By Nare /Armenia Ways You Can Help Reduce the Climate Change Say no to plastic
Plastic or polyethylene without a doubt is harmful, not only for the health of humans but also for the health of the biodiversity. Banning plastic from the environment will automatically reduce the levels of pollution to several folds. But considering the abundance of plastic in every nook and corner of our life, the task seems unrealistic. But some small steps can considerably decline the amount of plastic pollution from our lives. These are:
Using a recyclable cloth bag
Discarding the plastic bottles and using glass, clay, stainless steel or copper bottles.
Replace your plastic lunchboxes with steel ones
Use energy wisely — and save money too!
Consider making some or all of these small changes. Together, they can really add up. A house with a furnace is like a car that idles all day. Swap your furnace for a heat pump, which works by extracting heat from one location and transferring it to another
· Install a programmable thermostat
· Swap your gas stove for an electric stove, which will also lower indoor air pollution
· Unplug computers, TVs and other electronics when you’re not using them
· Wash clothes in cold water. Hang-dry your clothes when you can and use dryer balls when you can’t
· Look for the Energy Star label when buying new appliances
· Winterize your home to prevent heat from escaping and try to keep it cool in the summer without an air conditioner
· Change to energy-efficient light bulbs
· Get a home or workplace energy audit to identify where you can make the most energy-saving gains. By Karine/Armenia
1. Instead of using plastic bags, we should use cloth bags.
2. Replace your bulbs with energy-saving bulbs. In this way, you prevent 20 kg of carbon dioxide gas from being released into the atmosphere annually.
3. Use solar power. You can supply a significant part of your hot water needs from solar energy.
4. While cooking, keep the pan lid closed in boiling water. In this way, you can save a significant amount of gas. When you use the pressure cooker, your savings will reach 70%!
5. Cover your door and window openings with suitable materials. You can reduce your fuel costs by 30% by preventing air leaks in your building.

As we know, global problems arise with the pollution of the world by humans. Global problems:
Mainly greenhouse gas:
Factory wastes
2-Filterless factories
3-Using fossil fuels
4-Deodorant on
Methane gases
There are many reasons I cannot count yet.
1-Filtering factories
2-Prepare a place for factory waste
3-Reduce the use of deodorant
4-Planting a tree
5-To raise awareness of the society
6-Saving energy
7-Using renewable energy sources
8-Recycle
9-Avoiding costs
Reduce emissions - use your car less, use your bicycle and public transportation
Save energy - Always adjust the thermostat for heating and air conditioning
Reduce: consume less, more efficiently
Reuse: take advantage of second-hand markets

How to prevent Climate change
( Tunisian teams )
1. Make Your Commute Green
Millions of people drive to work every day., the downside to this is that millions of cars emit greenhouse gases that destroy our atmosphere, taking public transportation to work is a great way to cut out emissions. Riding your bike to work is also incredibly helpful to the environment and is a great method to get exercise.
2. Be More Conservative with Energy Usage
Becoming more energy efficient is a great way to prevent pollution. It causes the power plants to expend less energy that can lead to the production of greenhouse gasses. Make sure to turn off lights and unplug devices that you are not using anymore when you are done with them. Replace your light bulbs with energy-efficient light bulbs to help you save electricity too.
3. Get Active and Vote
One of the best ways to improve climate change to is to help those who will fight against it get into office. This means voting for legislation and politicians that aid against the detrimental effects of climate change. Voting the right people into office will help pass legislation that allows us to fight against these corporations that are mainly to blame for climate change.
4. Recycle
Manufacturing plants emit a large number of greenhouse gasses per year. It is unavoidable in the production of goods that we use on a regular basis. However, a cleaner alternative would be to invest in recycling. Recycling is a cost-effective and eco-friendly process that eliminates waste and doesn’t emit greenhouse gasses into the environment. Be sure to collect your discarded paper, glass, plastic, and electronics to your local recycling center. The professionals will take these items to a processing plant where they will be remade into other recyclable materials again.
5. Educate Yourself and Others
The importance of educating others about climate change cannot be overstated in our modern society. There are many platforms for us to utilize that can allow us to spread our message easily. Whether you use word of mouth or social media, there are always ways to educate others on what climate change is doing to our planet. You can help protect the planet by educating others about the dangers of climate change and how to act against it.
6. Encourage the use of renewable energies
Focusing your efforts to spread awareness about renewable energy is the best way to create a positive impact in your community. By informing others about how renewable energy is better than utilizing fossil fuels, you will sway others into investing in the idea.

The health of wildlife, people, and the habitats they rely on are all interconnected. Effects on one part on an ecosystem affect other parts over time, and climate change is already impacting many species of native wildlife in the world.
Essential to the overall health of countless plants and ecosystems, pollinators are facing many of the same challenges of birds and other wildlife. In some cases, they are struggling to keep up with the rate of climate change and getting out of sync with earlier blooms of the plants they pollinate.

Less mobile than birds, land mammals often face more obstacles when adapting to changes in their ecosystems. Lakes, development, and segmented or isolated natural areas keep land mammals from migrating to suitable climates as they need to.
Additional stressors, like an increasing abundance of ticks, disease, and pests are major risk factors.

Marine life faces challenges from warming waters and ocean acidification. Warming waters alter the latitude and depth at which certain species are able to survive, so many species are moving deeper or father north in the Atlantic to find cold water. More acidic oceans keep crustaceans, coral, and other organisms from developing.
The result is widespread disruption of interconnected food webs.
