Lack of initiative among the leaders and people is not only the problem being faced by the world in terms of environmental issues.One of the major point which soon is to becoming a problem is lack of fore sightedness and knowledge about the implementation of the alternative solutions being given for environmental issues.I will state this with an example :

The hyped Biofuels have infact added to the global warming and have alarmingly caused mass deforestation in places where the biofuels are being produced.Brazil has been the latest example to it where the biofuel production was supported by leaders , activists and organisations.This can be explained and understood very easily :-

Support for Biofuels created a demand for biofuels.This caused a demand for such biofuel producing  crops eg. corn,sugarcane.This resulted in the price rise for such crops attracting people to aquire more land (understandibly cheaper forest land) and cause large scale deforestation once more adding to the already grim situations of global worming and deforestation.

Another Example can be taken as of using mercury based lights which are supposed to save energy.This was again hyped and promoted by the leaders and activists.People have effectively taken part in buying these and are satisfied that they have played their part in supporting environment.Buy again lack of information ,knowledge and fore sighted ness hass again taken a toll.After the mercury based lights are used up the problem of discarding these comes into play.These bulbs/lights contain harmful gasses which again pollute the environment and again effect it negatively.

This has to be understood and understood well that only making a change for the environment is not going to be enough.Before making a decision and going ahead with a change ,analysts and experts from all domains have to come into consensus and then only such stratergies be promoted.
