Climate changes

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a scientific intergovernmental body tasked with reviewing the most recent scientific, technical and socio-economic information produced worldwide relevant to the understanding of climate change. It provides the world with a clear scientific view on the current state of climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic consequences, notably the risk of climate change caused by human activity.

Our planet is in danger ! We must act NOW !

Mother Nature is essential to mankind.It is our primary resource for all our fundamental needs such as feeding or looking after ourselves, finding a habitat and having fun. Yet today, the Earth is sending us signals to which we must pay attention: natural resources are depleting, animal and plant species are disappearing, the polar zones are melting, ecological catastrophes are in increasing numbers, the gap between rich and poor is growing.
It is urgent to act now, as our Planet is not doing well.

Many people around the world have contributed, but more funds are urgently needed.

Don't forget to help these suffering people!

Hurricane Gustave

Hurricane Gustav is moving inland from the US Gulf coast after the worst of the storm missed New Orleans - the city ravaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Gustav, which brought torrential rain, has now weakened to a tropical storm. New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin advised the two million people who had fled inland ahead of Gustav's arrival to stay away from the city for at least another day."Re-entry is just days away, but residents shouldn't return Tuesday," Mr Nagin said, adding that officials would check the scale of damage.

"Trees are down all over the city, power lines are down all over the city, and there is a significant number of homes and businesses without energy".

Earth Day Poem

The first Earth Day was organized in 1970 to promote the ideas of ecology, encourage respect for life on earth, and highlight growing concern over pollution of the soil, air, and water.

EARTH POEM

I am the Earth
And the Earth is me.
Each blade of grass,
Each honey tree,
Each bit of mud,
And stick and stone
Is blood and muscle,
Skin and bone.
And just as I
Need every bit
Of me to make
My body fit,
So Earth needs
Grass and stone and tree
And things that grow here
Naturally.
That's why we
Celebrate this day.
That's why across
The world we say:
As long as life,
As dear, as free,
I am the Earth
And the Earth is me.
