Combating Global Warming in Bangladesh

Global warming will hit Bangladesh hard. Climate-related natural disasters already have this nation's 150 million inhabitants seeking higher ground. Within 50 years scientists predict that 20 million Bangladeshis could be displaced if sea levels rise. Here's a story about one Bangladeshi who isn't waiting for that to happen. He's adapting his community to survive floods today.

Its messed up how the people of bangladesh teach their children in school how to help the environment (biodiversuty, conservation etc), but here in America many of our children don't even know that global warming exists and yet are the biggest cause of it :(

Thus, if you really want to fight against global warming spread your book to the whole nation not only within 200 students! This could be a project but donors cant laugh at it so fail project! If you maintain the project what it was before then we will support since its a chance for those particulars students. Otherwise this video message is like the following:

dont care social respecters or dont use condoms because we have vaccine for HIV/AIDS!

[Hasib1208]

This is really innovative..adapting to climate changes rather than doing nothing about it. Mr.Rezwan deserves recognition and support for his work. God bless Bangladesh!
