Climate Summit in Copenhagen - COP15
The grand climate summit in Copenhagen takes place between December 7th and 18th 2009. Thousands of governmental representatives and NGO´s are going to debate climatatic problems and find solutions. The climate summit will hopefully end in a common resolution signed by a majority of participating countries. Denmark has the difficult task to collect everybody´s opinion and bring people towards a common ground.
Come join and take on responsibility!
As a Muslim you might want to make a personal effort, and there are many places to get good advice. Do you want to build a compost container for your garden? How do you reuse any ressources? Where do you put your used batteries and why? How can you build a windmill or construct a solar cell aggregate on the roof to save electricity?
