Uploaded by Shayshay7 on Nov 16, 2021
Did you know the effects of climate changes include rising sea levels, regional changes in precipitation, more frequent extreme weather events such as heatwaves, and expansion of deserts? Ocean acidification is also caused by greenhouse gas emissions and is commonly grouped with these effects even though it is not driven by temperature. Surface temperature increases are greatest in the Arctic, which has contributed to the retreat of glaciers, permafrost, and sea ice. Overall higher temperatures bring more rain and snowfall, but for some regions droughts and wildfire increase instead. Climate change threatens to diminish crop yields, harming food security, and rising sea levels may flood coastal infrastructure and face the abandonment of many coastal cities. Fortunately, there are always things that we can do to fight against these terrible changes. Saving the environment starts with us and it is our responsibility to act against these terrible changes to preserve the planet for future generations.
Recycle
According to King county.gov, Page one. “ recycling helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing energy consumption.” Manufacturing plants emit a large number of greenhouse gasses per year. It is unavailable in the production of goods that we use on a regular basis. However, a cleaner alternative would be to invest in recycling. Recycling is a cost-effective and eco-friendly process that eliminates waste and doesn’t emit greenhouse gasses into the environment. Be sure to collect your discarded paper, glass, plastic, and electronics at your local recycling center the professionals will take these items to a processing plant where there will be remade into other recyclable materials again.
Be More Conservative with Energy Usage
According to science direct.com, on page one. “ energy conservation has often been referred as to the fifth fuel, the other for being the so-called primary or fossil fuels of wall solid oil liquid, gas, and nuclear hydroelectricity.” Becoming more energy efficient is a great way to prevent pollution. It causes the power plant to expend less energy that can lead to the production of greenhouse gasses. This means that you should do what you can to cut down on energy usage in households. Make sure to turn off lights and unplug devices that you are not using anymore when you are done with them. Replace light bulbs with energy-efficient light bulbs to help you save electricity.
