and others are the entities with the highest carbon emissions. It is because we rely on them to provide the products and food that we enjoy at home. If we reduce our reliance on these big industries, they won&#8217;t have to produce more.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So a good way to solve the problem may be from our government and legislative level to regulate these big companies. We can get our leaders to make laws that discourage activities that have a high\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">carbon footprint.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><i><b>Did you know:<\/b><\/i><br \/><\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Energy production and consumption contribute to emissions. Improving energy efficiency will reduce global emissions. In modern times, new energy-efficient buildings use 60\u201390% less energy than conventional buildings of a similar type and configuration.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But many of our leaders have been a bit disappointing. So it is our turn to do our bit!<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Start by reducing your carbon footprint. Your carbon footprint is the sum of all emissions of CO2 (carbon dioxide), which were produced by your activities in a given time frame.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Let&#8217;s start with vehicles. Vehicles produce greenhouse gases.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><b>Go by bus!<br \/><\/b><\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Get your family to go to school, work, market, holiday, place of worship on a bus rather than in a parent&#8217;s car. It is cheaper too.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><b>Walk! Don\u2019t drive.<br \/><\/b><\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Walk to the shop, market, farm, school, and everywhere you can walk. Sometimes there are too many cars causing heavy traffic, and it is better to walk. It is also a great exercise.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><b>Ride! Don\u2019t drive.<br \/><\/b><\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">You can always ride down to almost everywhere.

Trees absorb CO2, (a greenhouse gas) from the air. This means the air will be fresher and also help regulate climate. You can also save old trees by protecting them from being cut down. One great way to have fun with trees is to plant one on every special day like your birthday, Christmas, National holidays, or even in memory of special friends.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><b>Recycle, reduce, and re-use items.<br \/><\/b><\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Recycling, reducing the use of things, and re-using things is also a brilliant attitude for us to acquire. When we recycle cans, bottles, plastic, and paper, we send less trash to a landfill. It also helps save natural resources such as trees, oil, and aluminum.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2094\" src=\"https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/recycle-to-help-with-climate-change.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/recycle-to-help-with-climate-change.jpg 600w, https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/recycle-to-help-with-climate-change-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>When you go shopping, always look for the recycling mark on products before buying them. The mark means they have been produced from recycled materials, and you want to encourage them to do so.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If your community does not have recycling services with waste collection, this is the time to join a group to talk about it.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><i>Tip&#8230;<\/i><\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><i>The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for the assessment of climate change.
