There is nothing that we as individuals can do to prevent climate change.

Global warming is a serious problem, which is increasing global temperatures year after year. In addition, I have noticed that in my country, the weather has become extreme with heatwaves in summer, whereas it is chilly in winter.

I will not agree with the statement of the essay. As individuals, we can do a lot of thing to prevent some climate changes. From big decisions such as not to take holidays requiring air travel, that have a significant impact of reducing emissions, right down to changing the lights in your home to energy-saving lights bulbs.  They use 60% less energy than a regular bulb. This simple switch will save about 300 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

 

Secondly, we can also make a correct use of water having showers instead of bath.  A shower takes up to four times less energy than a bath. To maximize the energy saving, avoid power showers and use low-flow showerheads, which are cheap and provide the same comfort.

Moreover, if the distance to a place is not too much long, we can walk or ride a bicycle, otherwise we can take the bus, so as not to use the car and avoid emitting harmful gasses to the atmosphere.

Finally, we can also use reusable shopping bags instead of plastic bags. These things not only help us save money but we also help protecting environment.

 

In fact, now is the time to act! We have a short period of a few years to make a real difference in cutting our CO2 emissions. That is why we should use an alternative energy instead of resources such as gas, oil, coal etc. International exhibition EXPO-2017 will take place in our country on this occasion.

In conclusion, we can take part in climate changes. Maybe we cannot avoid climate change but we can do something to reduce the intensity of their impact.
