Climate Change: What can I do 1

Hello everyone,

I hope that you are all having a good day.

In my last post we looked at climate change and how it is important for everyone to know about it but knowing about it is only half the battle and this next step is going to be the hardest one yet. In this post I am going to discuss with you how we can combat climate change and how we can all help as individuals to save the world!

1. Reducing our carbon footprints.

We all know that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is the main gas causing the greenhouse effect and so by reducing our carbon footprints we can slow the rate of climate change and maybe get to a point where we can start to reverse the effects of manmade climate change. In order to reduce out carbon footprints we need to stop using fossil fuels and stop using electricity that comes from fossil fuels. Some ideas:
a)       When using a mobile phone use it till it runs out and once completely drained then charge it. After if it’s charged remove the power source. The same goes for laptops and other chargeable equipment as well.
b)       Put on some gloves and manually wash dishes instead of using the dishwasher ;)
c)       All lightbulbs can be changed to more energy efficient light bulbs (The energy rating can usually be found on the side of the box)
d)       We can also make an effort to switch off lights as we leave a room.

More to come each day :) Be a force for change!
Thanks for reading,
Heyze
