Climate work for us … on all levels

September 9, 2007 | 10:59 am

We, in the industrial countries, are all responsible for the environmental crisis on earth. Our ecological footprint is too large. If all the billions on earth would live as we do, several earths would be needed. We are consuming the resources for poor countries and for our children and our grandchildren and at the same time leaving our garbage for them to take care of. We, as countries and also as individuals have a responsibility and we ought to act on all levels. We ought to inform ourselves of what we can do. We need a personal vision about this.

We can work on all levels…
In our personal lives, choosing bike instead of car.
As lobbyists, persuading people everywhere we go.
As customers, purposely buying food and things according to the sustainable and renewable idea.
As professionals, taking the right decisions, not only avoiding things, but find new ways of doing business that is sustainable.

We need ideas and we need to be creative. We not only have to stop doing wrong things, but we have to do start doing new things. Here are som interesting links about ecological footprint; WWWF on Humanity’s Ecological Footprint and from Wikipedia.
