What On Earth Are We Doing? A Thought Provoking Introduction to Climate Change
Location: Indoors - Duration: Approximately 1 hour - Participation: Any number of people
Event Description
 'What On Earth Are We Doing?' is an eye-opening introduction to Climate Change - the causes, the serious effects that it is having on our planet and measures we can take to reduce the impact.
With the world’s media attention focused on global warming, climatic changes and the growing unpredictability of the Earth’s rise in temperature, this sprawling issue is brought to the fore.
Whether you’re alarmed, sceptical or simply curious about climate change, this presentation is delivered in a non-intensive, enjoyable and easy-to-understand style.
Unless we have a better understanding of what causes climate change, it can be more difficult to be motivated to take action. The basics of climate change are covered in ‘What On Earth Are We Doing?’ by explaining how it actually occurs and looking at the greenhouse gases that are heating up our planet.
An overview of the impacts shows how climate change is already affecting life on Earth – from rising sea levels to polar bears stranded on tenuous ice – and how these changes may play out in the future.
In the section ‘Getting down to Business’, we address some of the important areas in which we can all make a positive contribution towards mitigating the problem in both our work and domestic environments thereby reducing our carbon footprint and making significant financial savings.
Details on the myriad of ‘green’ related websites that are useful for sourcing comprehensive information on environmental issues are also addressed. |
