Human activities have caused climate change to rise at an extraordinary rate which has raised the temperature on our planet, causing droughts and heat waves that have affected many species habitats and our own country. Studies have shown that earth's temperature is constantly rising per decade, this will continue to rise and will affect the way the people on earth live. Global climate change had been predicted in the past, now we have a result of occurring climate change such as rise of sea level, decline of ice, and intense heat waves are other factors that play a part in our life. We have yet to find a solution to our own problem and will continue the effects of human-caused global warming will worsen in the decades to come which will eventually make the earth uninhabitable.
Can humans slow climate change down? Although humans can’t stop climate change we can slow the rate of global warming in many ways. People around the world should be aware of the problems in our environment and how it is affecting our planet. People should know the dangers they cause by doing everyday things such as riding cars, excessive use/discarding of plastic, and the massive amount of paper. These certain thing we use in our everyday life cause harm to our world every second and it hurts wildlife and human life. There are many programs and communities around the world that clean up plastic from oceans and many other places which helps the environment. There are many companies that have made reusable plastic products, reusing plastic would have an environmental impact making it better than throwing away plastic causing pollution.
If people would use these ideas that scientists have come up with it would help not just ourselves but the earth itself. Saving millions of wildlife in the process would help endangered animals that have been troubled with the human way of living. While also slowing down climate change making our earth live longer. Humans participating in these helpful factors would create many new opportunities for our environment.
I was inspired to write this short essay because I find an interest in our planet and the dangers we make earth go through. I feel like Raising awareness can show how it affects your own daily lives and the things you care about. My writing process was making sure I had a good source of information and writing it in my own words. I organized my writing to fit the information I had collected and connected it with my ideas. Then I made sure my piece had good capitalization, punctuation, and was well organized.
