Cause and Effect |
Measures-Steps to be taken |
Fossil Fuel |
The number one goal? Limiting the use of fossil
fuels such as oil, carbon and natural gas and replacing them with renewable and cleaner sources of
energy, all while increasing energy efficiency. “We need to
cut CO2 emissions almost in half (45%) by the end of the next decade |
The latest report from the International
Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) found that several of the most commonly used
renewables, like solar, geothermal, bioenergy, hydropower and onshore wind, will be on par with or cheaper than
fossil fuels by 2020. Some are already more cost-effective. |
Fridges |
Air condition and refrigerators emits HFC. |
Scientist across the globe found that getting rid of HFCs(Hydro Fluoro Carbons)
(chemicals used in fridges and air conditioning) was the
number-one most effective policy to reduce emissions. |
Automobiles |
Emissions of C02 by Cars are adding up to climate change
globally |
We should choose more efficient vehicles and,
whenever possible, switch directly to electric vehicles Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD). |
Food /Meat Industry |
The meat industry contributes to global
warming in three major ways. Firstly, cows’ burping from processing food
releases lots of methane, a greenhouse gas. Secondly, we feed them with other
potential sources of food, like maize and soy, which makes for a very
inefficient process. And finally, they also require lots of water,
fertilisers that can release greenhouse gases, and plenty of land – some of
which come from cleared forests, another source of carbon emissions. |
By reducing your consumption of animal
protein by half, you can cut your diet's carbon footprint by more than 40% |
Farming , Mining and Deforestation : |
There's three times more carbon in the soil
than in the atmosphere – but that carbon's being released by deforestation
and poor farming. Cutting of trees due to deforestation taking
place for developing urbanisation, Industries fuelling the climate change to
large scale. Bush fires in Amazon and in some part of North America had
resulted in negative impact to climate and environment. |
|
Waste Management |
Waste management such using plastics and non-degradable
material such plastics releasing to huge land fields and oceans are causing
major damage to species inhabitant on the earth. Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC). |
Alternative to use of recycle material. |
