How to Help on Climate Change: A Guide for Youth

The climate is changing. It’s that simple. And it’s not just about the melting ice caps and rising sea levels, it’s also about the changes in weather patterns and extreme heatwaves. The world has a very limited time to adapt to these changes while still maintaining a sustainable global society – but how? This guide will help you find your own way to help with climate change!

What are the effects of climate change on our society?

The future is uncertain, but one thing that’s certain? Climate change. With each passing year comes an increase in extreme weather patterns and unpredictable seasons due to our planet heating up as greenhouse gases accumulate in its atmosphere-allowing for more frequent droughts or floods than ever before. This has major impacts on society: reduced crop yields; increased migration from developing nations%; risks associated with trade routes becoming cut off by rising seawaters.

The effects are global–we all feel them differently depending on where we live – be it via higher prices at grocery stores because of poor quality products coming out now & then

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon, but the effects of climate change on our society are negative. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere traps heat from escaping into space and this causes global warming which can lead to rising temperatures worldwide.

We need to rethink how we live life on Earth because it affects us all! What do you want your legacy to be? There are so many ways you can help, here are just some ideas:

  • Turn off lights when not in use;
  • Save water by taking shorter showers and turning off taps while brushing teeth; – Plant trees (there is no better gift than giving back);
  • Drive less or carpool with friends;
  • Talk about climate change at home and school. Google has many resources that can help you learn more.
  • Don’t litter!
  • Take public transport, if possible.
  • When cooking, use pots and pans with lids to help save energy or you can use an infrared grill to cook your food faster than a traditional cooker. That way, they’ll make less carbon emission. You could check online for eco-friendly grills like infrared and stranger grills. However, ensure you buy the ones made by the original manufacturer and not fall for the cheap fake products out there.

So what can WE do about it? There are lots of things that each individual can do, like the examples listed above, but there are also bigger things that need to be done as a society. Governments and businesses around the world need to start making changes too so that we can all start living more sustainably.

How does my lifestyle affect climate change?

This is a great question to ask as you think about your own energy use and emissions. You can learn more at the World Wildlife Fund or Climate Counts, where they have lots of good information on how human behavior affects our natural world.

It’s very important that we understand why it matters what we do with regards to climate change because if we don’t know then it will be hard for us to take action in order to help fix this problem. If you want some ideas on the different ways that you could participate in reducing greenhouse gas emissions around the globe, keep reading! There are many opportunities out there for people from all walks of life who care deeply about saving our planet from climate catastrophe. A few examples include:

  • Planting trees
  • Conserving water by taking shorter showers and turning off the tap while brushing your teeth
  • Recycling everything that you can to help reduce the amount of trash in landfills

These are just a few ways that anyone, anywhere can participate in helping with climate change. We all have different abilities when it comes to doing our part for future generations. Do what works best for you! You might not be able to go out and plant new trees but maybe you could organize a community recycling event at your school or church? Maybe there is someone who lives near you with lots of room on their property where they would let people come pick up some extra produce from their garden? Think about how else this person’s abilities could be used to help your community. You might not think that it’s possible but if we all work together and listen to each other, we can accomplish a lot!

Tips for living a more sustainable lifestyle

If you want to live more sustainably, there are some easy steps that will help. First of all, remember everything has an impact so use reusable grocery bags and bring your own coffee mug whenever possible! The next time a friend offers up his soda can from the fridge instead of yours just say thanks but no thanks- only buy items refined using renewable resources such as aluminum or paper when necessary (read labels). And finally, try not buying anything new unless it’s on sale because eventually even these things wear out – after a while, we end up saving money by cutting back our spending rather than going into debt for something temporary like a new pair of shoes.

To summarize it all,

The youth of the world has a responsibility to be leaders in climate change and sustainability. It is up to them to make sure that we all work together for the betterment of our planet. If you would like more information on how you can help, please contact your local governments or NGOs who are working with this issue. They will have resources available for you!
