There was a short session held on ClimateChange recently. Thankful for it but this picture below reveals the bitter truth of how ignorant we have grown towards serious threats like climate change. A burning issue & need of the hour but look at the participation level, only a handful of people!!! It is truly disheartening. I am sure, if this would have been a celebrity event, the entire place would have been flooded with people, seeking selfies. Such sessions should be mandatory in my opinion.
What is happening cos of it?
1. Seasonal imbalance giving rise to extreme events like flash rains, severe storms
2. Extreme weather viz Summer burns, Winter freezes and Monsoon floods or it doesn't rain at all resulting in severe droughts.
Why it's happening?
To sum it up, it's happening because of Excess usage of energy in all its forms which in exchange releases gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
In that, Excess is Wastage i.e we use energy even when it's not required. The energy here refers to electricity, fuel & other by-products. Few E.g.

✓ We use the lift even for climbing 1 floor,
✓ We don't walk, we use vehicles for even small distances.
✓ Even in the bright daylight, most of the corporate office floors are illuminated with lights.
There are many instances like these.
Exceptions are always there but when I say waste, it's implied that it's not required.
How to deal with it?
✓ Put a check on your consumption and our future generations will live longer and won't curse us for leaving the planet in the mayhem.
✓ Turn that switch off if you're done using the fan, lights, chargers, etc. Yes, a Mobile charger is a huge contributor to energy waste. We keep the charger plugged in and on almost 15hrs a day, every day. Remember, consumption bills are not the only price we pay for it, a lot is happening in the background which either we don't care or don't believe

✓ Turn to renewable sources of energy, adapt Solar, its cheaper and environment-friendly.
✓ Plant & Nurture more & more trees.
There is a lot that can be done on the community level but at an individual level, these minuscule changes in our behavior will help to curb carbon emissions into the atmosphere significantly. It's at an all-time high and increasing at a tremendous rate, be vigilant and do fight it.
