Why Cate cares about climate change

via Vanity Fair

Award winning actress Cate Blanchett may be an Australian native but she is a global citizen fighting for environmental freedoms. She traveled to Copenhagen on Monday to participate in the World Business Summit and give business leaders a piece of her mind.

Cate gave an impassioned speech urging the world leaders to seek eco-friendly methods to decrease their carbon emissions and increase sustainable practices. She also spoke about her homeland and how if things don’t change, Australia will face more disastrous fires like the ones from earlier this year.

The solution? Cate says we need to dramatically cut greenhouse pollution. Greenhouse gas emissions dramatically shot up in 2007—a dangerous contribution to global warming.
