SPEAK UP, AND…

We are the first generation to know we’re destroying the world, and we could be the last one to do anything about it. Speaking up is one of the most powerful things you can do. Talk to the people in charge. Talk to your friends, neighbours, and colleagues and mobilize them to act too. Make your voice heard. Cut down on what you throw away. Continue to learn — the more you learn, the more you can help others understand the value of our natural resources and the importance of changing ourselves. Conserve water, use less plastic, shop wisely and plant a tree. Save energy and other limited resources. Bike more, drive less. We must understand that sustainability is here to stay or we may not be.
