Global warming is probably one of , if not the most important global problems to be solved. Extreme temperatures, unusal weird weather, and increased water levels are all effects of climate change. And without proactive measures, it’s And it’s only going to get worse, with e. If we don’t do anything, the winters will get colder , and the summers will get hotter.
For the sake of the future of humanity, we must act now.
Did you know that around Eight 8 million barrels of oil are consumed used every day daily? Although oil is useful for a variety of things: such as for things ranging from fuel for propelling vehicles, heating homes and buildings, and producing other forms of energy. However, oil production and consumptionis actually quite can be very detrimental to the environment. for multiple reasons. First, the Even the action of extracting oil from the earth releases fossil fuels into the atmosphere which increase global warming. Second, ! On top of that, oil leaks can be very harmful to sea life with 1 million gallons of water being contaminated for every 1 gallon of oil spilled.with . For every one gallon of oil spilled causing the contamination of, one1 million gallons of water can be contaminated. Similarly to oil, natural gas production and consumption is equally as bad also is used for many things, but is very bad for the environment, because the process of extracting the gas underground releases other substances and chemicals into the air and the burning of gas releases tonnes of C02 in the atmosphere every day .
Another big cause of climate change is waste. Each year, around 108 billion pounds of food is wasted in the United States. Decomposing food is a big contributor to fossil fuels, and can easily be prevented by finishing all your food and not throwing it out. If you don’t think you can finish a large burger, order a smaller one so that nothing gets wasted or thrown out. At the end of the day, food waste is equal to around 30-40% of the food supply!
So, how can we solve these big major problems of (oil, gas, and waste)?
Firstly, I think that at the rate we are going in terms of we need to continue to invest and advance advancements in technology to seek alternatives which , we could replace 60-75% of the oil and gas being used as for energy sources. For example , modern nuclear power . Nuclear power can produce safe and clean energy. through nuclear is generated through fission, which is when you split uranium atoms to produce energy. Progress has been made in running nuclear plants and in managing nuclear waste which enables nuclear energy to be a This makes it a zero-emission clean energy source. This option is pretty dangerous, In addition, but there are other other environmentally friendly options such as too, like solar energy and wind power has continued decrease in cost and improve in efficiency for reliable and sustainable energy production..
Secondly, I think that it would be game-changing if there was a way to using human waste as a source of energy (e.g. methane capture) or increased efforts to compost food waste and convert into rich soil for plants will help to reduce waste storage and minimize impacts to the environment.can minimize the convert wasted food into a protein shake powder or some kind of way that the waste could be reused and eaten.
In conclusion, I think we should try and convert ourselves into gas and oil alternatives and find a better way to reuse and save food. Climate change is a huge problem that we must address before it is too late.
