Larsen C shelf is breaking off in Antarctica. The 5,800 skm iceshelf is three times the size of Tenerife. This is one of the biggest ice bergs starting to drift on the oceans and contributing to sea level rise & other climate impacts.

Here are recommendations which all of us can do daily to mitigate our impact on the environment and climate:
Transport
Walk, cycle, electric transport vs. using a fossil fuel powered vehicle
Food
Grow, buy locally, non-treated food
Energy
Save energy, use locally produced renewable energy
See overview of NZ renewables & some future possibilities.
Pollution
Don’t pollute, reuse, recycle, clean up rubbish every time you see some
Educate
Upskill yourself, share with others, teach others; build better & healthier buildings
