Think share
Do you share the author’s concerns about extreme weather conditions Why
Due to climate change, terrible natural disasters occur across the world from time to time. Natural disasters, including typhoons, hurricanes, earthquakes, landslides, heat waves and forest fires,etc. have brought different degrees of damage to the production and life of human beings. Their negative or destructive effects are one of the most severe challenges mankind faces at present and in the future.
Think share
2. How will you adapt to climate change which may affect your life in the future
As far as I'm concerned, humans are to blame for the frequent occurrence of extreme weather. Adaption to climate change depends upon effective environmental protection from now.
I can start with little things just like refusing the use of disposable chopsticks, saving water and turning off the lights before going outside and so on. In addition to this, I will call on people around me to be involved in planting trees or other reduction projects to build a greener earth.
As for us, what can we do in our life
use less paper
use fewer plastic bottles and bags
cut down on electricity usage
plant more trees
walk or ride a bike whenever possible
