“While writing my book about global warming, I was especially looking for good examples of places in the world where global warming is already a threat to people's lives. Everybody knows the examples of the Inuit, Bangladeshi and so on, but I wanted to show people that it is more complicated than this, and that the fragile balance of nature is disturbed. My publisher, who is a photographer of African tribes, told me about the El Molo, a fishermen tribe, living at the borders of Lake Turkana, in northern Kenya. Due to two main reasons the lake is losing about 60 cm of water a year: lack of rain, and damming of the Omo River, coming from Ethiopia. They still have enough water, but the water contains too much natural salt and fluoride.

Fluoride is really poisoning these people because water evaporates and minerals are left behind. Aqua Afrika is a foundation that is concerned about these people and tries to help them in their search of drinkable water. We have already found some good water, in the Ngobole oasis, but it is too far away to go and fetch the water for food preparation. So we bought them donkeys. We're now looking at piping the water from the oases. But we're still looking for money. I must confess that this subject really touches people (during presentations) and convinces them that global warming is real."

Tomasz Zubilewicz tries to raise awareness on climate change even on his voicemail message! Before asking "leave a message", Tomasz says: "We all consume too much energy – switch off the light when you do not need it! By doing this you can help prevent climate change from happening".
