During the past year Global Climate Change has become a big topic in the newspapers, television news, radio discussions and television documentaries in the UK.

Barely a day goes by without some form of news or information being broadcast about carbon dioxide levels, transport, pollution, wildlife and a host of other topics that are linked to global climate change.

is this the same situation in many other countries? I think many people in the UK would probably consider us to be behind some of the European countries, especially Scandinavia, when it comes to an awareness of the environment. However, we would probably put ourselves ahead of the United States.

So what's it like in the country that you live in? Are there many local and national initiatives to raise awareness of global climate change. Is it something that they teach in schools or regularly broadcast on television?
