Cop23: how to move from political to practice?
The Cop 23, organized by the Fiji Islands and hosted in Bonn promises to be political following the disengagement of the United States. Seazen is committed to a concrete solution accessible to all that may seem very far from environmental geopolitical issues. We believe that these 2 dimensions must go hand in hand. You will find in this article an inventory of "global" articles as well as a list of concrete actions that we think are achievable at the level of everyone.

There is a gap between the stakes of the planet and our daily lives
Since the launch of SeaZen, we have found that there is a gap between the world's climate change stories, the technology advances announced by the media, and the day-to-day practice available to the general public.
We have found through exchanges with our enthusiastic customers, that this is explained by a lack of information and the fact that it takes time to change our habits.
What can we do concretely on our scale?

Everyone must act at their level, changing their habits. We will try to sketch a simple list of achievable actions. This list is not exhaustive, far from it! We invite our readers to react to this article by proposing other concrete actions that seem relevant to them.
