Live today so that we have enough for tomorrow!

What you can do:

• Reduce your waste, recycle as much as possible

• Buy only as much food as you need, use it all and buy it from local supplier
• Share with your community, your time as a volunteer, carpool or take a bus
• Prepare for climate change, hotter, drier with more extreme weather
