In every little thing you make a difference. 1. Use Reusable luggage If you're attending to mall for searching like grocery, food, and garments you would like to apply the plastic luggage. Mistreatment reusable luggage helps the atmosphere. Plastic grocery-type luggage that get thrown out find yourself in landfills and it takes years to decompose. 2. Print as very little as Necessary Using such a lot paper is damaging to the atmosphere. If possible recycle the utilization writing paper for printing. If not, print on either side of the page to scale back the number of paper used. 3. Recycle Instead of throwing recyclables within the trash along with your non-recyclables, recycle the materials of fine use. create a degree to require an additional step to separate reclaimable materials like cans, bottles, plastic and papers. 4 4. Use a Reusable nutrient Containers In most school, fruit juices is served mistreatment plastic cups, rather than shopping for this cup of drinks on an individual basis, deliberate to use a reusable bottle. Not solely can this facilitate the atmosphere it saves your money for several of the campuses that provide water fountains designed for drinking still as for replacement reusable water bottles. 5. Don’t Throw Your Notes Away Keeping your notes can facilitate the scholars by having the ability to scan what they're learning within the words of another student. If you can’t notice anyone to convey the notes to, at the terribly least, recycle the paper you used. 6. Save Electricity! Use energy-efficient light-weight bulbs rather than regular bulbs. They last longer, which can save your money. Make you turn off lights, the TV, and other appliances when you are not using them. 5 7. Save Water Water is wasted a lot frequently than we can see. Shut down the faucet as you're brushing your teeth. Don’t turn your shower on till you’re able to get in and wash your hair. Limit your water usage as you wash dishes. 8. Avoid Taking Cars or Carpool as possible Cars square measure harmful to the atmosphere. Taking public transportation, walking, or riding a motorcycle are better options that help the environment and your budget, as well as getting some exercise. 6 EFFECTS OF CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION PATTERNS REPORTER: SUNDY JAY ESPERANZA VERNADELLE YAP 7 Climate change refers to the increase in average surface temperatures on Earth. An amazing scientific accord highlighted that global climate change is due primarily to the human use of fossil fuels, that releases dioxide and alternative greenhouse gases into the air. The gases trap heat inside the atmosphere, which may have a variety of effects on ecosystems. the results square measure the following; (a) rising ocean levels, (b) severe weather events, and (d) droughts that render landscapes additional vulnerable to wildfires. The food consumption and production have a major impact on the surroundings. The means we have a tendency to consume has each direct and indirect impacts on the surroundings. An example of this consumption is that the use of energy in our homes like television radio, computer, cars and public utility jeepney that emit harmful gasses and caused pollution and increased emissions of greenhouse gases that results in global climate change. Tuesday, February 2, 20XX Sample Footer Text 8 Consumption conjointly vie an indirect impact towards our surroundings from the assembly, process and transportation of the products that we have a tendency to consume daily. Examples of this production of goods we consume are the can goods, soft drinks, processed foods, shampoo and many more.. In association, with consumption and production pattern within the Philippines, the state of surroundings in our country along with the emissions of greenhouse gasses, indicators on pollution and also the generation of material discovered that each one indicators show environmental degradations all told the domains being assessed (Sta. Romana, 2017). 9 Effects of Climate change Reporter: Lovely Batino Cj Pauner 10 1. What was the picture all about? 2. In your own opinion, what is the relevance of these pictures to our environment? 3. How these consequences of human’s action that affect the lives of others and the environment? 11 There is broad-based agreement within the scientific community that climate change is real. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration correspond that climate change is indeed happening and is almost certainly due to human activity. The primary reason behind climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, such as oil and coal, which emits greenhouse gases into the atmosphere— primarily carbon dioxide. Other human activities, such as agriculture and deforestation, also contribute to the production of greenhouse gases that cause climate change. 12 Even small increases in Earth’s temperature caused by climate change can have severe effects. The rising sea levels due to the melting of the polar ice caps is caused by climate change. The warming ocean temperatures are associated with stronger and more frequent storms; additional rainfall, particularly during severe weather events, leads to flooding and other damage; an increase in the incidence and severity of wildfires threatens habitats, homes, and lives; and heat waves contribute to human deaths and other consequences. 13 STEPS TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS OF CLIMATE CHANGE Reporter Jovy Angel Butay Jay Abella Biñas 14 10 Possible Solutions for Climate Change Madaan (2018) suggested that there is a solution to each problem, and suggested possible solutions to climate change namely: 15 1. Stop Cutting down Trees: Believe it or not, cutting down trees is the prime reason of the climate change. Planting new trees can quickly scale back the speed of the emission of gases. 2. Control Population: Yes, if the population is controlled, then climate change can also be controlled. How? Putting in simpler words, more number of individuals suggests that additional demand of resources like food and shelter resulted in additional usage or utilization of the earth. 3. Less use of Fossil Fuels: The high discharges of the greenhouses gases are diminishing the ozone layer which gives global warming. It is then one of the major causes of climate change. 16 4. Unplug your Devices: In almost every house, there are at least a dozen of appliances which includes air conditioner, television, microwave, washing machine and others. These devices lead to global warming, hence the climate change. 5. Focus on Renewable Energy: Fossil fuels are going to be finished in an exceedingly few decades and it's time to maneuver towards the renewable energy. In several elements of the globe, several cities are using the energy from the renewable sources of energy which incorporates wind, solar, tidal, ocean and many more. 6. Control of Methane Leaks: Surprisingly, methane is a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Every month, there is a huge quantity of methane leak from pipeline, storage tanks, other infrastructure, garbage dumps and coal mines. 17 8. Experimenting the Earth: There are many experiments being done on Earth which might control climate change. Some ideas like, Geo-engineering, radical interventions to either block sunlight or reduce greenhouse gas are probably the last options to control the climate change. 9. Upgrade in infrastructure: Buildings require cement and it is produced by heating limestone giving rise to the carbon dioxide level. Upgrade in infrastructure like, making the roads perfect, improving cement-making processes and investing in new infrastructure or radically upgrading existing highways and transmission lines would cut emission of greenhouse gas and control climate change. 10.Personal Solutions to Global Warming: There are many steps which everyone can take in order to control the climate change. A small step by anyone can make a big difference. Drive less and cycle more while going to school or work. Upgrade your refrigerator and air conditioner, especially if they are more than five years old. 18 DEMOCRATIC INTERVENTIONS Reporter:Loren Claire Cabaca 19 Tuesday, February 2, 20XX Sample Footer Text 20
