Climate change is one of the main problems facing our generation right now. Rising sea levels, increasing temperatures, and extreme weather patterns are threatening our ecosystems and homes. However, us humans are the main cause of this problem. What can we do to change this before it’s too late?

Discover:

Canada has done many things to tackle the problems that climate change brings us, such as launching the Clean Air Act in 2006, which focused on removing emissions from cars and trucks by finding new, fuel efficient ways of transportation. This helped to remove greenhouse gases from the environment, and it was successful in reducing our carbon footprint as well. Now, in 2020,  Canada has goals to reduce our gas and methane emissions, investing money into creating new, efficient ways of transportation, and using renewable energy sources as much as possible.

Dream:

Some ways for us to take action against climate change:

1. Use different modes of transportation that don’t emit gases (bicycles, scooters, etc.)
2. Stop using single use plastics
3. Reduce the amount of meat and dairy that you consume, and opt for vegetarian meals instead
4. Educate others on the importance of reducing their carbon footprints
5. Reduce your water waste
6. Help plant more trees
7. Use renewable energy sources as much as possible

Debrief:

I was able to learn new concepts about climate change and see what people are doing around the world to reduce their carbon footprints. I could improve this post by adding more detail to my Deliver, and more information on how you can reduce your water usage. The things I did well on this post were that I was able to add a lot of detail on the Discover part, by showing you what specific steps Canada was taking to prevent climate change.
