Submitted By:   Shweta-sj

  Consomme moins de papier
Submitted By:   harisstavr
Committers:  26
Date Created:  2009-01-22 		Description:   Over 1 Million tonnes of paper are cut down every day to produce paper. A huge amount of the paper we consume every day is used only once, then ends up in the garbage. This commitment represents the promise to utilize paper more efficiently by printing double-sided, ceasing to pick up advertising leaflets and recycling as much paper as I can. If everyone in the US recycled just 10% of the newspapers they received, it would save about 25 million trees per year. Now imagine, if everyone in the world recycled 10% of their newspapers! What if everyone in the world recycled ALL of their paper products! Additionally, according to the University of Colorado, "Recycling 1 ton of paper saves 17 trees (35’ tall), 2 barrels of oil (enough fuel to run the average car for 1260 miles or from Dallas to Los Angeles), 4100 kilowatts of energy (enough power for the average home for 6 months), 3.2 cubic yards of landfill space (one family size pick-up truck) and 60 pounds of air pollution." So you can see, there is no good reason to NOT recycle your paper!

Date Created:  2008-07-12 		Description:   I will carry a reusable shopping bag with me so that I can reduce the amount of plastic This way I will help in the reduction of plastic waste. I will also encourage my family and friends to do the same. Plastic bags are one of the most unnecessary contributors pollution in our environment today.

  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

  Promote social responsibility in science & engineering
Submitted By:   SPUSA
Committers:  15
Date Created:  2008-04-16 		Description:   Science and technology have a significant impact on society and policy. In 1955 Albert Einstein, Bertrand Russell, and other eminent scientists issued a manifesto urging scientists to "think in a new way" about their moral responsibilities in the nuclear age. Today, the need for social responsibility in science and technology extends beyond nuclear nonproliferation concerns to health issues, such neglected tropical diseases; the impact of emerging technologies, such as nanotechnology; and energy and environment issues, such as climate change. Join me in pledging to learn more about the role of science and technology in society and starting a conversation with your friends about what you learn. The next U.S. president and Congress will have will face a number of policy challenges relating to science, technology, and medicine. Learn more at http://www.spusa.org/2008vote.
