Climate change, the reality and the cause of it has long been debated but it is clear that it is both real and human caused. The levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have never been higher and the fluctuations don't match the timing of this significant increase in CO2. Us humans emit carbon every day. Things we think of as common may be wasteful or heavy in emission of CO2. It's clear to see the melting and receding glaciers, the rising and acidification of the ocean and the loss of habitats, ecosystems and wildlife are not natural in cause. Us humans are ruining the planet and we need to stop it before its too late for us and future generations.

It's definitely caused by humans, no question. And you're right, everything we do contributes to climate change. But on a much smaller scale, however, humans physically pollute their world around them in a variety of ways. I participated in a beach cleanup last weekend and 100% of the things we picked up were all sourced from human lifestyles. Cigarette butts, paper cups, bottle caps, personal hygiene appliances etc. In other words, the world around us is overwhelmed by all sorts of pollution, thanks to us. It's jarring to imagine how one person can make a difference, so what are some other ways I can personally assist my environment?
