This article that I read about educated me on ways I can prevent the effects of climate change to take place. I have taken note of some ways I can help save our planet and I hope people out there will also do the same.

Some ways that I learnt was that to reuse, reduce and recycle. This is one of the simplest way to help as the cutting down of trees can increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the environment and that would lead to climate change as carbon dioxide traps the heat in the atmosphere.

Another way is to use energy saving bulbs. This would reduce the amount needed and can cut down on the amount of burning of fossil fuels which contribute to the climate change.

Finally, we can take part in the annually conducted global movement call Earth Hour. This requires us to switch off the lights for an hour which can save a lot of out earth’s resources and reduce the effects of climate change.

Thus, if we all cooperate, we can change the world for the better. After all, the earth is our home and its our duty to save it.
