Nations are falling short of their commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It seems that a top down approach is not working, perhaps its time for community responsibility! People can form a pro active group from within their own communities to work together to find local solutions. For example exert pressure on local supermarkets to no longer provide free plastic bags.
In America alone 12 million barrels of oil are used each year to make 30 million plastic bags. Not only does this impact upon climate change but causes damage to the eco system, affects marine life and ends up in our food chain.
Together we are stronger.
People who work together can become a pressure group as a group they can become become more vocal and more powerful than an individual. This community group can put pressure upon government and local plans that impact negatively on climate change. Together we are stronger!
