Global Wind Day: Time to add sail to end Fossil Fuel plants

The global temperature is rising. Freak weather events are multiplying. Climate change is happening. And yet governments are giving $6 to polluting fossil fuels for every $1 dollar that goes to clean renewables.

World leaders must move now to renewable, clean energy sources like wind energy. These major economies, as members of the G20, pledged in 2009 to “phase out and rationalize over the medium term inefficient fossil fuel subsidies while providing targeted support for the poorest”—a much applauded decision that has yet to see significant follow-through.

Not only do these subsidies continue to sponsor the activities that cause climate change, but they work against the creation of stable government support for the renewable energy industry. The lack of reliable, long term support for renewables creates uncertainty that holds back the potential of the industry.

Despite uncertainty, however, the industry has achieved striking successes so far.

The promising trends seen in the industry were reported by two sister publications, REN21’s Renewables 2013 Global Status Report and Frankfurt School–United Nations Environment Programme/Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s Global Trends in Renewable Energy Investment 2013, launched together June 12, 2013.

The publications report that 2012 was the second highest year ever for renewable energy investments, totaling $1.3 trillion since 2006. Additionally, the installation of new renewable energy continues to grow, adding new, clean energy capacity both on and off the grid.

Did you know that CO2e and other Green House Gases lead to global warming and climate change?

The simplest way to combat climate change caused by CO2 and other green house gas emissions is to plant trees: Trees breathe in Carbon Di Oxide and through the process of photo-synthesis create food for themselves and breathe out Oxygen.

At Sustainable Green Initiative, we plant trees to help the fight against climate change and also hunger, poverty and rural migration. By planting a tree through us, you help in doing your bit to mitigate your carbon footprint and carry on the fight against hunger, poverty and climate change.

Planting trees is the easiest way to combat climate change: Trees breathe in Carbon DiOxide, the main cause for global warming and climate change, and through the process of photo-synthesis create food for themselves and breathe out Oxygen

Plant or gift a tree today:

Young children love to plant trees. Gift a young friend or family member a fruit tree today.

As simple as it sounds, planting a tree makes a difference.
A tree has the potential to sequester about a ton of carbon over 50 years.
What's more, It generates enough oxygen for two human beings for their lifetimes.
You are cleansing your air and making up for the carbon that you unintentionally emit.

So what are you waiting for?
Plant a tree today.
