| Icy Mother Earth |
Duran Duran and Cold Play have pledged there support for a better earth. We need to show love for our mother earth. We inflict so much damage on the earth. We have to get involved .
"Pledge for a better Planet demands change from world leaders to ensure a healthy planet for future generations. ZSL is taking the Pledge to the Rio+20 Earth Summit in June 2012. Make sure your voice is heard by signing now: www.zsl.org/betterplanet " ( via the ZSL website )
I've taken an excerpt from the ZSL ( Zoological Society of London ) This is what your standing up for when you sign the pledge.
"In 2002, one hundred and eighty-eight countries promised to significantly reduce the rate of biodiversity loss by 2010. But nothing changed. The loss continues unabated. Now one hundred and ninety-three countries have promised in Nagoya to halt the loss by 2020. These promises too will be ignored unless governments are held accountable.
"We demand that world leaders sign a binding commitment with us directly—a contract with the youth of the world.
In this contract, we demand a commitment to meet - by 2020 - the key targets agreed in Nagoya, particularly:
1. To reduce or stop the loss of biodiversity.
2. To stop the extinction of species.
3. To reduce pollution to safe levels.
4. To restore and safeguard ecosystems and the services they provide.
5. To manage and harvest fish and shellfish sustainably without damaging the marine environment and ecosystems.
6. To ensure that terrestrial and inland waters and coastal and marine areas are sufficiently protected and are managed effectively and sustainably.
7. To conserve and restore nature and living organisms so that they can withstand and help to combat climate change and desertification. ( taken from http://www.zsl.org/ ) "
