The Peoples Revolution for Climate Change




The instinct for revolution often arises in the face of reaching a dead-end limit on the threshold scale of expectations and in some instance could be misjudged as a form of desperation for a change but then, if seen in the light of a reasonable reflection, it looks more like a path or rather awakening to a healing process. The same instance of reference could be inferred in the regards of the global mobilization for the sake of making a new a turn in the regards climate change.
We have reached a decisive point in the history of mankind towards our dealings with one problem that we caused and have failed in a great deal of ways to find an agreeable and common solution to, “Climate Change” And the time has come when we seem not have a lot of time to keep dancing around the negotiation tables or playing hide and seek with the future of our planet. The time stands now as it is for us to make a decision and not just the ones that will selfishly favour some short-lived gains that leave nothing but woes ahead for the future of the ones that shows no level of commitment.


The countdown has begun towards the new climate deal in Paris 2015, the question is, is it time again to get our hopes high? Or rather a time to sit still and make the dangerous conclusion that our hopes could end up being dashed? Of course a lot of reasons abound to develop a default mindset of failure but then I wouldn’t say this time is different because the factors of making this time the distinct moment of change all depends on each and every one of the human community on this planet. This is not just a matter of leaving all in the hands of the leaders, the time calls for all and sundry, including the ones who hope to have a future on a planet not exterminated by climate change, to arise in their respective capacity and help push for the realization of not just a binding agreement by our leaders but a timely manifestation of the structures that will help the people to adapt while we fight the changes our long term indifference has caused us.
The climate summit in New York looks towards preparing the governments leaders ahead of the 2015 climate deal and it is more to getting them committed such that this time around, they won’t assume their well know default momentum of a divided camp. The future is grateful to those leaders who have made up their minds to attend while yet there are a number of those still in the process of making a decision to attend. Suffice it to add that the latter group whose number appears to be high are in a way, mostly labeled as climate culprits. But then and again, the time is not on our side and the common people are taking up a formidable stand this time and it will go down in the history of mankind and in the fight against climate change that some people stood and fought with all they could possibly afford, “The Peoples’ Climate March”



We need to remind our leaders that for every second wasted on indecision; a child far away in Africa is at the risk of dying of climate change induced famine, a small island in the pacific is getting sunk, A part of the Amazon Forest is at the mercy of being cleared, An unbearable heat wave is picking up momentum to kill somewhere, the arctic ice is thawing away and the ecosystems are changing for real; A reflection on the catastrophes every moment of indecision would create.
The mobilization is set and voices are rising all over the world, it is indeed the time to make a push for what we believe, we must get it right this time and for those who wouldn’t yield to the bidding of the time, am afraid the nemesis of their inaction will be a shame for them in the future for the people will win…and our future we shall rescue.

How to Make Sustainable Furniture Choices For budget-conscious consumers, frequent movers, or first-time renters, furniture meant to stand the test of time doesn't exactly sound feasible. A $30 coffee table, $200 bed frame, and $150 dresser may sound enticing, but as many of us have found out the hard way, these particleboard wonders weren't exactly built to last. The primary issue with cheap, dispensable, slap-together-in-a-1-2-3 furniture isn’t just what it’s made of (we’ll get to that shortly). The bigger problem: It’s easy to chuck it. When there’s a low upfront investment, we may not be as attached to a set of inexpensive side tables as compared to heirloom oak ones. If it teeters, wobbles, breaks, or doesn’t fit a room’s changing design aesthetic, the simple solution is to toss furniture to the curb and buy new, right? Though bargain-basement furniture offers a temporary solution, investing in replacements every few years can put a damper on your wallet and th...

Drought holding education to ransom in Kenya

Image
Njagi   Amos has been a teacher for 19 years and is currently the Head Master at Marsabit Boys School in Marsabit, Northern Kenya. He has moved from school to school as years of drought drained the natural and financial resources from the region, making it more and more difficult for schools to remain open and for children to attend classes. Marsabit is suffering from increased droughts due to climate change resulting in families going without water and food prices going through the roof. In turn, schools are struggling to provide food and water to their students while parents are unable to afford tuition fees and need their children in the daily struggle to find sustenance. The education system is suffering and the development of the region is in jeopardy. Niagi says, “Food prices have risen which is a real problem.” Marsabit Boys is a boarding school and the cost of feeding the children has risen dramatically since the latest drought setin. He has refused to pass the incr...

A Partnership Forged for the Future

Image
In 2013, at the Major Group Partnership Conference on Forest held in Rio de Janeiro, a work partnership opportunity was established between the NGO Viola and Green Impact International from Nigeria. This partnership was made possible by the interest of the Executive Director of NGO Viola, Ludmila Zhirina who was interested in the similarity of the work engagements with young people that Green Impact International does in Nigeria. Through this development and over the years, both organizations have shared best practices regarding idea exchange, youth group engagement programs, eco-teaching material development, and joint reporting for publicity.  During our collaboration, NGO Viola shared the success of the SPARE program with Green Impact International, hoping it could inspire young people under the community outreach programs in Nigeria to learn best practices and ignite their interest in protecting the environment innovatively and passionately. It is delightful to note that we are...
