The Day After Tomorrow
_________________________________________________________________
You can link to the film's official site above, it was a gripping, enthralling film illustrating the effects of climate change, the effects that will take place if, globally, we do nothing to prevent the growth ogf greenhouse gases, or more specifically, if we do nothing to suppress the global emmissions of carbon dioxide! Granted the world will not change as dramatically and speedily as it does in the film, but certainly changes will occur within the next century if we fail to act now. Friends of the earth have set up a new site The Big Ask to put pressure on the government to introduce a law requiring us to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 3% year on year until we meet the targets set by the Kyoto Agreement. They are not just asking the government to act, they are also asking us to act too. We can act by lobbying our MP to sign an early Day Motion to set the ball rolling, we can act by signing the "e"petition on the site, we can also act by taking small measures to reduce our own output of greenhouse gases at home and with our transport. These measures are quite painless and will go a long way in educating society to look after the future health of the planet for our grandchildren. I urge you all to take a look at the two links, and ASK yourself, can you afford to do nothing? |
