Anybody can be a Climateer. Global warming is the buzzword of the decade - everyone from former US vice presidents to rock icons are joining the cause to reconcile the climate crisis. Savvy Hong Kongers are fast becoming part of this global trend-we recognise global warming is a problem, want to take action but lack the resources to help us do so - which is where www.Climateers.org comes in.
www.Climateers.org is Hong Kong's personal climate change info and action portal. Climateers will be joining a growing global network of concerned citizens, who want to know what they can personally do about the planet's rising temperatures, and who are willing to consider lifestyle changes to reduce their personal climate change impact.
As Climateer, not only can you stay on top of the science and happenings about global warming both in Hong Kong and worldwide, our innovative carbon calculator, tailor-made for Hong Kong, can also help you determine your personal carbon emissions. Once you know your carbon footprint, you can identify areas in your life in which you could reasonably reduce your emissions, slim down your carbon figure to improve the health of the planet.
We'll direct you to low carbon products and connect you with the growing mass of individuals, businesses and organizations who are getting hip to the climate change crises. Discuss your climate actions, voice your views, exchange ideas with Climateers near you!.
Becoming a Climateer is not about sacrificing quality of life or hugging trees, but rather it is about awareness, personal commitment and the potential for action to help stop global warming. By educating yourself on climate change and embracing a low carbon lifestyle, you will be joining a diverse cross-section of our global village, from different social, political, economic and religious backgrounds in the mission possible to cool down the planet before it's too late.
