Our Earth's issues

Global Warming

At the moment Global Warming is a major problem that affects everyone around the world, and sadly the poorest people are the worst affected. Now, you might say “Global Warming is untrue because global temperatures have been changing for years”, but I want to stress that we as humans are changing temperatures through emitting huge amounts of CO2, and the scary thing is that there is a tipping point. This tipping point is the result of the work of scientists who have predicted that the point at which Climate Change will be irreversible is 450 ppm (parts per million) in the atmosphere. In 2011 we are already at 400 ppm and it is rising fast, so something needs to be done if we don’t want to be gripped by Global Warming.
There are many ways in which we can make our lives more ethical:

• eating less meat
• recycle
• ditch the car and ride a bike
• only eat local food
• save on paper
• buy fair-trade

and many more
