SIMON SAYS: Live simply so others can simply live.

Live simply so others can simply live Shopping. Buying. Consuming. Our over-consumption of stuff – especially things dependent on fossil fuels – is killing people and the planet.

What most people know

Global temperatures are rising, glaciers are melting, sea levels are going up, and weather extremes like drought and severe storms are on the increase.

People living in the industrialized global north are the ones most responsible for climate change. Consumer lifestyles and the addiction to fossil fuel are the culprits.

What most people don’t know

Those hardest hit by climate change will be the poor in Africa and Asia. In Africa, food production is predicted to drop significantly, and as many as 250 million people could experience severe water shortages by 2020. In Asia, increased flooding in the delta regions will affect more than one billion people.

What can the world expect?

The poorest people on the planet, with the fewest resources, will experience incredible suffering.
There will be millions of "environmental refugees", as people are forced to flee regions that are no longer habitable.
The gap between the world rich and poor will grow.
There will be increased global conflict over these inequities.

Is this unfair?

Yes! That's why the peaceful revolution says: Get green and global.
