  • Hey there and welcome to Life Noggin.

  • It can be pretty scary to think of all the dangers of climate change.

  • In the past, weve learned together why we should care, but today let’s find out

  • how to be proactive about the situation.

  • Well learn simple some ways we can help in reversing climate change right now!

  • One way to help against climate change is to drive less when you can.

  • Rather than using your own personal car, try to carpool or use public transportation.

  • If your destination is close enough, maybe even consider walking or riding a bike.

  • Carbon dioxide, or CO2, is a major contributor to climate change and vehicles are a large

  • portion of the CO2 humanity produces.

  • In fact, it’s estimated that for every 2-mile car trip you take, 2 pounds of CO2 are put

  • into the atmosphere.

  • Please thank all those kids riding skateboards even though though they won't get off my lawn!

  • You can also help out by recycling and reusing things when you can.

  • Rather than throwing things away, see if you can find another use for them or donate them

  • to charity if the product is still good.

  • Recycling helps fight climate change because it takes less energy to make a product from

  • recycled products than starting from scratch.

  • Also consider buying things with less packaging in the first place or items that use recyclable

  • packaging.

  • This next one might be a little scary to everyone who has taken part in a war for the thermostat,

  • but I challenge you to try and let your homes be a little warmer in the summer and a little

  • colder in the winter, even if it’s just by a few degrees.

  • Moving your thermostat up 2 degrees in the summer and down 2 degrees in the winter could

  • eliminate an estimated 2,000 pounds of CO2 a year!

  • Your diet can also play a part in the climate change battle.

  • Consider eating less meat when you can, as the animal agriculture industries emit a large

  • amount of greenhouse gases.

  • The livestock sector, which includes things like feed production and transport, is responsible

  • for around 14 percent of all the greenhouse gas emissions around the globe.

  • I’m not necessarily saying you need to go vegetarian or vegan, but maybe try things

  • like Meatless Mondays or pick a plant-based option for even just one meal when you could

  • have had meat.

  • Every little bit helps!

  • I know that kale salad looks scary but you can do it!

  • It should be noted, however, that it might not be as simple as all plants are better

  • for the environment than all meats when taking everything into account such as the energy

  • required to produce the food.

  • Overall though, plant-based diets seem to be better for the fight against climate change

  • than meat-based ones.

  • Another thing you can do is inspire others to join in the fight against climate change.

  • This can be simply talking to your friends and family about the issues or organizing

  • groups and events in your local community.

  • You can even contact your government officials and urge them to take action and have policies

  • that lead to a healthier, greener future.

  • I partnered up with An Inconvenient Sequel to bring you this video because the stakes

  • have never been higher when it comes to our saving our planet.

  • However, we are close to a real energy revolution.

  • You can take action and learn more by watching the film.

  • Send a message of truth to power and see An Inconvenient Truth in New York and Los Angeles

  • starting July 28th and nationwide August 4th.

  • So go forth and let’s try and make this world a better, more sustainable place together!

  • As always, I’m Blocko and this has been Life Noggin.

  • Don’t forget to keep on thinking!

Hey there and welcome to Life Noggin.
