12 Sure-Fire Ways to Stop Climate Change with Your Living Spaces
What is climate change?
Climate change is the increase in the average surface temperature of Earth. This has been identified as a long-term trend, and it’s mostly caused by human activities including the burning of fossil fuels. The main consequences are sea-level rise, wetter areas becoming dryer, more extreme weather (e.g., hurricanes), and changes to agricultural patterns.
The changes in climate are not only affecting the environment but also our lives. It can be hard to know where to start when you want to make a difference in your own life. The effects of global climate change are becoming more apparent, with scientists observing phenomena that they had predicted would happen.
We all have busy lives, sometimes we don’t even think about the impact of our actions on the environment because they’re so small compared to those who produce large amounts of waste every day. But every little bit helps.
This guide will show you how easy it is for everyone (even kids!) to do their part by making some simple changes around their home that will help save energy and reduce pollution from carbon emissions caused by fossil fuels burning plants like coal or oil power stations which produce harmful greenhouse gases such as CO2 into the atmosphere.
