The Earth's temperature is beginning to
rise at an alarming rate. The cause? Humans. The problems with this issue are
that ecosystems can't adapt anymore. Without ecosystems adapting, the whole
world is thrown off. Plants don't grow as expected, animals don't get nourished
as needed and humans don't have the essentials to survive. It's all one big
chain effect. Some solutions to this are decreasing dependence on fossil fuels,
build more energy- efficient buildings, be more efficient, and possibly move
closer to work so you don't admit as much fuel. Barriers to these solutions are
that not everyone will be on board for changing their way of life. Also, more
energy- efficient buildings will probably end up being more expensive. Because
not everyone likes living in cities, some people may not move closer to work
because of the environment difference from country to city. In my opinion, we
don;t have to drastically change our ways, just slowly start being more
conscientious of what we do on a daily basis that effects our world.
