Many studies have shown the gradual warming of the Earth and have
proved that human activity is causing it; the release of heat-trapping
greenhouse gases from fossil fuel combustion, deforestation and the
inefficient land use. Although the seasonal fluctuations might change and winters might be colder, the Earth's temperature is rising.
Climate change is real and it’s
happening right now while you read this on your device. Your
carbon emissions aren’t simply the CO2 you’re breathing out. That
amount is miniscule compared to the carbon emissions from all the
things you use. Unless you have a green energy provider, your house
gets its energy from a provider that uses fossil fuels and releases a
large amount of greenhouse gases.
As a human being who lives on the same planet as many other organisms,
we all have the responsibility of keeping this planet livable for
everyone, from the fishes to the red pandas to other humans.
I know what you’re thinking. “But don’t plants remove CO2? The Earth
will cool down naturally.” The problem is, humans are putting more
gases in the air than can be removed by natural processes. Which is
why, we the people, have to step in, and correct this blunder caused
by our predecessors.
You, and me, and everyone on this planet holds the key to the future.
All it takes is one caring person to spark a change. That could be
you. There is no reason why ordinary people can’t make a difference.
We can and we will, by doing small, do-able things.
Let's clean up our home. Go to
Take Action.
