Guest blog – Rainforests why they matter
Half of the world’s rainforest has been destroyed in the last 40 years. It continues to be lost at an ever increasing rate. Protecting the remaining rainforests is pivotal to the climate change agenda because of their crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But forest also provide a habitat for incredible biodiversity, and livelihoods for millions of people.
On the twelfth day of COPmas my eco love said to me… twelve turbines spinning…#12COP21
Renewable energy technologies are gaining ground rapidly. According to the International Energy Agency, in 2013, 13.5% of the planet’s total energy was supplied by renewable sources. They have been growing at a steady 2.2% each year from 1990. Even more impressively, renewables were the world’s third largest electricity production source, at nearly 21.6% in 2013, behind coal (41%) and a smidgeon behind gas (21.8%), but kicking nuclear into fourth place (10.6%).

Here are just a few examples of how we can all contribute to a sustainable city ecosystem:

#Consumption cold turkey on the tenth day of COPmas #12COP21
At this time of year we tend to consume and spend a tad more than usual as we join in with the festivities. Of course, Christmas is a special time for many of us and we want to show our appreciation and love to friends and family, we don’t want to be called eco Scrooges after all! However, we could also show our love and appreciation for the planet at this time of the year too, by being a little more mindful of the amount of ‘stuff’ we waste over the ’12 days of Christmas’ and try to have a more sustainable festive season.

Where would we be without agriculture? We’d be very hungry for a start!

In essence, agriculture is indispensable to our everyday lives in many more ways than simply satisfying our hunger pangs.
