the green dream

Welcome to The Green Dream, an interactive website on Global Warming.

You talk.

And you talk.

And you talk somemore.

You argue if it is a problem

as my polar caps weep

and my polar bears groan

over their ruined homes.

You tell me how much better

it will be - that it is not

necessarily a problem:

Greenland will be green

and the rich North will prosper.

You tell firms how much better

it will be - that it is not

necessarily a problem:

Profits are to be made

from green technology

and the rich North will prosper.

You tell me how much better

I will be - that it is not

necessarily a problem:

When, then, will

necessary come?

When will you see that it is now a necessity?

How does the future look to you? Maybe it involves flying cars, never ending tall buildings, futuristic technologies and science fiction sceneries. A robot that makes you dinner and assists you in minor duties sounds tempting. Simply think about it: the human intelligence dedicated to solve scientific problems and finding cures to long-known deadly diseases because these robots are taking care of our house and performing agricultural tasks.

However, this optimistic future has a low probability of becoming true. The reason is evident: global warming, the major threat in our Earth.

You hear about it on the news or even discuss the situation while eating dinner with your family and friends. The problem is the following: are you completely aware of the devastating consequences global warming is bringing right now and the resources you possess in order to do something? If you do not know or are uncertain about some of the topics regarding the issue, feel free to read this Webpage, a YFCI project called The Green Dream Initiative.
