I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Climate change is any long-term significant change in the “average weather” that a given region experiences. Average weather may include average temperature, precipitation and wind patterns. It involves changes in the variability or average state of the atmosphere over durations ranging from decades to millions of years. These changes can be caused by dynamic process on Earth, external forces including variations in sunlight intensity, and more recently by human activities. Mostly caused by global warming, global warming is caused by the amout of carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere, trapping harmful sun ray in the atmosphere. This can cause an increase of sea level when the ice from the poles melt due to the increase of temperature.

We can help make a difference if everyone takes an effort to produce less carbon footprint in our lifes and one way of doing so is by reusing plastic bags instead of throwing them away and by reducing the amount of waste produced, this can help by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide produced.
