Stop Global Warming
Save nature to save the future
Our purpose is to spread awareness about Global Warming, to educate people the importance of it, and to encourage readers to do their part in helping save planet Earth.
Global warming is the increase of Earth's average surface temperature due to greenhouse gases(CO2) that collect in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun's heat and causing the planet to warm up.
The constant rise in temperature is causing very serious effects on the environment. Glaciers are shrinking atleast 1% of their mass every year, dangering the animals that live there. Global warming puts coral reefs in danger as the ocean warms. Since 1870, global sea levels have risen by about 8 inches. Heat waves caused by global warming present greater risk of heat-related illness and death.
Human factors play a key role in the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere. With the start of industries, humans began emitting more fossil fuels from coal, oil, and gas to run our cars, trucks, and factories. On an average Americans itself produce 25 percent of the carbon dioxide pollution from fossil-fuel burning.
Fast fashion emphasizes quick, cheap, and trendy clothes to bring inexpensive clothing items to consumers.
Each year, the clothing that is thrown away amounts to about 11 million tons in the US alone. The toxic chemicals, dangerous dyes, and synthetic fabrics used to make cheap clothing items can poison water supplies in emerging countries and harm workers.
Pollution has risen over the years through the addition of fossil fuels and toxic chemicals causing the air and water to become more toxic. The pollution in waters can not only lead to increased risks of cancer and other diseases for humans but for animals as well.
