IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHNAGE! As global temperatures contimue to raise beyond 1.8degrees from 1901 to 2016 chnage of one or two degrees in the average temperature of the planet can cause potentially dangerous shifts in climate & weather, its for this reason that we will continue to push and advocate for reduction of more extraction model of economy, and call for a more sustainble..way of living. It starts with each one by being a respomsible citizen.. say no to Oil gas and coal!

My friend sent me a picture of a youth shot eight times yesterday in Nairobi. He did not survive. The youth was a student at a top university, and one that is associated with wealthy parents. Tragedy affects everyone. I was at that university last year for the inauguration of the East Africa Campuses and Colleges Green Network (EACCGN) Email us info@eaccgn.org. This is a youth led network to look after our common home. My friend is one of the founders. This terrible shooting is a siren of the impossible situation we are in. The tragedy is triggered by debt. Kenya, despite rapid growth, is heavily indebted. The country has been running with a budget deficit that keeps the debt increasing. The last time the budget was in surplus was a blip in 2005, and two more blips before that in 2000 and 1999. This is a familiar story. Whether it is the US, EU, China, or a country like Kenya, we have laden our governments with expectations, and at each electoral cycle politicians promise they will deliver. They do this through debt. Some economists nowadays say debt has no consequences. They say, who cares as long as you can print your own money? I owe you 10 bucks? Not a problem. Two hundred trillion? Just let me start up more printers. Debt matters because debt is confidence on the future. Every time we take out debt, we are telling ourselves, tomorrow will be just fine. That's how we tell ourselves it's okay to spend more today. In Kenya, this story is facing a different reality. Everyone in the country knows someone who has been affected by drought, floods, or both in the past year or two. They have seen them lose their life savings. This has come through medical bills, lost crops and livestocks, unpaid earnings. They are seeing climate change and it's implications. And, it's just the beginning. Climate change makes people's lives more expensive. Sometimes, this leads to tragedy. If governments' responses are to shoot first and blame later, then we are in for more than a bumpy ride. What do governments need to do? Our thoughts are they need to help people reach their economic potential. People need to believe the world has a place for them. They can do this by increasing their unique economic presence. That's how nature thrives; that's how we need to thrive. At Rethinking Choices we will be launching Thrive in September. This is a novel consultancy for businesses, communities, and individuals so that they may thrive with climate change. It is inspired by nature's economy to build economic presence through experimentation. We will set up ThriveLabs with our partnering clients including our friend who sent us the picture so that they may increase their unique economic presence. If you are sensing the wind of change and maybe feeling lost, get in touch so that you can open up your curiosity for a better way to thrive. #thrive #climatechange #business #community #individual #UK

Happy International Youth Day! Today, we celebrate the immense potential and power of youth across the globe, with a special focus on our vibrant communities in East Africa. This year's theme, "Green Skills for Youth: Towards a Sustainable World," resonates strongly with our mission at the East Africa Campuses & Colleges Green Network. As young leaders, you possess the energy, creativity, and innovative spirit necessary to drive the sustainability agenda forward. Your commitment to protecting our environment and advocating for sustainable practices is crucial in addressing the pressing challenges that we face, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource depletion.
