Climate change is caused by extreme conditions when the earth gets too warm, ice starts to melt, and flooding happens. To reduce gas emissions being put into the atmosphere, we can start using clean energy sources such as solar and wind power. improving technology to save energy, and plant more trees to absorb these harmful gasses. Using better methods for transportation like using more electric than gas cars. The governments are able to enforce pollution regulations reducing the amount of gas that's released into our atmosphere. Individuals can contribute to this by conserving energy, resources, recycling, and making environmentally friendly choices. By adopting cleaner transportation like electric vehicles and public transit, the emissions from vehicles are greatly reduced. Sustainable practices like organic farming and reduced fertilizer use can lower greenhouse gas emissions. Government policies and regulations play a big role in controlling these emissions like the pollution standards mentioned earlier. By spreading awareness, it increases and improves the public's understanding of climate change and how harmful it's starting to become for the planet. Investing in research and development for clean energy technologies accelerates the transition to a low carbon economy. Also, encouraging innovation in carbon capture and storage technologies can further reduce emissions from industrial processes. Promoting sustainable land management preserves carbon sinks like forests and wetlands. Transitioning to a circular economy model minimizes waste and reduces emissions associated with production and consumption. Addressing deforestation and promoting reforestation efforts restore ecosystems and help maintain carbon dioxide levels. The governments can incentivize emission reductions through carbon pricing mechanisms and emissions programs. Public infrastructure investments in renewable energy support these goals. By implementing these measures we can very easily reduce these harmful gasses and use the proper resources to control climate change and save our planet.

Earth may never be the same if we humans keep living like this. Everything would be different due to climate change. But today I will share with you how to avoid it. First of all, what is climate change? Climate change is changing average weather, making it warmer, wetter, or drier for a short or long period. How can humans do differently to avoid the effects of climate change? In this paper, I will explore the concept of climate change, its primary causes, the impact of the greenhouse effect, and steps we can all take to lower its effects.

   
    The Greenhouse effect is a metaphor for what is happening to Earth now. A greenhouse is a house with glass on all sides and plants inside. We are allowing sunlight to get into it. When the Sun sets the heat will still be trapped inside keeping the plants warm throughout the night or during winter. Humans are also inside our little greenhouse when we emit too many greenhouse gasses, including Carbon Dioxide, Methane, and Water Vapor. Before humans had the right amount of greenhouse gasses, but due to human activities, we now experience more greenhouse gasses, making Earth hotter. These greenhouse gasses may come from burning fossil fuels and driving cars. This makes Earth hotter due to the amount of gasses we are making, and letting it be trapped in our atmosphere. We are inside the greenhouse trapped with all this heat. Completely eradicating climate change to 0 would be impossible. But we can still slowly decrease the number we have right now. I will tell you how we can slowly decrease climate change. First, we could save energy at home. If you're not in a room you can close the lights, or you would be wasting energy and money. Switching to renewable energy sources such as solar or wind can significantly reduce your carbon footprint. We can reduce, reuse, repair, and recycle. All these could slowly decrease or stop climate change.
We need to start thinking about the next generation. If we don't act now the next generation would need to clean up the mess that we made. So why not start doing it and then let humans suffer?
    Now we know how humans can act differently to avoid climate change. In short, we could change the world if we start doing this. In conclusion, we humans must act on climate change.

What happens if we loose the ability to plant as many trees? If we want to breathe fresh air outside while walking to get groceries, we need plants. We need to have more plants than the production of CO2 by cars, oil industries, etc. No matter how hard we try, CO2 will always be there to ruin our days. The Ozone layer got healed during Covid time since there was a lockdown and people didn’t use cars (no one could go outside) and the Earth healed by half. But, now it is disintegrating again since there was a boost in the economy since the last 4 years and we need to produce CO2 for that. Too much CO2 for plants to use and to make oxygen can kill the plants, and the population is growing due to large economic growth. And we need to cut down trees for food, homework assignments, furniture, paper to wipe your butt and to blow your nose, etc. If we cut down too many tress, the whole world will fall apart and human civilization can die out.

Onshore wind turbines are the obvious choice for clean energy generation, as they outperform offshore wind turbines in many different ways. Onshore wind turbines have three main advantages that set them apart from their competitor, offshore wind turbines.
Firstly, onshore wind turbines offer substantial cost advantages over offshore turbines. Onshore turbines are nearly four thousand dollars per kilowatt-hour cheaper, therefore they provide quality wind power at a mere fraction of the cost. This affordability makes clean, easy to harvest energy accessible for anyone. According to the American Wind Energy Association,small onshore wind turbines cost between $3,000 to $5,000 for every kilowatt of power. This makes them considerably better than offshore wind turbines.
Secondly, the ease of installation and maintenance is a huge defining feature of the onshore wind turbines. Due to their convenient locations on land, they are a lot more accessible. This leads to reduced downtime and fewer repairs. This then translates into less disruption for all th
Lastly, onshore wind turbines demonstrate a clear environmental advantage over offshore alternatives. By harnessing wind power on land, these turbines minimize the ecological impact associated with offshore installations. Their operation produces clean, natural energy, contributing to a healthier environment and sustainable future.
In conclusion, the evidence supports the assertion that onshore wind turbines surpass offshore options in terms of cost-effectiveness, ease of maintenance, and environmental benefits. As a result, prioritizing the development and utilization of onshore wind energy stands as a prudent choice for advancing clean energy initiatives and mitigating environmental concerns.

