The planet is already suffering from some impacts of global warming. Ice is melting worldwide, especially at the Earth's poles. Sea levels are rising and this is making our oceans too acidic. Think about the the Great Barrier Reef, the coral wasn't always so white. Severe changes in weather and increases of greenhouse gases will not only effect our daily life and health but also the agricultural industry Have a look at those statistics down below! The information above shows the importance of renewable energy. We as global citizens need to recognise climate change as a real problem that needs to be addressed immediately! Fossils fuels are non-renewable, becoming more sparse and more expensive. Humans need to reduce there dependency on fossil fuel gas and oil. Compare these materials to renewable energy such as solar power, the sun will never run out! Some other renewable energies: - Solar energy: solar hot water, solar electricity , passive solar heating and daylighting - Wind energy - Geothermal energy : geothermal electricity production , geothermal heat pumps - Bioenergy : biofuels , bio products - Hydropower - Ocean energy - Hydrogen and fuel cells - Green powers In Australia alone only 17.6% of our energy came from renewable energy in 2016. This is definitely not enough to make an impact to the irreversible damage of climate change. It is the role of local communities to raise awareness and spread education on these issues So...How can we as a community or school help promote climate change?
Help spread the word
