What I do to overcome climate change

Climate Change Solutions You Can Do Yourself

You can fight climate change simply by changing what you eat. You can significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions by eating less meat, choosing local foods when possible and buying food with less packaging. / Gökcen ERİŞEN,TURKEY

Some ways to prevent climate change are by trying to reuse as much as possible, recycling, reducing single-use plastics,if possible,switching to renewable energies,planting trees and walking or using the bycicles more that cars. / Diana Tirnovanu Romania -Lazar Edeleanu High School

How I Can Stop climate change

Drive a fuel-efficient vehicle

Gas-smart cars, such as hybrids and fully electric vehicles, save fuel and money.

Maintain your ride.: If we all kept our tires properly inflated, we could save 1.2 billion gallons of gas each year. Thikra Shoubieta \ Jordan

Invest in energy-efficient appliances

When shopping for refrigerators, washing machines, and other appliances, look for the Energy Star label. It will tell you which are the most efficient. Thikra Shoubieta \ Jordan

Power your home with renewable energy

Choose a utility company that generates at least half its power from wind or solar and has been certified by Green-e Energy, an organization that vets renewable energy options. Thikra Shoubieta \ Jordan

Rethink planes, trains, and automobiles

Choosing to live in walkable smart-growth cities and towns with quality public transportation leads to less driving, less money spent on fuel, and less pollution in the air. / Thikra Shoubieta \ Jordan

Speak up

Haq says. By voicing your concerns—via social media or, better yet, directly to your elected officials—you send a message that you care about climate change.

Thikra Shoubieta \ Jordan

Make Your community Green

Save our Forests. Plant a Tree where you can. Go paperless at home and in the office. Buy recycled products and then recycle them again. Buy certified wood products. Support the products of companies that are committed to reducing deforestation. Raise awareness in your circle and in your community.

CONSUME LESS, ENJOY LIFE MORE

“We use too much, too much of it is toxic and we don’t share it very well. But that’s not the way things have to be. Together, we can build a society based on better not more, sharing not selfishness, community not division.” Ripeanu Arsaluis Luiza, Romania

Drive the time limit

Drive fewer kilometers

Individual measures against climate change

For this, we can list what we can do as individuals: reducing the number of car and plane boardings, turning to 'green' energy producers, paying attention to what we eat and what we buy.

Although the climate change issue is important in itself and has the capacity to affect others, of course, it will not be solved by small changes that few people will make.

Larger systemic changes should also be made, especially in the energy and food industry, which

commonly use fossil fuels such as oil. In addition, new incentives should be focused on agriculture, protection of forest areas and waste and waste management.

Since HFCs used in refrigerators and air conditioners heat the atmosphere much more than CO2, it is also necessary to give priority to the measures to reduce their emissions. / TOPRAK ORHAN,TURKEY

Go sollar

Many people have caught the energy efficient bandwagon of solar energy. Having solar panels installed is something readily possible and available. Incentives and discounts given by government agencies and energy companies make solar energy something to look into.

Buy Energy-Efficient Appliances

Always buy products that are energy efficient as they can help you save a good amount of money on your energy bill. Energy-efficient products can help you to save energy, save money and reduce your carbon footprint.

Turn off electronic devices

Turn off electronic devices when you are moving out for a couple of days or more. Unnecessary usage of electronic appliances will not only save fuel i.e. coal by which we get electricity but also increase the lifetime of your gadgets.

Download Earth Saving Apps:

Apps like Kil-Ur-Watts and Wiser EMS not only help calculate your energy costs but provide tools and ways to save energy and money.

Diana Tîrnovanu - Romania

Conserve water

This is a tired tip, but ever so important. If we added up the water wasted by the millions of Americans brushing their teeth, we could provide water to more than 23 nations with unclean, drinking water. Remember, it takes energy to draw and filter water from underground.

Arşaluis Luiza Rîpeanu - Romania

Check Your Tires

Make sure your tires are inflated properly when you drive. If not, then your vehicle might consume more fuel which in turn release more CO2 in the atmosphere. Keep your engine properly tuned and drive less aggressively. Aggressive driving and frequent applying of brakes hampers the engine and can even lower the mileage of your car.

Become Part of the Global Warming Community:

Connecting with others will help you become more conscious of the impact we all have. The Climate Change National Forum and Global Humanitarian Forum are great avenues to know the latest facts, statistics, and efforts in making a difference.

Diana Tîrnovanu - Romania

Become Aware of Your Contribution:

With technology within your fingertips, finding information about protecting the environment is everywhere. To help emit less CO2, the first step is being aware of how much you contribute.

Alina Cordoneanu - Romania

Spread the Awareness:

Always try your best to educate people about global warming and it causes and after effects. Tell them how they can contribute their part by saving energy that will be good for the environment. Gather opportunities and establish programs that will help you to share information with friends, relatives, and neighbors.
