It's time for a Cool Change
Welcome to our special Cool Change campaign page! Over the month of June, you will find all Fiji Times publications heralding a Cool Change for the nation, where we put renewed focus on local environmental and climate change initiatives.
We are doing this because we have much to celebrate – there's World Environment Day on June 5 and (drum roll please….) our climate change initiative One Degree turns 1 on June 25!
As Fiji Times managing director Evan Hannah says, this month-long Cool Change initiative is in support of those events as well as to celebrate the efforts of thousands of people across the country working on climate change action and the environment.
"It's an ideal opportunity for us as a company to showcase the progress we've made with One Degree as well as build and expand on reader awareness of environmental and climate change issues. We strongly believe that if every person made one degree of change in their life in support of the environment, Fiji, the Pacific and the planet will be better off," he says.
Our editor-in-chief Netani Rika says it's part of The Fiji Times' commitment towards ensuring a better future for everyone living here and generations yet to come.
"We want you to act on the possibilities available in terms of how every person can have a positive effect on our environment – whether it be in your school, home, community, suburb or workplace".
"As your partner in saving the environment and our planet, we will provide as much information as possible for individuals and groups to act and provide recognition for such initiatives through our publications. Together we can make a big difference to the type of environmental future we choose to have."
So keep an eye out for how you can join in to make a Cool Change for Fiji! And don't forget to check out the cool prizes we have in an exciting new competition ‘Do Up My Donut' where you can put your personal stamp on One Degree!