I agree, onshore wind turbines are very helpful to reducing carbon emission. They produce a lot of energy without using fossil fuels. The resources used to get the running is completely natural and only ends up in net energy that is environment friendly. Wind turbines are great ways to make energy for communities and help the environment by giving a way to make energy from the natural wind.

Implementing high speed rails can reduce an incredible amount of GHG emissions. High speed rails are basically emission free, and are cheap for the consumer (Unlike gas). High speed rails will also take many cars off the road, which in turn will reduce the amount of car crash deaths in the U.S. High speed rails are also 180 mph. The U.S. already has a train that is capable of being a High speed rail, so we know it is feasible. High speed rail is also in other countries. When it becomes more widespread in the U.S. it could greatly reduce flights and cars on the road. High speed rails are something we need in our lives.

The phrase “global warming” is often used synonymously with “climate change,” however, it is important to note that, while the two terms are closely related, global warming is just one aspect of climate change.

We can help stop climate change by powering our homes with renewable energy that are certified by certain organizations such as the Green-e-Energy organization. Another action that can help stop climate change is reducing your water waste as it reduces carbon pollution and you can reduce it by taking shorter showers and turning off the water while brushing  your teeth. Th last and final action you can do to help stop climate change is only buying food you know you are going to eat as composting the food you aren’t going to eat can send a lot of methane into the atmosphere.

I agree with your points; they are essential to help end climate change. I do think the more important things are mining fossil fuels and factories these have high footprints but as people, there is little we can do about this besides support companies with little to no impression. Individually I agree but I think what humans in our area emit the most is travel. Helping lower this can really help lower your footprint we can do this by carpooling or using public transportation whenever possible along with driving instead of using a plane. Planes emit so much carbon and not taking them could really improve your footprint. I agree with everything you said but I think transportation is really important, especially in America.

We can help climate change by actually putting in effort to make a change. Instead of just preaching that climate change is bad, use that energy to influence other individuals. Even starting with small things could influence others to follow along.

I agree with your points; I think there are more things also to account here, first f all I think that if we reduce the amount of transportation via fossil fuel ran vehicles, we can solve a big problem; I think we can solve this by carpooling or having EV Vehicles, etc.

I think it would be a great help if people converted to electrical cars, although that's kinda hard since they're very expensive.

I agree! Sure, how you change your lifestyle doesn't matter in the picture by itself, but if everyone changes their lifestyle, no matter how small the changes are, it can really make a difference.I also agree with the fact that transportation is a big contributor to carbon emissions and that we as a society should improve on how we go about getting from A to B.

Climate change resources are great for reducing carbon emissions. Climate change resources are great for reducing carbon emission because they renews the heat and energy that usually gets trap from the sun but, it gets but to good use like cars, air conditioning, solar panels and plenty more. Another climate resource that is great for reducing carbon emission are wind turbines. Wind turbines are good because they create wind without using any carbon emissions.

Climate change is the significant variation of average weather conditions becoming, for example, warmer, wetter, or drier—over several decades or longer. As greenhouse gas emissions blanket the Earth, they trap the sun's heat. This leads to global warming and climate change. Global warming can result in many serious alterations to the environment, eventually impacting human health.Human Activity Is the Cause of Increased Greenhouse Gas Concentrations.

You may not know how the human population is greatly affecting the amount of greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere. We emit these gasses by doing everyday activities such as driving, flying on an airplane, heating our homes, and much more. Once these gases are being released into the atmosphere, it bounces back and returns to Earth, creating more warmth in the world. As humans, we need to do everything we can to help the Earth and every beautiful species on it so it can continue to thrive and go on.

Carbon footprint is a measure of the total greenhouse gas emissions produced by human activities, such as transportation, energy use, and food production. As the world continues to develop and consume more resources, our carbon footprint has grown to unsustainable levels. The impact of climate change is being felt globally, from rising sea levels to extreme weather events, and reducing our carbon footprint is a critical step towards mitigating these effects. Here are some ways we can reduce our carbon footprint:

1.Drive less and walk, bike, or use public transportation more.
2.Reduce energy use at home by turning off lights and unplugging electronics when not in use.
3.Eat less meat and dairy, as these industries have high carbon footprints.
4.Support renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power.
5.Use reusable bags, containers, and water bottles instead of disposable ones.
6.Choose products made from sustainable materials.
7.Plant trees and support reforestation efforts.
8.Buy locally sourced products to reduce transportation emissions.
9.Support policies that promote clean energy and sustainability.
10.Reduce food waste by planning meals and composting.

Reducing our carbon footprint is essential for the health of the planet and the future of humanity. Let's all do our part to create a more sustainable world.

