    Alice Taylor brings the reader with her on her 80th birthday year.
    
    Alice had a big birthday on the horizon, the village was about to celebrate many milestones, and she had just received the gift of a book focusing her on the art of living well. So she decided to write about her year as it unfolded, to keep a journal of the big events, and record the twists and turns normal life brings to all of us in just one year.
    But 2018 turned out to be far from normal, with storms, snow blizzards, blistering sun, severe drought and water shortages. She describes the challenges of all these dramatic weather changes.
    Alice began the year wondering how she would feel about reaching eighty. She was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was just another milestone on a journey that is still varied and interesting. Here she writes about these feelings, and the many pleasant and challenging events of her eightieth year.

    Issues mankind faces today are global warming, climate change, widespread pollution of natural elements, environmental degradation and resource depletion. 
    Environment protection does not suffer from the dearth of scientific data or the absence of laws and regulations on the subject. What is absent is a consistent and determined mindset of the authorities and the people in general to implement the laws. 
    If we fail to protect the environment, researchers predict that a few billion years from now all life on earth will be wiped out. 
    This book is a detailed study on environmental awareness which is necessary to protect the environment for future generations.
