bantwanazulu@yahoo.com *CLIMATE ACTION NOW! Glaciers are melting, the sea degree is rising,
rainfall designs are changing which there have been increases within the
number of droughts, floods, mudslides, as well as heat waves. This is
climate change, the biggest issue is that it’s happening right now and we
are the cause. It’s affecting everyone. Now the question for all of us,
“Who Are You On Earth”*
* *
*Youth of Choice officially launch their climate change campaign called "Who
Are You On Earth". This campaign is led and driven by Youth of Choice
Council which took to the streets recently to create awareness, encourage
the public to go for GREEN smart choices and educate the public about the
importance of climate change crisis. *
* *
*Why the youth? Our youth will inherit climate change. Although impacts are
being felt now, more troubling effects are projected to occur in the next 50
-100 years. *
* *
*How will the youth be affected? More severe weather events, the spread of
disease, and water shortages just to name a few. If the crisis around
climate change has to change, this generation of young people must take
action and minimize the climate change impact that will affect their future.
They need the information and must make a stand on climate change, as well
as be a part of the solution, now and in the future. Because of this, our
Youth of Choice Council has taken action be involved in this crisis and
promote greener smart choices.*

*“The youth must take action to reduce the actual impact of climate change.
It’s really a matter of choice; an individual choice all of us must make
right now. The aim of the Who Are You On Earth campaign is to educate young
people about climate change crisis, impacts, and solutions. Mobilize young
people to take action and empower young people with the information to
successfully go for greener smart choices. We will also be making demands to
our local municipalities for political action on climate change crisis and
we hope our efforts will go well beyond the COP17 climate change conference
in Durban” says Bantwana Zulu, the Youth of Choice Council President.*
