Is the climate crisis truly serious? What actions can we take?

Each individual can already start at home by not using more water and energy than necesarry, plus taking care of a ‘healthy’ flowerful garden with a variety of trees.

It is also important for everyone at home and at work to ensure that they do not use polluting products and systems (so get rid of all those polluting coffee capsules) and to use as little plastic packaging as possible. When buying fruit and vegetables, cotton bags are a good alternative to paper and plastic bags.

We all should engage and stimulate others to consume less and to have less waste, which should be sorted and ecologically processed.

We must change our buying and eating habits and adopt better living habits.

What is climate change and isn’t it a natural process?

The ‘climate crisis’ refers to global climate change that is happening too rapidly for the world to adapt. Climate Change means rising average temperatures which cause extreme weather events, shifting wildlife populations and habitats, rising sea levels, and a range of other impacts. All these changes are emerging as humans continue to add heat-trapping greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

It is true that the Earth’s climate goes through natural temperature cycles over long periods of time due to naturally occurring greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as water vapour, methane and carbon dioxide. These are organically added into the atmosphere through the processes of decomposition, respiration, natural forest fires and ocean release. There have been around 7 glacial advances and retreat cycles in the last 650,000 years i.e. rise and fall in global average temperatures.

But it is important to note that…
