Putting a Spotlight on Climate Change

Spreading knowledge on the impact of climate change is no longer just a job for environmental experts and politicians, but a responsibility for every person on earth – the ‘rich and famous’ notwithstanding!

This is because climate change is a reality and the signs are evident: extremities in temperature and weather patterns, droughts, melting glaciers, and warmer oceans. Research indicates that, of the different factors contributing to climate change, the surplus release of carbon dioxide is one of the major culprits that’s leading to an off-balance of the planet’s ecosystem.

Saving our planet needs to move beyond awareness to having more people making sustainable lifestyle choices. Positive changes in how we live can reduce our carbon footprint and significantly contribute towards slowing down climate change. The good news is that at the backdrop of this reality, is wave of celebrities that are stepping up to the challenge by not only talking the talk but acting accordingly.
