Stop using coal!
I was one of the activists who was intended to climb up on the 120m high cooling tower of the Can Coal Power Plant in Canakkale region order to highlight the dangers of burning fossil fuels which cause climate disasters. I wanted to say STOP DIRTY ENERGY. Wind, sun, water and biomass are endless, domestic energy sources which dont kill the climate. Human beings have the brain and the technology to benefit from those energy sources given to them by Mother Earth. In fact we have been using them for ages. The wind mills, sail boats, water heating systems WHY with the industrial age have we turned our backs to the environmentally friendly ways of living? Time is passing by and we are facing a huge global ecological crisis like climate change. We should be wiser, smarter and more civilized than our ancestors. The ancient cultures managed to live in Peace with the Mother Earth, using what nature has given them in peace and this creates a big question mark in my mind as to whether we are really advanced. Are we more civilized and smart destroying our very own home Planet Earth. Coal emits CO2 so I wanted my voice to be heard through this action: COAL CREATES CLIMATE DISASTERS AND THE SOLUTION IS IN OUR HANDS: WE DEMAND RENEWABLES AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY!
