Global warming

Global warming is a very fast increase in Earth's average temperature. It increased dramatically over the past century. It is mainly caused by the emission of CO2 and other gasses into the atmosphere.  Next, this air pollution absorbs sunlight and rise temperature. It has a huge effect on us and animals living on our planet. It increases temperature and by that, it changes the climate. It also changes the weather on Earth. There are a lot of animals that threaten global warming. Higher temperature destroys their natural homes and in result kills them. A few examples of these animals are polar bears, green sea turtles, tigers, or snow leopard. We have to stop this from happening. To do this we can use energy that is not obtained from coal and switch to renewable ones. We can also start planting trees. It is the best way because plants absorb CO2. Another good thing to do is to decrease our water waste and energy waste. If we will try to prevent global warming we will help ourselves ...

Air pollution

 A mix of very small solids and gasses which when get specifired concentrations can do harms. Every year humans produce a lot of it. For example only last year United States produced 70 milion tons of pollution that we emised into our atmosphere. Air pollution can cause damage to our environment. It can increase temperature and in result global warming. But it also is a cause of almost 5 milion deaths per year. One of the most known air pollution sources are power generations, vehicles, and waste incineration. But it can also come from burning fuels and coal. So what can and what should we do to stop increasing and decrease air pollution on Earth? We defenetli should start using public transpor or our bike as much as we can. It will decrease an amount of cars on a road and thus production of air pollution. If we think about purhaseing a car we should buy an electric or the one with  great fuel effeciency. We also should not burn trash of any kind. I think that we have to ...

Energy

 We use energy every day. It gives us light in our lamps, water in our taps, and heat in radiators. Last year we used 158,839 TWh (which is 158839000000 kWh). A lot of this energy was unnecessarily worn out. Unfortunately, only about 5% of it was energy from renewable sources such as wind energy and solar energy. When we waste power we pollute our environment with toxic fumes from all kinds of power plants. All contamination partly lead to climate change and air pollution.  To minimalize that we should do things as easy as turning off the lights when we left the room or turning the water off while brushing our teeth. We can also close our doors to prevent heat from escaping. Another good way is changing old lightning bulbs to LEDs ones. We can also save energy by taking cooler showers. We should do as much as we can to reduce the amount of energy that we use every day and contribute to saving the planet. https://ourworldindata.org/energy https://www.saveonenergy.com/learning-c...

Eco-friendly products

 We produce about 3.5 million tons of solid trash a day. Taking into account the number of people on our planet this is around 4.48 kilos per person. Fortunately, some products were created to reduce the amount of waste that we can use every day. The one that we can use commonly is shampoo or conditioner in a bar. It is a great way to reduce the amount of plastic that we throw away but also to save space. Another thing that we can change is our toothbrush. Instead of using a plastic one we can use a bamboo one. It is great because bamboo is a kind of grass so it is biodegradable. We can also use natural cleaning products, which will not pollute our environment. To help our planet we can also start using metal straws. We can use them multiple times and they are really easy to clean (usually they came with a special tool). The product that we can use in the kitchen is beeswax wrap in which we can wrap leftovers from our meals. We can also use eco things outside our homes. For example...

Fast fashion

     Clothes designs that appear at fashion shows and then are quickly copied by chain stores are called fast fashion. Nowadays it is a big problem and we should solve it as fast as we can. Fast fashion is bad for our environment because often these clothes are not all sold so they are ending up on a garbage dump. Also, because of the price, used materials are not of good quality so either way, we throw them away. It is bad too because to produce a piece of clothing we need a lot of water. Unfortunately, many popular brands use low-paid workers. In turn, this is morally wrong. So what should we do to stop fast fashion? The easiest way is to try to limit shopping in chain stores or to stop it completely. While shopping we should buy things that we will wear more than one season and we should pay attention to their quality. We should ask ourselves if we are going to wear this specific piece of clothing more than 30 times and buy it when the answer is yes. Another good move ...
