As the United Nations summit on climate change takes place in Copenhagen many people around the world are dubious as to whether the summit will actually produce real change and whether the one hundred and ninety two nations involved can come to a binding resolution when it comes to carbon emissions. Key world leaders also expressed their doubt leading to the summit, especially when it came to the involvement of richer western nations like the United States, who are seen to be a key player in any changes that must occur. As developing nations expand by the day people are becoming rapidly aware that it will take a worldwide effort to help these nations become greener as they try to expand and help the lives of their citizens.
After it was announced that many of the delegates for the summit would be arriving in limos and private jets it became even clearer that real change is going to have to come from individual houses and communities.
This is why the United Kingdom has seen many new innovative schemes popping up which aim to lower carbon emissions. Following the United States example, more waste to energy plants are being developed in the United Kingdom, some of which even use dirty baby nappies to create energy. In addition, companies like Nokia and Samsung have been doing their part by increasing awareness about the importance of e-waste recycling by launching a variety of schemes aimed at increasing the rates of recycling around the world.
