4 Solutions to GlobalWarming

For example, improvements to energy efficiency and vehicle fuel economy, increases in wind and solar power, biofuels from organic waste, setting a price on carbon, and protecting forests are all potent ways to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and other gases trapping heat on the planet.

Why should we care about our planet?

As Earth heats up, people across the globe are experiencing more intense rainstorms, severe droughts, powerful tropical cyclones, and extreme heat waves. Rising sea levels are flooding coastal areas, destroying homes, precious natural spaces, and quite literally swallowing entire islands. Some populations of animals have started to die out. The most vulnerable among us – children, the elderly, and the poor – are in danger from increasing heat stress and air pollution.

Our lifestyles have a profound impact on our planet. Our choices matter. Around two-thirds of global greenhouse gas emissions are linked to private households. The energy, food, and transport sectors each contribute about 20 per cent of lifestyle emissions. From the electricity we use, to the food we eat and the way we travel, we can make a difference.
