The Road To Paris

“The Road to Paris” is a term climate activists are using to call attention to the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) held in Paris this coming December. The intention is to secure a legally binding global climate agreement to dramatically curb carbon emissions and accelerate the planet-wide shift to clean energy.

Diverse groups, organizations, corporations, businesses, and citizens, as well as religious and spiritual groups are joining together to put pressure on world leaders to sign a legally binding agreement in Paris. 

Many climate scientists emphasize the urgency for us to come together this year … finally … as One Humanity/One Planet, to tackle the greatest challenge that we have ever faced: climate change.

Educate others!  The more loudly we all speak up and also show up, the more pressure we put on our world leaders to sign a binding agreement in Paris.

“Politicians don’t create political will they respond to it”.

Help others wake up from thinking we’re powerless! 

We’re not!!

This is the most important time in the history of the planet.

Encourage others to participate and 

help create the world we all want to live in

Let’s work together, speak up and create some political will.

For the beauty of all we love, especially the earth …

Just choose one thing to get involved in!  Just one!!  You’ll feel so much better, so much more empowered, to be working with others on the solutions.  It makes all the difference in the world … literally.
