BBA3 Housemates take on Global Warming

Lucille:
‘I’ve learned a lot about global warming. Cold currents become warm currents which means certain fish can’t live in them. So the countries lose money. It’s the same as in this house……………………………’ oh yeah?

Hazel:
‘I think it’s happening fast. More in industrialized countries when they pollute the air so they direct sun rays that are dangerous to earth and the ice that we have in the oceans’.

Morris:
‘Someone should look out and realize the environment needs to be safeguarded. That’s what we’re trying to do’.

Munya:
‘When you ask nations to slug on industries, you put them in a position where they have to sacrifice their way of life. Honestly I think Africa has the secret to sustainable energy and a lot of money should be pumped into sustainable energy. Clean sustainable energy. I don’t think nuclear energy is the solution’. He refers biggie to Al-Gore’s documentary ‘An Inconvenient Truth’. ‘It’s not just a myth. The fact that the rainy seasons have changed and the temperatures are visibly changing around us means our planet is trying to tell us something’.

Sheila:
Unfortunately I missed Sheila’s but she gave an example of Kenya’s Nobel Prize Winner Wangari Maathai and her relentless fight against environmental degradation and carbon emissions. She gave a solid explanation in short.

I didn’t get for any other of the housemates either. But I’d have wanted to hear what the house newspaper Wilhelmina had to say about global warming. And Latoya too.
