More people also means more CO2 production
from respiration and less trees to make room for
human population
Smog and Pollution From Factories
Methane is released by
coal mining, landfills,
and by agriculture,
particularly through the
digestive processes of
beef and milk cows.
What can be done?
First we must admit that
climate change is everyones
problem. No agency,
government, or scientist can
fix it for us. We are all in this
together.
We got here because of our
lifestyle. So our lifestyle has to
change.
Heres what you can
do
Heating and Cooling
In the average home, 17% of energy is used to heat
water.
RENEW, RECYCLE,
REUSE
YOU HAVE A CHOICE
You can choose to
SAVE THE EARTH
Take a pledge today to adopt
the
strategies to reduce climate
change
and lets all join in the effort to
make the
earth smile again
and there may never be again. Do your part.
