“Let The Glacier Cool” School Tour – Will Legend Safeguards the Last Piece of Pure Land on the Earth, Supports The United Nations (UN) Paris Agreement, Water Action Agenda, Practices The Protection of The Third Pole, Antarctic and Arctic

Will Legend “Let The Glacier Cool” School Tour

Will Legend advocates safeguarding the glaciers, glacial water sources at the society and community level, through educate and promote in responding to climate change, supporting low-carbon lifestyles, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions “Dual Carbon Targets (carbon peak and carbon neutrality)”. Will Legend created “Let the Glacier Cool” programme, leading the balance between glacier accumulation and ablation, showing the public and students how to apply the belief of “Supporting Social and Economic Development with Glacier Ecosystems, and Giving Back to Glacier Conservation with Economic Results” – meaning while improving economic and social development, we should practice peaceful and balanced coexistence with nature and seek sustainable development of peace, health and prosperity for humans now and in the future.

Safeguard the Fragile “Asian Water Tower” The glaciers in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the huge glaciers in Xinjiang, such as the Qilian Mountains, Altai Mountains, Tianshan Mountains and Kunlun Mountains form clean glacial water sources. Here is the starting point of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, the mother rivers of the Chinese, and also the birthplace of 13 rivers in Asia, including the Mekong River, the Indus River, and the Ganges River. There is also the only river in China that flows northward into the Arctic Ocean – the Irtysh River, originating from the Altai Mountains. There are 50,000 square kilometers of lakes, 100,000 square kilometers of glaciers, 300,000 square kilometers of perennial snow, and more than 9 trillion cubic meters of water resources, which involve the survival and development of more than 2 billion people, so it is called the “Asian Water Tower”.  Cover Glacier With “Cooling Patch”, Let the Glacier Cool Will Legend uses the meaning of Tibetan prayer flags to let the glaciers cool. (Red – Fire) Build a large fan (wind power generation) to blow away the hot and high temperature for the glaciers; (Yellow – Land) Plant sunflowers and flowering plants on the land to cool down the glaciers; (Green – Water) Increase the number of phytoplankton in the ocean to absorb greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide) for glaciers; (Blue – Sky) Build land-based blue ocean photovoltaic power generation, let heat becomes vitality; (White – White Clouds) Build “Cooling Patch” (reflective heat insulation materials) to reflect short-wave solar radiation.

Let the Glacier Cool, Let the Earth Cool  As the Third Pole of the Earth, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the storage of ice and snow second only to the Antarctic and the Arctic. Half of the world’s population depends directly or indirectly on glaciers as a source of water for domestic use, agriculture and power generation. Glaciers are also the backbone of biodiversity and support numerous ecosystems. When glaciers melt rapidly, humans are at increased risk of natural disasters such as water shortages and floods.
