You Control Climate Change
Pravda is reporting EU presents new awareness programm to stop global warming.
The European Commission said that households within the 25-nation bloc contribute some 16 percent of the EU’s total greenhouse gas emissions, most of which comes from the production and use of energy.
The EU awareness campaign, which encourages people to “Turn down. Switch off. Recycle. Walk,” on posters, will be launched in each member country in the coming days, officials said.
The EC have launched a special website listing a variety of energy saving measures.
As part of the campaign, school children are encouraged to sign a pledge to reduce emissions and to track their progress in cutting pollution.
We applaud this initiative and hope that people will reduce their energy use as much as possible, and then offset their remaining CO2 emissions. — DS
