An Extraordinary cabinet meeting in the Maldives!
President Mohamed Nasheed set a first on the 10th October 2009 when he held a cabinet meeting underwater. A veteran diver, the President staged this meeting to bring attention to climate change for the lowest lying country in the world.
Also a Time Magazine Hero of the Environment, President Mohamed offers this Green Tip:
'I walk to work every day, rather than take the presidential
limousine. It's better for the environment and I can stop and chat to
people on the way.'— Mohamed Nasheed
Environmental Action big or small always start with a single person. Through environmental behaviour change, we can all do our part to combat climate change.
