“The most important thing about global warming is this. Whether humans are responsible for the bulk of climate change is going to be left to the scientists, but it’s all of our responsibility to leave this planet in better shape for the future generations than we found it.”
-Mike Huckabee

One of the major problems that we are faced with is the danger of Climate change and Global Warming. Both of these problems are interrelated and Global warming is mainly caused due to Climate change; climate change is due to the greenhouse gases which are emitted by human-made machines and products. There is no doubt that humans and human activities are slowly killing our planet. In a few decades, there will no longer be a planet for us to live on.

Can we stop this apocalypse? Is it possible to erase all the damage we have done and start afresh? The answer is ‘Yes’. Despite the horrible condition the Earth is in right now, there are many ways to save our planet. The only condition is that all people from all around the world must pitch in and cooperate with each other to reduce the damage we have done.
Speak up!
No one is going to do anything to help the world if they don’t know what the problem is. No one can hear us if we think about saving the planet in the confines of our room. It is time to speak up and let the world know what it is that we are doing wrong. You can start small and start by talking to your family, friends, and neighbors. Once you gain their support, it will get easier to spread the word. You can start with making petitions and making videos about what is happening in the world.
Make use of renewable resources
Our main sources of energy at present include fossil fuels, coal, and oil. These resources are getting depleted fast and they are not that safe for the environment either. Using alternatives to these fuels like solar power, wind energy, hydrothermal energy, and so on will make the energy production greener and will not affect the environment. Using these renewable sources of energy in everyone’s houses will make a huge difference to the total greenhouse gas production.

Drive Green
There are many alternatives to the conventional vehicles that we are used to. There are electric cars and autos now which make use of electricity rather than the fuel. These vehicles don’t emit any toxic fumes and are completely safe. There are also new electric trains, buses, hybrid cars and buses, and many more different green modes of transport. We can also carpool with our colleagues when we go to work instead of each of us taking our own cars. Traveling by bus is an even better idea as many people can go to the same place in one vehicle. This way, there are lesser cars on the road and lesser emissions as well.
Recycle
With the increase in population, there is an increase in waste production and the landfills get bigger. We can recycle many materials like paper, plastic, and metal and make completely different useful products. For example, paper can be recycled and made into more books or even the latest seed pens that are being manufactured now. Plastic substances can be melted and molded into new plastic products.

Plants trees
Plants are very important to the environment and they play an important role in keeping it healthy. Plants absorb most of the greenhouse gas emissions and clean the air of most toxins. Deforestation is one of the main reasons for climate change and global warming because most of the trees are being cut down and they can no longer protect the Earth. We have to start planting more trees and requesting others to plant trees as well. Having gardens in our homes can also be of help as we are contributing to saving the planet.

Reduce water waste
The most polluted places on the planet are the water bodies. People just dump most of their waste into nearby ponds, lakes, and rivers without considering how the aquatic life within them will be affected. Factories and industries also pump their harmful waste and by-products into the water bodies around them. Run-offs from agricultural practices cause Eutrophication or algal blooms on the surface of the water, preventing sunlight and oxygen from reaching the ground.
Stop wasting food
Most of the foods we buy come in plastic containers. The production of these containers produces harmful, toxic gases that are emitted into the atmosphere. The production of these containers increases when the demand for more food increases. We have to make sure that we buy only what we need and make sure that we completely utilize whatever food we buy completely before we buy more food. In this way, the demand for more food will decrease, thereby reducing the amount of plastic that is manufactured.

Remove plugs when not in use
When we finish using certain appliances, we have to remember to remove the plugs from the socket. Many devices like vacuums and power tools still use energy even when the switch is off. This is a huge waste of energy and we must do our best to remove all fully charged devices from the socket.
If all of us cooperate and make all these changes in our lives, it is certain that global warming can be reduced or even prevented. We have to make our voices heard and start the new revolution to change our lifestyle. The power for a better future is in our hands. We must do what we can to make the world a better place, not only for our fellow human beings, but also for all the animals, birds, and fish that roam this planet. We must make our home hospitable to all.
“It is unfortunately true that our generation and that of your parents have left you with a big mess that will now be yours to clean up: wars, budget challenges, pollution, global warming, battles of health care, natural disasters. They’re all there for you. We’re willing those to you. Are you ready?”
-John Morgridge
