues of our social development.however its trivial,fun and exiting way of addresing the urgent need for the human species to act swiftly on issues of global warming and nature presevation is not realised to its magnitude.i feel more needs to be done to not only engage enviromental activists,scholars and inteligentias but also the clergy and the youth too because thats where the masses are and the future is…bobby shabangu from south africa
