How It Works

What is global warming and how can we stop it?

- Isabel Daniells

By using and wasting less water, food – especially meat – and electricit­y and limiting our transport use, we minimise our personal carbon footprint and help to reduce global warming. Global warming describes Earth’s rise in temperatur­e due to the increasing volume of greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere. To reduce gas emissions, we can adapt our way of living. Renewable energy can power our homes using natural elements like solar power rather than the burning of fossil fuels.
