we can't consume our way to a more sustainable world

Climate change is for sure a very essential discussion that is seen at different angles by various people, for Africa it is a complete different matter from the western world, having mostly witnessed climate change impacts.

I can frankly say it is not a matter of who should be more responsible than the other or who is to be made accountable, but it has become a call that we must all answer for the sake of the generations to come. Most people want to create a good life or future for their families or loved ones but the impacts, challenges and effects of climate change would eventually harm not only our loved ones but everyone else included, that being the case the mechanisms set forth to work on restoration and minimization of climate change effects must be aimed and focused on sustainability as it's goal since the more time passes who knows for certain the extent of damage it does for the future generation.

Sustainability is more crucial in areas such as Africa whose source of livelihood to a great extent depends on the climatic conditions of the area, that is to say if the climate fails, it is likely people to die than survive on their own, but through proper mechanisms that should be in place, such could be prevented and the worst avoided. As the saying goes, a stopped clock is right twice a day, perhaps all these impacts are signs from nature to urge the world to better preserve the earth in a sustainable manner or way.

Being green is more than just buying eco, it is an unshakable commitment to a sustainable lifestyle among the goals to climate change should be its sustainability, the fear that lies beneath, is that the very climate we see now might not be there in the future but rather just a more worst climate might result, the beauty of the generations passing on their life to another generations can be seen when people plant tree that they know they would not be there to sit under its shed rather it is for the next generation to come.

Imagine if Trees gave off Wi-Fi signals, people would plant so many trees that would probably save the planet, but the trees give out a more important element which is oxygen that we breathe though that still does not seem to be the case for people to see the need for their sustainability. The first rule of sustainability is to align with natural forces or at least not try to defy them.
