Durban Failed Us
Or did we failed durban?

IPCC, 2007
Water Waste
Using water more efficiently, not only saves water, it can also lower greenhouse gas emissions. WWF, 2011

Climate change is the biggest challenge mankind is facing today.
We do not seem to distinguish the important from the irrelevant news anymore because we are overwhelmed with information. But this century could be the last for our species if nothing changes. The climate conference in Durban is not a move away from a ‘business as usual’ scenario. The deal reached is insufficient to keep the temperature rise below 2°C as agreed in the Copenhagen Accord.
Our goal is not to inform but to trigger you to take action. The time has come for solutions. We need change agents! Change your lifestyle, create a company, organize a lecture, put pressure on political leaders,... DO SOMETHING, don’t wait for a new legally binding agreement! POLITICS = US.
