Earths climate has always changed naturally over time. However, climate change now appears to be speeding up! Many recent changes in climate are caused by our modern way of life. Earth is getting hotter which can have a huge effect on the environment. How can we help? Just by turning off your computer or the TV when you're not using them, or the lights when you leave a room, or by walking to your school/office can reduce the level of waste gasses in the atmosphere. - Transportation-Avoid using transport that releases waste gasses in the air. You can cycle, walk instead. One can use Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, these cars will eliminate the greenhouses gas, they only produce water and air which are not harmful to the environment.
- Renewable energy-Use more energy from resources that there are plenty of, such as sunshine, wind and water. Generating electricity from solar panels, wind turbines and hydropower produce no harmful gasses to the environment.
- Grow your own food-Food grown at or nearer home saves on the fuel needed to transport it to local shops and they are also healthy.
