One Planet - Time to do your bit
It's not just about One Leicester. We also need to remind ourselves that we've only got One Planet – and time is running out, if we're to slow down the effects of climate change.
Quite simply, climate change is the greatest environmental challenge facing the world today.
Rising temperatures will affect weather patterns, sea levels and the frequency of extreme weather events – and scientists have become increasingly convinced that human actions are to blame. As our demand for energy has increased, the amount of carbon dioxide that's released into the atmosphere has increased too – and that's the main cause of climate change.
