The Greenback Nigeria Project
No one sat down and made a plan to change the climate. There was no international conference where massed campaigners lobbied leaders into an historic agreement that the globe needed warming. No one complained that sea levels were too low, that there was way too much ice, that rainy seasons were too long, and extreme weather patterns wren't extreme enough.

Climate change happened when we weren't looking. When we were concentrating on other things-like keeping warm, getting from A to B, enjoying being able to consume more and more...But if we can now see that climate change is here, most of us stll dont quite believe it. OK, few of us remain climate change deniers,but we still rarely feel the immediate connection between the CO2 emmisions of the industralised world and, say people in some part of Africa watching their homes being washed away. We dont quite believe there could be a link between heating our homes and heating the planet, between taking the car to the shops and Drought.

Thats why the world really does need a plan. Not to change the climate, but to slow the rate of change and enable those already affected to adapt to the new world, which they didnt choose. And to kickstart a new path to prosperity-sustainable development-where people who have yet to make poverty a distant memory can leapfrog into a low carbon future.

The Greenback Club believes that sustainability should be within everyone's reach. We are committed to continually reviewing and expanding our selections to provide our Members with the most relevant mix of sustainable information at no cost.

The Greenback club can save time and money by providing kits which adopts an inquiry learning methodology especially structured to help younger ones become informed and active global citizens - to make meaningful contribution to the climate change debate.

The Greenback club focuses on giving members additional values through enlightement programs, services for education and entertainment. The aim of the Greenback club project is to help the future generation understand the issues surrounding global warming; help them understand economy lifestyle that will help their household to reduce GHG (green house gas emmisions) ;help youths develop informed opinions, provide strategies to enable youths to have a voice in local and national decision-making; and finally, to encourage the youths to develop positive strategies to address the issue of global warming at local,national and international levels.

Earth Hour 2011 in Nigeria Earth Hour is a global WWF climate change initiative which is supported by Cloneshouse Nigeria as part of our greenback project - Individuals, businesses, governments and communities are invited to turn out their lights for one hour on Saturday March 26, 2011 at 8:30 PM to show their support for action on climate change.

The event began in Sydney in 2007, when 2 million people switched off their lights. In 2008, more than 50 million people around the globe participated. In 2009, hundreds of hundreds of millions of people in more than 4,000 cities and towns across 88 countries switched off their lights for one hour.

As part of events lined up for the day in Gwarinpa, Abuja, Nigeria, there will be an Earth Hour Walk at 8am; and a Candle - lit block party at Zakudia Lounge in Gwarinpa. for more information, click here
