This blog is maintained by Chameleon Island Ltd (http://www.chameleonisland.co.nz/about_us.php), for the purposes of open dialogue on practical things we (as in societies) need to do to mitigate climate change, in particular, education and awareness. As Rohm Emmanuel said, “A crisis is a terrible thing to waste”, and Michael Platt reckoned that, ” A risk tamed is a reward captured”. There is more to look forward to than there is to fear when it comes to Climate Change. There are opportunities that will be realised in many sectors of the world’s economies. Rather than just trying to mitigate this risk, let us face this “planetary emergency” with courage and resolve, and create value. And a large part of this will be a paradigm shift in how we deal with everything in life, from energy use to waste management.
