About 100 boys and girls participated in the MOVING PLANET flash-dance  with the demand to STOP THE RISE OF CO₂ emissions

24^th of September, Kyiv. The largest ecological flash-dance ever seen in Ukraine just happened at the People's Friendship Arch. About 100 participants – environmentally aware schoolchildren and youth – were dancing  in order to attract attention to the problem of climate change. They demand from the authorities of the country to stop the rise of CO₂ emissions and to implement practical environmental solutions.

Atmospheric levels of methane, 20 times more powerful than carbon dioxide (CO2) at trapping heat, stayed steady for two decades to 2006 on wider fertilizer use to grow rice or a surge in natural gas demand, according to two separate studies in the journal Nature.

With climate change and carbon dioxide emissions dominating the environmental conversation much of the time, the issue of plastic pollution tends to get short shrift. Still, the problem is worrying enough to be stirring serious concern among environmental and scientific experts, especially when it comes to plastic that ends up in the oceans, where it never quite biodegrades and can form a swelling gyre of sludge.

We are now in the age of the 'ecopreneuer' - the entrepreneur who builds a business around ecology and the environment, the carbon capitalist who sees climate change and the environment as a business opportunity.

Overwhelming evidence shows that human activities are affecting the global climate. Climate change has serious implications for public health. Catastrophic weather events, variable climates that affect food and water supplies, ecosystem changes are all associated with global warming and pose health risks.
