IT'S IN OUR HAND

-
Education is an essential element of the global response to climate change. It helps people understand and address the impact of global warming, increases “climate literacy” among young people, encourages changes in their attitudes and behaviour, and helps them adapt to climate change related trends.

Everyone knows that climate change is real and happening now. What many people don’t know is that we have the solutions in our hands.

In recent years, climate change has come into focus as a large issue. I believe that the environment stands as a large challenge to today’s society, because of the how much the world has changed over the years. Never before has humanity been faced with a challenge to save earth resulting from consequences of human actions. The environment encompasses multiple concerns including, climate change, renewable energy, and pollution. Currently, I find climate change, renewable energy, and pollution to be the most vital challenges to solve through global communication and awareness.

Climate change is a serious problem and the effects can clearly be seen through new and extreme weather. I think that many people have under estimated climate change, because they automatically associate it with global warming and do not believe that it is real. However, it is a huge and growing concern. Climate change is an accepted scientific consensus proven by a large amount of data. The first step to impacting climate change is to change this mistaken view. By stressing the amount of evidence showing that climate exists, the need to work to reduce it will become apparent. Then, actions can be made to slow climate change. Climate change is largely influenced by human activities and the production of greenhouse gases. By reducing the world’s carbon foot print, the effects of global warming will become less extreme. Currently, global warming is melting the polar ice caps, causing a threat to humans leaving in tropical and coastal islands. 
To prevent climate change, you will have to do your part and learn to live a green life. Electricity, automobiles, and all carbon emissions are the main causes of climate change. Follow these steps to learn ways you can help prevent climate change, often called global warming.

A very simple way to save some energy is by changing all of your regular incandescent light bulbs with a compact fluorescent light bulb which are more efficient. Unplug electronics when not in use. A small amount of electricity is used even when a device is not on but still plugged in. Recycling plastic bottles instead of just throwing them away. You can also recycle paper, like newspapers. Always make sure you recycle cans and glass bottles also. Some states charge you 5 or 10 cents a bottle or can which you’ll get back with you return them.
If we don’t start protecting the planet, future generations won’t have a beautiful planet to experience life on.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

-

Planning the waste management and recycling for all of the rubbish produced in this country is an enormous task which involves both logistical planning and scientific knowledge and understanding in order to balance the impact on the environment and the cost effectiveness of the process. Waste management and recycling companies are also feeling an extra pressure to perform their role in the greenest ways possible. It is important to remember that the UK’s resources and landfill sites are limited and this has a major bearing on the kind of activities that are carried out. Waste collection and rubbish disposal play an extremely important role in the global cleanliness and sustainability drive, with people’s health and the conservation of resources being the responsibility of every government. To ease the pressure on government agencies, numerous privately-managed organisations also play a part in these waste management and recycling programs. In many cities it means that local...
