In today's news, the UN reported that last year was the fourth warmest on record. We would like to hear what our Cafestudy members are doing to help slow down climate change. Have you changed your habits recently? Or maybe you are meaning to but haven't got round to it yet? Please let us know!

I have made more of an effort over the last 12 months or so in terms of making sure items I buy have packaging that can be recycled or re used (coffee jars make great canisters) I spend less time in the shower and when it comes to shaving my legs I sit on a seat with a bit of water in a bucket - no water wastage this way. I use grey water on my little patch of garden, don't use lights at night unless I want to read, do my washing during off peak times and don't use a clothes dryer at all. The town where I live has just put a can/bottle recycling machine near our local pool - lots of people are making use of it and in return for recycling these items you get either pay pal; voucher for coles or donate to charity. Personally I find the concept of 'Climate Change' as a scare mongering tactic by scientists and in turn our Government responds/reacts and then bombards Australians with never ending articles/ television new reports/advertisements suggesting things that individuals can do to try help reverse something that may or may not even exist. Our world has been polluted and impacted in so many ways in varying degrees and those in charge/'researching'/'reporting' so called findings for Climate Change to be a 'thing' in my opinion is false and something I don't believe in. We have pollution we have a changing climate and more natural disasters as years pass - I feel this is part of a cycle and nothing more.
