what cause climate
change?
Polluting the environment Deforestation
Global warming
Using too much electricity
Mining and drilling
Effects to the Biodiversity
-Increase in Global Temperature: Rising average temperatures on Earth.
-Coral reefs dying
-Ice Melting: Rising sea levels.
-Flood Risks in Coastal Areas
-Habitat Changes: Many species are at risk
-Transitioning to renewable energy
(wind, solar, etc.)
-Reforestation and Forest Restoration
-Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
-Use public vehicle
-Turn off the electronic equipments not in use
