hope in a changing climate
Is it possible to reverse the damage done by decades of abuse or climate change? Take a look at this video that begins with the once-barren Loess Plateau in China. John D. Lui of the Environmental Education Media Project shows how this community and others learned how to change their ways and bring prosperity to the plateau and environmental benefits to the land.
Not only does the documentary show the success in China, where the central government can force the population to alter their habits, but they show how villages in Ethiopia and elsewhere have also made remarkable improvements.
It’s not often we hear “hope” and “climate change” in the same sentence. Lui’s video shows us there is hope. Stories such as these need to be held up as examples for the rest of the world. Help spread the word by sharing this video.
