REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

     GLOBAL WARMING IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE FOR OUR PLANET.  DUE TO OCEAN TEMPERATURES RISING, WE WILL EXPERIENCE MORE FREQUENT & MUCH STRONGER HURRICANES, ALONG WITH TORNADOES IN AREAS WHERE THESE STORMS ARE NOT A COMMON EVENT. 

•      OTHER AREAS WILL SUFFER DROUGHTS AND HEAT WAVES.  SEA LEVELS WILL RISE DUE TO MELTING ICE CAPS.  MANY SPECIES OF ANIMALS WILL BECOME EXTINCT.  DRY LAND WILL BE RAVAGED BY MORE WILDFIRES.  SMOG IS ANOTHER CONCERN AS IT WILL EXACERBATE RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS.  VOLCANIC ACTIVITY CAN INCREASE, ALONG WITH TSUNAMIS.  MORE DANGEROUS THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR ALONG WITH OUTBREAKS OF DEADLY DISEASES.

 
     GLOBAL WARMING REDUCES PHYTOPLANKTON.  THESE PLANTS ARE AN INTEGRAL SOURCE OF FOOD FOR OCEAN LIFE.  DIMINISHED FOOD AND WATER SUPPLIES FOR HUMANS WILL ALSO OCCUR.
     TO REDUCE OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT IT IS IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THE THREE Rs:
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE.  ALSO, UNPLUG APPLIANCES NOT USED ON A FREQUENT BASIS.  ENERGY PROOF YOUR HOME.  BUY WATER FILTRATION SYSTEMS & DO AWAY WITH BOTTLED WATER.  BUY ORGANIC, NATURAL, CRUELTY-FREE AND SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS.
