Where in the world are you?
Wellington, New Zealand What do you do in the world? I am a transport engineer in between being a social butterfly and an adventure bunny. In one sentence, what is climate change? The largest challenge ever facing mankind. How does climate change affect your life? Each day the impacts become more obvious. I see climate change as the pieces of plastic that are found on the beach (never found 15 years ago), the increasing temperature, the more frequent occurrence of natural disaster, the overuse of the world's finite resources. What do you feel you can do about it? Create change, encourage people to make some personal change- demand change to be made at a large-scale by politicians. Do you feel there is more you could do? If so, what is stopping you from doing those things? I could give up meat. I am trying to reduce my in-take but I really would like to see policy changes which will impact everyone to make positive changes. What's your favourite Sunday afternoon activity? Biking, skiing, hanging with my friends and laughing. Free space: write anything you like, nothing at all, or ask us a question Let's get people educated, let's demand that our politicians are bold.

Ellie on the creu! Giving up meat is the first thing that all environmentalists/climate change activists should be doing. I totally see what you're saying about policy-side change though...we need something like a meat tax and subsidies for low-carbon food industries (i.e. plants) :)