Nice examples! We all should follow them!

I agree with all of your examples and think that reducing our carbon footprint is undeniably crucial in addressing the pressing challenges posed by climate change. Our growing carbon footprint, largely a result of increased resource consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, has led to widespread and detrimental consequences, from severe weather events to disruptions in ecosystems. Implementing the suggested measures to lower our carbon emissions is not only a collective responsibility but also an opportunity for positive change. By embracing sustainable transportation options, efficient energy practices, dietary choices that reduce the carbon-intensive meat and dairy industries, and supporting renewable energy sources, we can collectively work towards a more environmentally responsible future. Additionally, initiatives like reforestation and local sourcing can play a vital role in curbing emissions, and our individual efforts can be amplified by advocating for policies that promote clean energy and sustainability. As we reduce our carbon footprint through these multifaceted approaches, we contribute to the well-being of our planet and ensure a more sustainable world for future generations.

I like all of these methods you have presented. I definitely try to do most of these things at home and I want to do more and I plan to. Something that I have been thinking about doing is convincing my parents to implement solar energy into our home, although it is expensive it can go a long way in reducing our carbon footprint.

The list you provided is a great introduction to the topic of reducing our carbon footprint. It accurately defines carbon footprint and explains its importance, and it provides a list of specific actions that we can take to reduce our impact on the environment. However, I would like to add other options that can spread to others. These options are: Educating ourselves and others on this subject, Advocating for change and policies that can enforce sustainability, and supporting projects/businesses who are working towards these goals.

I agree with most of these steps although for numbers 1, 3, and 6 I am kind of in the middle of disagree and agreeing. For number 1 what if they live in a dangerous neighborhood, especially if it’s dark out and for example your walking home from work. And number 3 what if the person has a weak bone structure and they need milk, and eating less meat won’t affect their industry at all because meat gives us protein which can give us muscle. Lastly for number 6 what if the sustainable products are more expensive than your average product. Especially since if most of the population is less wealthy it might not be a better option to buy the sustainable products.

Most people when thinking  of a wealthy or rich person they are thinking of a celebrity, and we almost never think of ourselves as having more than enough but that simply isn't the case. We take for granted many little things that we do, consume, waste, buy, use, daily, like myself i take unnecessarily long showers, i take them without any consideration of how much water i am wasting or don't need to be using. I think as a whole we all have something that is very harmful towards the environment, that you might be doing daily.If there is any way that you can lessen your carbon footprint, please do so.

Do economic crises/world hunger have anything to do with climate change or vise versa? Do carbon emissions have trends of finding their ways to countries of specific development? Does a countries technological Advancements help or hinder its contributions to climate change & global warming?

Here is some more ways you can reduce your carbon footprint. Plus you can save money if you do it the right way.

In the U.S, each household produces 48 tons of greenhouse gases each year. The three biggest contributors to this are transport, housing, and food. Food is about 17% of that total, and it is the easiest thing to cut down on. Worldwide, it is estimated that livestock agriculture produces around 50% of man-made emissions. Changing the foods you eat can greatly impact your carbon emissions, and these are the best foods to do so:
- Lentils (0.9 CO2 kilos per kilo)
- Fruit (1.1 CO2 kilos per kilo)
- Vegetables (2.0 CO2 kilos per kilo)

One of the worst foods to reduce carbon emissions is beef. One kilogram of beef is equivalent to driving 63 miles. Even worse is a kilo of lamb, which is the equivalent to driving 93 miles. Overall, becoming vegetarian reduces food emissions by half, which will improve the environment tremendously, as well as make animals happy.
https://www.greeneatz.com/foods-carbon- … 's%20diet.

I agree with this, a lot of the reason why peoples carbon footprints are so high is because they eat a lot of meat. The average person eats 17 ounces of meat per week. Also by choosing a vegetarian diet instead of one loaded with animal products, individuals can dramatically reduce the amount of land, water, and oil resources that they consume and the amount of pollution they otherwise might cause. When you eat more greens, it with end up being healthier for you  and overall just make planet earth better.

My parents both have electric/ semi electric cars. We made the switch about a year ago to help the environment and save gas money. My mom has an suv that is a hybrid, and gets about 40 miles on pure electric. This is the perfect amount to get her to work and back, and pick me up from lacrosse practice. We use this car for when we go a far distance, because we will need gas at some point. My dads car is a lot smaller and fully electric. He doesn’t travel much because he works from home, so it’s perfect for him. It’s cheaper and is much better for the environment

A way that we can stop climate change is using renewable energy so we can stop using fossil fuels that we hurting our planet. But not many people are doing that right now so the effects of it isnt showing yet.

i am agree with you

yes I'm agree with you everyone should do this

Climate change is a serious problem that is becoming more and more severe. Climate change is occurring because of human activities such as burning fossil fuels, manufacturing, and emitting excessive amounts of gas. Some ways to reduce the amount of climate change occurring is by saving energy at home, walking, biking, taking public transportation, and eating more vegetables.

Fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas are the main climate change sources
