Induced by man, global warming concerns all living beings on our planet: humans, plants, animals, microorganisms, … The increasingly dramatic consequences spare no one.   On the one hand, the catastrophic discourse claims that all is lost. On the other hand, magical thinking relies on the technological goddess.

But as a citizen, leader or organization, do we manage to establish our share of responsibility in this state of affairs?  Do we have an idea of the existing possible solutions?  However, they are numerous and accessible to all.  This workshop provides an opportunity to take stock of the solutions that are part of our attitudes, behaviours and actions on a daily basis. To fight against global warming, only two obligations: boldness and willingness to act.

The observation is without appeal. No matter what issues challenge us, there is only one origin: our unbridled consumption. The famous “always more” and “never enough”. If every human consumed like a Canadian, a Luxembourger or an American, we would need 5 planets to satisfy his needs.

But precisely, how to define a need? Depending on whether one lives in a rich and developed country or a developing country, this definition differs. How to become aware of this unbridled over consumption? This workshop offers us an important and non-guilt-inducing reflection on our role as an economic actor or citizen.  It helps us take stock of gestures, behaviors and actions that can easily fit into our daily lives.

The advent of the internet, social   networks and streaming media have completely changed the portrait of information. Never has the world suffered from such bulimia. In this jungle where judicious, dubious, or even dangerous information rubs shoulders, it is now difficult to navigate.

In this era of social and ecological awareness, companies, organizations, and individuals have a weapon of mass destruction: disinformation-propaganda. This workshop takes stock of the pernicious technique of “greenwashing”. Concrete cases of this strategy demonstrate that organizations never hesitate to “misinform”, by falsely associating a product with a social or environmental vision.
