This month we are writing to all world leaders, all 191 of them and asking them what actions they are taking to stop the destruction and to regenerate the world’s rainforests partucularly the equatorial regions. We are also asking what incentives they are making to the local communities to help them sustain a living instead of taking from the forest for corporate companies.
We want answers from them all and we will keep you posted on their response. We want them to stop twiddling their thumbs and worrying about when their next cheque is coming in and to take immediate action; this is where we need your help.
For the price of a stamp – we are asking all the people of the Earth to send a letter, email and/or fax (where it is supplied) and tell the governments that you will no longer look away and that action needs to be taken now to end the destruction of the worlds rainforests for the sake of all of our future.
We have written to the leaders in the past and although some effort is being made for conservation not enough is being done.
Many of you may say that global warming is a natural cycle and it may well be but Man has exagerated this process and accelerated this cycle un-naturally. We constantly pump CO2 emissions into the atmoshphere, and we take natural resources from the Earth and dump our waste in to the ground and the oceans without a thought of the consequences. We have to take responsibility for what we leave for our children. We should be utterly ashamed of what we have done. There are no excuses and with this must come action to change all our ways. We cannot leave it to others to sort out. Here are a few examples of how we can change our ways personally :
* Whether it is replacing our lightbulbs to energy efficient,
* Turning off the car engine while waiting for people,
* Being conscously aware when buying goods, for instance, FSC wood products,
* Can I buy second hand and recycle,
* Recycle your goods instead of dumping them in a landfill site,
* Is the food I buy grown in my country in order to save CO2 emissions,
* Do I need to fly abroad for a meeting,
* Can I compost or recycle my waste,
* Why do I need to use so many plastic bags.
