When it comes to climate change, we’re inching dangerously close to the point of no return. This is what the world’s climate scientists have been saying for more than a few years. If we don’t start decreasing the atmospheric temperature sooner than later, we may never be able to turn back. What does this mean?
Apart from natural disasters that have already resulted from warming temperatures, such as the California and Australian wildfires, Hurricane Dorian, and melting ice caps, it means that in the next few decades living on planet earth could become much more difficult and dangerous.
But since the problem is so vast, it’s easy to blow the problem off, burying your head in the sand and hoping it goes away on its own.
Yet we all know that one of the biggest ways we can turn back the clock is by doing our part, no matter how small.
With that in mind, we wanted to offer some helpful tips on what you can do in your daily lives to put a dent in the problem.
We hope to shed some light on the urgency of the problem through thoughtful deep dives that explore the systems and industry practices that exacerbate the problem, and by exploring the social and ecological impacts.
We know it’s tough to be moved to action unless you know what’s really at stake. But knowledge really is power. And, collectively, we still have the power to keep combatting the climate crisis.
