Topic 6: Environment

It has become obvious to most people by now that our ecosystem is close to a collapse. The dramatic rise in temperature that we have observed during the past years, the melting of large parts of the ice of our poles and its devastating consequences, the extinction of more and more species, and the increasing number of natural catastrophes we have been faced with are proof that nobody can anymore deny.

Please find out more details about our current situation and then start thinking about possible solution. It is necessary that we all work together on this: there is not much time left....
