Water by expert

"Whether freshwater or salt ocean water, conserving these vital resources is crucial to our survival."

These videos, images, and comments are a selection of the great entries that were uploaded on connect2earth in 2008. They participated in the 2008 competition, which brought the lucky winner to the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Check the

competition page to get all the details and to find out how you can take part in this year’s competition.

In 2008 connect2earth let community members have their say on the environment around them by uploading video, images, and comments around various themes related to sustainability.

Sustainability?

This is the ability to meet our needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. Today, however, the human race is plundering the planet at a pace that outstrips its capacity to support life.

Change that improves living standards while reducing our impact on the natural world will not be easy. The cities, power plants and homes we build today will either lock society into damaging over-consumption beyond our lifetimes, or begin to propel this and future generations towards sustainable living.

It's not too late to reverse the trend, but it will require governments, industry and individuals to make significant changes in their consumption patterns.
Only then can we begin to restore the balance between our consumption of natural resources and the Earth's ability to renew them.
