5 Things you can do Right now to act on Climate change

“The world must come together to confront climate change. There is little scientific dispute that if we do nothing, we will face more drought, famine, and mass displacement that will fuel more conflict for decades”

Barack Obama

It is said that nature has enough to satisfying everyone’s needs but not enough for everyone’s greed. Our mother nature has bestowed us with all that we need to survive and progress and yet we have been wasting all the natural resources. This has led to significant changes in the earth’s temperature, something that we call Global warming.

What is global warming?

Global warming refers to the ongoing rise in the average temperature of the earth’s climate system and occurs when greenhouse gases such as CO2 and other pollutants collect in the atmosphere and absorb sunlight and solar radiation. This leads to hotter heat waves, more frequent droughts, melting glaciers, rising sea level, and other severe climatic changes that leads to disruption of the habitats of several species.

It is high time that all of us get together to address this menace. Every individual can inculcate certain small changes in day to day lives, which may seem small but will collectively have a big effect on global warming

Use Carpool

By driving a little less or by going for other alternatives such as public transport and carpooling we can significantly cut down fuel consumption and save the environment. The biggest pollution emitting fumes are caused by oil and gasoline. Cutting down consumption is a huge step to reducing energy wastes.

Planting trees

It is the best way one can contribute to the Climate change. Planting more trees helps in reducing global warming more than any other method. They not only take in carbon-dioxide but also give oxygen which is the vital requirement for survival.
