World“Job losses are expected to be dominated by males, while a large proportion of job gains will go to females. Some 60% of all job gains are expected to be part-time and the bulk of such jobs are expected to be in hotels and catering, business and other services. In terms of job losses the bulk are expected to come in elementary trades, process operatives, skilled metal and construction trades. Major gains are projected in caring and health, teaching and administrative and clerical occupations” NW FRESA 2002
Can Rotary survive & prosper?
Only by going back to its roots as a professional development organisation.
Only by being proactive on our Global ‘Addiction’ – the hugely profligate use of energy and other resources.
Only by enabling One planet Living on the only world we have.
Only by leading by example.
The time to act is now
The rescue ship in the form of renewables is not going to arrive anytime soon
We have to conserve rations and start marshalling the resources we can afford and
Reduce our Resource Intensity, the resource use per person per unit of service we consume
CarbonAct & RI4RI
Threat or opportunity?
Opportunity, because – although a change in the way we live our lives is required:
Our Grandchildren's future will be more secure
The development of low carbon technologies will be accelerated.
Is it selfish?
Acting now To protect your family? To protect - and benefit - your Business?
