This phenomenon is due mainly to the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. So, what can you do to combat global warming? Here are five easy things you canĀ start doing today:
1. Recycle
Recycling helps save energy, reduces deforestation, and minimizes greenhouse gas emissions from landfills.
2. Cut food waste
According to the United Nations, people around the world throw away about one-third of produced food. This has a tremendous effect on the climate.
3. Use renewable energy
Renewable energy sources like solar and wind power neither create carbon dioxide nor other greenhouse gases that accelerate global warming.
4. Improve water management
Improving water management methods can decrease greenhouse gas emissions.
5. Use less energy
Conserving energy on homeĀ services such as heating and cooling is the easiest and most cost-effective way to reduce energy use and carbon emissions.
