The Climate Emergency ...

OUR Climate Emergency

We all know we are facing a climate emergency. The resources our planet needs to survive are being exploited to meet our energy demands or to satisfy consumerism. It is a situation that must be addressed sooner rather than later, otherwise we risk stripping the planet of the natural resources that keep the planet 'alive', facing a future of increased extreme weather events, and the extinction of many species ... including, eventually, the human race.
