developed a psychology that don't let them think about environmental and pollution issues. Their current and immediate problems are so heavy that they don't mind to think what is going to happen tomorrow. I my self feel OK, when I feel I am not dead.
This is what I can say about the mental and economic conditions of my people. It is true for at least eighty 90 % of our people. The rest 10 % is not the citizen of Pakistan. They have nothing to do with this nation or country. They are either so rich that they have already partially settled in other countries, or so poor that they can't even think and understand what and where they are.

The majority however is facing problems so severely that their current interest is to survive. They can't have any concern with the future. Their day to day needs and rising prices have made them so limited and ultimately so selfish that they can't think what their children are going to live in. Every body is trying to make himself economically stable and every body is a failure.

If I try to think about the other factor my people are not taking interest in environmental issues for, I would like to say that they are not properly aware. Their religious bents and God trusting approaches have stopped them doing any thing for their future (at least in the cases that are not immediate). Secondly the poor dealers of pure water companies and filtering equipments have robbed them of their trust in any one.

In the light of the above scenario we can say that at least my country is not adapting to or preparing to adapt to the impacts of global climate changes.
