How does it work?
1. Our activities produce carbon dioxide
2. Carbon dioxide levels are at a record high
3. Carbon dioxide traps heat, increasing Earth's temperature.
4. Earth's temperature will rise rapidly if we don't cut down on our carbon dioxide production
How can I do my part?
You
Make your voice heard.
The most power in fighting climate change lies in the hands of your government.
Vote, speak out or send letters to your local authorities. The more people do this the more they will prioritise climate change policies.
Reduce car usage
Use more public transport. Cut back on driving private cars, and invest in an electric car.
Reduce energy usage at home
Use energy efficient devices such as LED bulbs. Swap out gas devices such as stoves and boilers for electric versions. Ensure your home is properly insulated. Wear extra layers instead of turning up the heating. Switch to a green energy provider.
Eat less meat.
Reduce meat and dairy consumption. Eat more vegetables.
Spread the word.
Speak to your friends and family about climate change, what you've done and how they can help too.
