RIO+20: WHAT KIND OF FUTURE DO YOU WANT?

We’re now in the two-week countdown to Rio+20, the UN’s conference on sustainable development in Brazil.

It’s 20 years since the landmark 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, the first time world leaders came together to debate the issues of development and the environment on the same platform.

What’s not up for debate is the urgency for action.

Take positive action for Earth Hour 2012

I grew up in a quiet country town in Australia and spent most of my childhood outdoors. Some of my fondest memories are climbing the big willow tree at my grandparents house; swimming with my cousins in the river and enjoying the freshly-picked produce from my grandfather’s garden.

Nature was my playground and I’m so grateful to have had that experience.
