The impact of Global Warming and how each individual can reduce their Carbon Footprint In this work, my pupils have been learning what greenhouse gases are and their origins with regard to human activity on the planet. The processes forming greenhouse gases, how these processes can be reduced ...
On this topic, there really isn’t bad news — anything you do togo off the gridand be more sustainable is helping toreduce the impactthat the human population has on the earth, and will save you a ton of money in the long run. ...
How to Save a Planet A quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture and land use – and a big portion of those emissions come from producing meat. Adopting a plant-based diet is one of the biggest steps an individual can take to reduce their own carbon footprint. So...

Forget all that. It is time, Obama preached, for America to apologize to the world. And so, he did. For eight years, he did what he could – and that was a lot – to reduce American power and prestige in the world. He thought a smaller, weaker, apologetic America would result in...
The IPCC insists that all countries must reduce their GHG emissions by 60% from 2010 levels by 2050 and that the wealthier “developed” countries must lead the way by reducing emissions by 80% by 2050. I then show how this would require most of us to stop using al...
logical target for climate action. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) recently calculated that cutting global methane emissions by 45 per cent by 2030 would reduce peak temperatures by 0.3ºC over the following decade. That’s a lot when you’re trying to limit warming to 1.5...
To illustrate this point, consider a typical non-voter's response to the slogan "Your Vote is Your Say"—a 1990s Elections Canada poster. In my research, a 39-year-old woman from southern Alberta had this to say about the ad: "Like they really care what I think." ...
Recycling, though valuable, is only slightly better than throwing something away: you still have to use energy and water to recycle things and you probably create toxic waste products as well. It's far better to reduce our need for plastics in the first place than to have to dispose of ...
China’s clean energy dominance has faced a backlash, which could grow as the energy transition gathers speed. The US and EU have repeatedly slapped tariffs on Chinese photovoltaic panels in trade disputes, while new rules in Europe could reduce imports of Chinese batteries. Recent revelations abou...
