An 100% Green Proposal
The rate and causes of environmental / climate change has increased dramatically, on a greater scale than ever before, and this will take just as long to prevent and reverse where possible. However this will take the participation of the human race on a much larger scale than is currently being done.
The first step to achieve this is education!
People must be more aware of how they are effecting the environment and how they can help to make a change for future generations. It can be said that every little helps, start small and progress onto helping achieve the goal of a healthier planet!
So, with that being said here’s some background information for your knowledge;
The International Panel for Climate Change (IPCC)* 2007 issue, highlights a few of the future impacts of increasing climate change;
*The International Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) issued its fourth Assessment Report on Climate Change in 2007. This report was written by more than 500 scientists from around the world and reviewed by more than 2,000 experts and delegates from 130 countries. The chairman of the IPCC, Dr. Rajendra K. Pachauri, was awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his tireless efforts on educating the public on climate change.
Together we can save energy and water, reduce and recycle waste, fight global warming, climate change and carbon footprint and increase education and knowledge of these issues to help rectify them. (by Samantha and Hayleigh)

The International Panel for Climate Change (IPCC)* 2007 issue, highlights a few of the future impacts of increasing climate change;
- By 2020, significant loss of biodiversity is projected to occur in some ecologically rich sites, including the Great Barrier Reef and Queensland Wet Tropics.
- Cities that currently experience heat waves are expected to be further challenged by an increased number, intensity and duration of heat waves during the course of the century, with potential for adverse health impacts.
- Towards the end of the 21st century, projected sea level rise will affect low-lying coastal areas with large populations. The cost of adaptation in these areas would amount to at least 5 to 10 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
- By 2080, mountainous areas in Europe will experience up to 60 per cent reduced snow cover resulting in glacial retreat, reduction in winter tourism and extensive species loss. Complete IPCC findings can be found at: www.ipcc.ch
