Mr Gibb: saving the planet?

Mr Gibb: Littlehampton wants you to follow the climate science, slow speeds and reduce traffic.

Big car Big footprint

Small car Small footprint

Reduce your CO2

What action you take to reduce your CO2

=

what future generations will think of you

Big spender Big footprint

Reuse & Repair

Reduce your CO2

Long flights
large footprint

short trips small footprint

Reduce your footprint

1 ton of CO2

produced by

5000 miles driving, 5000 miles in a plane, 2500 miles cruising, £1000 shopping, 1 ton of concrete,
1 dog per year, meat diet over 1 year

causes

temperature inrease, 8 tons dead fish
glacier melt 325 tons, flooding garden size flood
forest fire 1 football field

Reduce your CO2,

reduce your footprint

 

 

 

 

 

Respect other people

Reduce your CO2

Brandi (Colorado).."there's some smoke in the air..this is the constant position we are in (forest fires)".

John, (Vancouver) "50 degree heat this is..what's in store for us if we don't get this under control?"

Karla (Tuscon) " Whenever the rain does hit and the floods come in, it's like ..a full full force river running through your town."

Madina Kaarsho (Somalia) has had to migrate because of drought, and she has poor sight.

Nishey Nuron (Somalia) and her granddaugher are internally displaced due to drought and flooding.

Michelle Chipare (Zimbawe) discovered that her two-year-old daughter Brenda had died in a landslide.

What sort of future do you want for future generatons?

Climate disaster 2050 unless we convert to zero carbon. Zero carbon = minimal car use, flights, cruises etc. (IPCC Report 2023)

Without ZERO carbon, temperatures 50^o (2050) flooding and drought
=
500m people making forced migration
Zero carbon = minimal car use, flights, cruises etc.
(IPCC Report 2023)

Without ZERO carbon, high risk to life
=
500m people making forced migration
Zero carbon = minimal car use, flights, cruises etc.
(IPCC Report 2023)

By 2050, 800 million people will live in cities where sea levels could rise by more than half a metre.. without ZERO carbon ref

,
800m people flooded then forced migration
Zero carbon = minimal car use, flights, cruises etc.
(IPCC Report 2023)

Michelle Chipare (Zimbawe) Cyclone Idai affected Zimbabwe too, causing a massive landslide in the town of Chimanimani. The next morning, Michelle Chipare discovered that her two-year-old daughter Brenda had died in the disaster. Climate-related disasters not only cause immediate devastation, they pose a long-term threat to the livelihoods of Zimbabweans like Michelle and Brenda. As eighty percent of the population relies on rain-fed agriculture for their food needs, adapting to extreme weather is a matter of life or death.

In the UK the average person produses 10 tons CO2 a year, a rich person 40, but to stop the climate disaster we need to produce NONE = Net Zero

Big car, small car, less car. A new car: 30 tons of CO2. A big car produces 2 tons of CO2 a year (electric marginally less). The smaller your car and using it less reduces CO2.

Fly less. Each 5000m of flying produces 1 ton CO2 (a person).

Cruising..2500 miles a ton, so let's cruise less.

Reuse..buying new things..£1000 = 1 ton of CO2.

A new kitchen 30 tons..so lets reuse and refurbish. No concrete (1 ton of concrete = 1 ton CO2.)..use wood or other substitutes .

fast cars

fast cars, big cars, so many cars

frightening, isolating,

children staying at home only clicking 

but imagine slower cars, smaller cars, fewer cars, 

more walking, cycling, enjoying

children today

here were the children, not a moment to spare

now so many fast cars, that give them the scare

here the result, children only click here and there

do we care?

funding

There were children, dancing, mixing

here our new cars, flying, spending

leaving no funding

everything closing

traffic

traffic, traffic

cycling made a panic

the earth, nothing left organic

SUVs

so many SUVs
no walking with ease

so much CO2
the earth cannot do

feed people in great need
because of all our greed

voting

driving, speeding, flying, spending, polluting

we will be deciding

but are we thinking, caring

reclaim streets (dk, ch atgpt)

our streets, once a path to our leisure
now big cars and fast cars are parents pleasure

children clicking often trapped in their bedroom
parents stuck in their own traffic gloom

but imagine a world, children walking cycling
enjoying, dancing, training, scouting

are our leaders listening
or arguing not changing

a million pounds a road death
would fund a new path, a new breath

letting us all directly interact
fewer clicks, more chat

look at each other face to face,
in a shared space
