CONSERVATION – Week 1.

Each week from now on I will supply a paragraph for the pew sheets describing what each one of us can do to help save our civilisation from many threats resulting from ecological overshoot with global warming being just one. Some won’t seem intuitive. Many you won’t like. The world is making absolutely no progress with CO2 emissions and associated global warming. In fact, we are accelerating backwards, so much so that it’s us that are being affected now, let alone our children and grandchildren. Wind and solar farms, electric cars, batteries etc, will help but won’t be near enough. The whole world population must change the ways in how we live, or nature will change them for us as it is already doing for many. This is by far the most effective means to address ecological overshoot. (Google for a full description). Watch this space. I welcome discussion.  Email: warren.pettigrew@raztec.co.nz
