One of the most important topics of the climate change talks in Durban centres around Brazil’s rainforests.Brazil houses 30 percent of the remaining tropical rain forest on Earth, and has been a global leader in conservation and reducing emissions.
The country’s policymakers are considering changes to laws which would remove protection from an area equal to the size of France and the UK.
Forests are critical for people and wildlife, and also crucial to helping prevent runaway climate change.

One Liter Limited
1ℓimit faucet looks more like an elegant test tube inverted on top of a tap. The glass tube holds exactly one liter of water, sufficient for a quick handwash. The theory being that we waste almost six liters of water and use only one, while washing hands. Once the stored one-liter is used up, you have to turn-off the tap till the next one liter fills up the tube. A cumbersome rationing process that will hopefully drive home the point of conservation!
