Climate Change

Every day we told to save water, save trees and to look after our precious planet.

Who is responsible for climate?

The people responsible for climate change are the ones who create cars, the people who drive those cars any person who releases

This is what we were left with to do our laundry

emissions and gases into the air.

Who suffers most from this climate change?

The people in rural areas are the ones who take the pinch because of this. They are the ones who have to suffer from lack of rain.

The Eastern Cape still has areas where the locals are completely dependent on the river. The government has limited programmes in place to deal with this.

If residents run out of water nothing is done by the municipality. The further you are from the municipality or town the less they care about you.

Many South African are deprived of the most basic needs.

I remember September last year we had to walk for an hour to get to the “cleanest” spring, when we got there we had to out cloths to filter the water.

In less than a week the whole village was up in arms because the bottom half of the village was accused of waking up very early, using too much water and others were doing their laundry.

The river was completely dry. To avoid killing each other, some people decided to walk for three hours  to the Kei River.

A lot of things like this event happen in these areas and no one in authority ever notices.

it is amazing what change in climate can do in one place. Drought can lead to poverty which leads to crime and violence
