The importance of climate change

CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate change brings with it an increase in temperature and great effects on nature, thanks to the actions we carry out every day. We will soon destroy our planet if we do not create prevention measures. The main greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change are carbon dioxide and methane. Agriculture and oil and gas-related activities are major sources of methane emissions. Energy, industry, transportation, buildings, agriculture, and land use are among the top emitters.

The emission of greenhouse gases causes the atmosphere to retain more heat than necessary and with it an increase in temperature at a global level. If the temperature increases, there will be a melting of glaciers and ice sheets, sea levels will rise and it will cause flooding. 

9 measures to take care of climate change

1. We are going to start recycling more to help the environment. If we do not recycle, we generate a lot of garbage and affect the quality of the soil and living beings.

    

                    

2. We are going to plant more trees to absorb carbon dioxide.  If there are no trees, there will be death and disappearance of the species that depend on trees for their food sustenance and a large part of the chain to which they belong, dry and infertile lands, oxygen would be depleted and carbon dioxide would increase

                   

3. You need to save energy by turning off lights and unplugging devices when not in use.

                   

4.We are going to bring reusable bags and containers to avoid single-use plastics.  

                  

5. We will not waste water by leaving the tap running while brushing our teeth. If we continue to use water, in the coming years we´re going to leave rivers, lakes and wetlands dry, causing a shortage of this resource

                   

6. We will reduce our use of plastic by choosing products with minimal packaging. If we use plastics we will pollute the soils and seas, affecting animals and ourselves, causing severe damage to our planet

                   

7. You'll participate in community cleanup events to help keep the environment clean.

                    

8. You'll choose energy-efficient appliances to reduce your home's energy consumption.

                 

9. We will compost organic waste to reduce the amount of trash sent to landfill

                  

Let's take care of our planet to live in a better world, free of pollution
