  Ensuring the Switch to Renewable Energy
Submitted By:   unyimeabasi
Committers:  2
Date Created:  2009-08-25 		Description:   Climate change is in fact affecting diverse communities globally, in different dimensions. One of such is the sources of energy used at home, powering electronic & industrial machines, as fossil fuel, etc. In order for us to have a habitable environment if not a better one, everyone—government, corporate entities, communities, rich and poor—must all stand up to support the switch to renewable energy.

  Mange moins de viande
Submitted By:   JadeJohnston
Committers:  8
Date Created:  2009-06-23 		Description:   No organism is 100% efficient. Of the energy taken in by crop plants, only 1-10% is converted to edible food, and cows may convert only 1-10% of food energy into edible food. The United Nations says meat and dairy production account for 18 per cent of greenhouse gases – more than the world's entire transport system – and the amount of carbon saved by turning vegetarian for a year is equal to switching from a normal car to a hybrid for 12 months according to the Vegan Society in Australia,

  Make A Submission to the UNDP Youth Climate Change Project
Submitted By:   Amac
Committers:  49
Date Created:  2008-05-06 		Description:   The United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) Human Development Report (HDR) is probably the most widely read document published by the UN every year. But the reports are not widely read by young people, which is why the UN is inviting young people to make a short, colourful summary of it. The process is the same as previous years. If you did not take part last year, what we do is to create a task force of individual young people, school groups, etc. and get them to bring to life the key messages of the HDR with opinion pieces, reports, poems and stories, paintings, cartoons and photographs - so that everyone can understand these messages. The result is a beautiful, fascinating booklet entirely written and illustrated, designed and edited by young people. You can view the one we did last year at: http://hdr.undp.org/external/hdr2006/water The design and editing is done by the young international interns here at the world-famous Peace Child International centre, near Cambridge, UK. Contributors can watch the book come together, page by page, on the website. Also via the website, you can suggest a different story, another photograph, painting or design element, just as if you were sitting at the Editorial Meeting table. VIDEOS This year, the UNDP has asked us to go further and invite young people to create 30 to 90 second videos on how climate change affects you and what you feel should be done about it. For additional information on the video component please visit http://www.quantumshift.tv/contests/11 For additional information on the UNDP Youth Climate Change Project please visit and download the call out letter in English, French and Spanish at http://www.peacechild.org/climate

  Remplace tes vieilles ampoules par des lampes basse consommation
Submitted By:   bhuwan007
Committers:  23
Date Created:  2008-02-15 		Description:   The International Energy Agency (IEA) has calculated that lighting uses 19 percent of global electricity produced. This electricity used for lighting is a major source of CO2 emissions - equivalent to 70 percent of that from the world’s cars and is three times more than emissions from aviation. A survey conducted by International Energy Agency (IEA) found that a global switch to efficient lighting systems would trim the world's electricity bill by nearly one-tenth. (World Energy Outlook, 2006). I commit to replacing burnt out light bulbs with efficient models such as LEDs and compact fluorescents.

  Reducing the amount of plastic I use

Submitted By:   laurakenyon
Committers:  354
Date Created:  2007-11-01 		Description:   Plastic bags are everywhere, we use them to package and carry all sorts of food, clothing, and manufactured goods. Not only are they everywhere, but they stick around for a long time, because they also take 300 years to degrade in landfills! Plastic bags are only one way in which we all use plastic all the time. The plastic that makes up our cellphones, dishes, containers, packaging, furniture, and appliances is environmentally problematic. Being aware of how much plastic you use is the first step, then make choices that reduce your plastic consumption. An easy way to commit to using less plastic is by committing to no longer use plastic bags.
