Food and Hunger
Agriculture and farming are greatly affected by climate change and our carbon footprint. When we burn things, use gas-powered cars, and travel by planes, we are increasing our climate footprint because we are releasing carbon dioxide into the air. Farming is affected by this because of the temperature increase which is not beneficial to the farming and agriculture, affecting us because we have less food to buy and eat.
