We often have unusual weather these days,
for example heat wave, drought, flood and so on. A mount of ice in the Arctic Circle is starting melt. The cause must be global
warming. It can be serious problem for the earth and animals. Extreme weather also
damages to agriculture, living environment. This is a huge issue, but I believe
we as individuals can do prevent clime change.
There are several things we can do, for
example, keep the temperature about 28°C when you use a air conditioner, use
public transportation instead of driving a car, turn off the TV, read books. It
looks small thing but most of us do this, it will have an effect.
Another thing we can do is to use renewable
energy, for example, wind power generation, small hydroelectric generation, and
solar power generation so on. Massive energy is necessary to our contemporary
life. For this reason, we need to think about how to use energy and what sort
of energy we should use. We need to try
to reduce exhaust gas, carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases are actually most
important thing.
Global warming, clime change, they are big
problems. It seems there is noting we can do, but actually doing small things
every individually in our life is most important I suppose.
