Global warming is undeniably effecting our planet. We have slowly but surely begun to adopt sustainable efforts in our town planning and design practises. In a unique move to highlight the issue of global warming, President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives held a meeting underwater. He and his cabinet "spent half an hour on the sea bed, communicating with white boards and hand signals" to sign a document that called for global cuts in carbon emissions. The Maldives, similarly to other areas of the world, face the threat of of their low lying island disappearing underwater.
"If the Maldives cannot be saved today we do not feel that there is much of a chance for the rest of the world" - President Mohamed Nasheed.Stirring words that are a reminder to us all of the planets plight.
