24 Hours of Reality


 On 14 September kulula distributed 500 fruit and indigenous trees to residents in the dusty township of Tembisa in celebration of 24 Hours of Reality. The Climate Reality Project, founded and chaired by Al Gore, is launching a new global campaign to broadcast the reality of the climate crisis and mobilize citizens to help solve it. The campaign kicks off with 24 Hours of Reality, a worldwide, live streamed event on 14 and 15 September. The event will be broadcast to 24 time zones for 24 hours and in 13 languages and FTFA’s founder, Jeunesse Park, is honoured to be one of the 24 presenters.

“Since it is the poor who are and will suffer most as the sub continent becomes drier, according to scientific predictions and models, this education and awareness is vital,” said Jeunesse Park. “The simple act of planting a tree is a way of addressing this and involving even the poor living on marginalised land.”
