In
just over two months, world leaders will meet at the UN Climate
Conference in Copenhagen. In their hands lie the power to reduce carbon
emissions and global warming, if they heed the latest scientific
evidence: developed countries must reduce emissions by 40% (not
just previous 10-16%) by 2020 to avoid dangerous climate change.
Every vote, action is needed, including yours to
influence your political leader and to take concrete action in
mitigating climate change. You can also STAND UP and TAKE
ACTION Against Poverty and For Climate Justice in support of the
Millenium Development Goals from 16 - 18 October.
Yes, it's been a while since you last heard from me.
Just been busy figuring out how to help businesses embrace greener
practices in the most practical way, to help in the transition from
intention to application. So I started Eco Solutions
consultancy with Anders Nilsson, a Swede who tinkers with
technologies, and loves Gaia. I hope you'll support us by considering
eco-friendly ways of living.
Everyday, Gaia Discovery brings you inspiring, fact-sturdy
and not-quite-so-ordinary stories by committed and specialist
contributors. In this picture, I reflect on natural habitats at Singapore's offshore
landfill that could have only sprung to life with some advance
planning - conservation mode.
Here's to greener living!
