Global warming - one of the most important environmental issues in the world, refers to the long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. The shift is natural, but since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver for climate change and increase the process of global warming by a lot.

Since human activities have been the main driver of climate change, there is something we can do to slow down this process. Everyone can help limit climate change. From the way we travel to the electricity we use and the food we eat, we can make a difference. Starting with these cations can help tackle the climate crisis.

1. Save Energy at Home

Much of our electricity and heat are powered by coal, oil, and gas. They produce heat-trapped gas during the process of generating electricity. Saving your energy at home by lowering your heating and cooling, turning off the light when you leave the room, or switching to LED light bulbs and energy-efficient appliances would decrease the amount of energy used, therefore, produce less amount of heat trapped gas.

2. Walk, bike, or take public transport

Most vehicles are burning diesel or gasoline when the engine starts to move. Walking or riding a bike instead of driving a vehicle would reduce the greenhouse gas produced, and keep your health and fitness, for longer distances, consider taking a bus, it will reduce the greenhouse gas by a dramatic amount.

3. Eat more vegetables

Eating more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and seeds, and less meat and dairy can decrease the environmental impact. Producing plant-based foods generally results in fewer greenhouse gas and requires less energy.
