WWF's 2010 Living Planet report, released last week, warns we are living beyond the capacity of the planet, pumping more CO2 than the earth can absorb, using up resources quicker than they can be regenerated. If we continue this rate of consumption by 2030 we would need two planets to sustain us. The findings are a stark reminder that we need to change the way we live and the choices we make. We've put together a few simple ideas for you to start cutting carbon by changing the way you live.. and you can start all of these today!

Climate Change play tours the Eastern Cape

Project 90x2030 has partnered with Cosmos Productions to take the innovative climate change play, Joyce’s Choices, to learners around the Eastern Cape. The show was performed 15 times for around 2 146 high school learners. The play follows Joyce and the environmental choices she makes every day into the future: a hot, hot place where winter ceases to exist and water restrictions are commonplace. The play aims to raise awareness of climate change issues amongst high school learners and educators while inspiring them to take action, to create change in their lives and the lives of others. The play touches on humanity’s attachment to a consumer culture and how this is impacting adversely on our environment.
