Our planetary residents depend on each other and planted species,” he said.
“We must face climate change problems at the global level of cooperatives for everyone’s benefit.
But we also have to do what we can at the personal level,” he said.

We must take care of our natural environment to be part of our daily lives, and learn what US science must teach , “he added.

“With hope and determination, we must take care of our own lives and all of our neighbors,” he added.
Our ancestors looked at the earth as rich and abundant, which, but what else was our only home.
We must protect it not only for ourselves, but also for future generations, and for countless species that we share the planet, he said.
Tibetan plateau, the largest snow and ice reservoir outside northern and southern Poland, often called “third pole”, he said.

These rivers are sources of life, they provide drinking water, irrigation for agriculture, and hydropower, for almost Two billion people throughout Asia, “he said.
“The smelting of many Tibetan glaciers, damming and river diversion, and widespread deforestation, gave an example of how ecological neglecting in one field can have almost everywhere consequences,” he added.

“I hope and pray that our leaders will gather the power to take collective action to overcome this emergency, and set a schedule for change.
We must act to make this a safer, greener, happier, more happy world,” he added.
