This is the day we use all our resources for the whole year.
If we want a sustainable future for our grandchildren, then we need a massive shift in the way we use what the world provides.
Have we lost sight of what really matters?
Are we chasing a rise in the standard of living at the expense of our quality of life? We need jobs that don’t cost the Earth.
We need investment in renewables now. End political donations from fossil fuel companies.
Vote for those who put the environment first.
You can’t eat coal, you can’t drink gas and there are no jobs on a dead planet.
