Global warming has become an undeniable fact in our lives. Over the past 50 years, the average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history. Global warming occurs as a result of CO2 emission, air pollutants and greenhouse gases. The earth's rising temperature leads to extreme weather events and natural disasters such as more frequent droughts, heavier rainfall, more powerful hurricanes, and melting of polar ice caps, etc. All species on the planet will suffer from the damaging impacts of this environmental problem if we do not take action right away. Below are a number of easy and effective ways for us to make a difference.
Investing in energy-efficient appliances is a good way to reduce CO2 emissions. When shopping for refrigerators or washing machines, you should look for the energy star label on the products. The more stars on the label, the more energy-efficient the appliance is. In addition, reducing water waste can help to reduce carbon pollution because it takes a considerable amount of energy to pump, heat, and treat water. Simple acts like taking shorter showers or turning off the tap while brushing your teeth can make a difference. Using public transportation, which leads to less driving, less money spent on fuel and less air pollution, is also strongly encouraged.
Little things make big things happen. Everyone can make their own contribution and proudly join in the environmental protection by following at least one of the above simple tips. Together we can make our planet a better place for many generations to come.
