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!

So far, we've done a lot of watching of documentaries (Al Gores 'an inconvenient truth', the one Leonardo DiCaprio made recently, ABCs war on waste to name a few). In terms of actual concrete changes, we've become more particular about recycling and composting in the house, and we've also made a conscious effort not to buy fast fashion or plastic junk. Instead we are op shopping and going to the library more often. It's quite daunting when I think of the enormity of what is happening to the Earth and what awaits future generations if we don't stop climate change in its tracks now, and it's also disheartening when I contemplate the minute effect my small family's actions may have to help the situation, but we have to start somewhere, and hopefully by more and more individuals putting in more effort, we'll be able to spark a significant change.
