Climate change is happening right now in front of our eyes, and we need all the help we can get from everyone, including you. You might have heard about climate change in school or the news, but don’t really know how to help with the fight against climate change. Ordinary people like you can help, and this blog will help you inspire daily habits to help our one and only planet.
One way you can help to combat climate change is to rethink planes, trains, and automobiles. Yes, your everyday luxury transportation might be hurting the environment because it is a major source of climate pollution. There are so many other ways of transportation that can decrease the amount of pollution let into the air such as taking a bus, train, bike, or even walking once in a while.
Another way you can help is by powering your home with renewable energy and using your energy wisely. Choosing a wind or solar powered source of energy can emit less greenhouse gas emission from fossil fuels, and in return lessen the effect of rising temperatures contributed by these greenhouse gases.
The last and most important change to make is to speak up. Speaking up about the effects of climate change, what it does, and how to combat it can help people realize the detrimental effects it can have on us today and in the coming future. Talk to friends, family members, or even advocate it on your social media to make sure your voice gets heard and people will understand this is an important issue. And when our voices get heard, changes will be made to decrease the amount of greenhouse gasses being produced, protecting lands, and stopping deforestation.
Considering making these small changes can make a huge difference for our world and generations to come. The future of this planet comes down to the actions we make today, so let's make our actions influence our planet for the better.
