#COP24 - Let's talk Climate Change: For many, climate change is difficult to picture. It isn’t a rapid onset hazard like floods or tsunamis, that instantly snap up the attention of public media. Instead, it is slow onset, somewhat predictable and accompanied by a fair warning. Yet, a massive disconnect exists between climate change science and public knowledge, and this mismanagement of the human element is what we need to fix. Climate change is important because it is a warning for our futures, the futures of those after us and the future of those around us. It's time we learnt to understand climate change as more than two words and to take individual actions toward a sustainable future. Check out @gretathunberg for her inspirational #climatestrike video at COP24!

P.S. Our Beaches wants a #cashfortrash bottle deposit system because we don't want our world waste-d on waste! We've signed the open letter petition and encourage you to do the same! Get involved at bit.ly/signBDpetition

Celebrating the end of exam season the right way! Thanks to everyone who came along, you're all legends! 😊
