COP15 has started and it’s been an amazing week here at ActiveBE. We only have 212 pledges left to reach our goal. We're over half way there. With the world watching events unfold in Copenhagen, now is the time to spread the word about building CO2 emissions.

Buildings are the number one source by a wide margin. Globally, it is estimated that they are responsible for around half of all greenhouse gas emissions. By comparison, all emissions from cars, SUVs, trucks, airplanes, trains and ships combined would not even equal half the emissions from buildings.

By significantly decreasing the emission of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, climate change should stabilize. This will require reducing fossil fuel dependence and burning what we do use in a much more efficient manner. It will involve implementing renewable energy (wind, wave, solar, etc.) on a wide scale. Most importantly, it will require all of us to increase our energy awareness and change the way we use energy in our day-to-day activities.

Leave your pledge today and together we can work to change the future.
