For centuries, human actions have been the cause of the long-term alteration of temperature, pollution, and typical weather patterns on Earth; the larger phenomenon we call climate change. These harmful human activities include the burning of fossil fuels as a primary energy source, along with deforestation and industrialization. From global warming, to rising sea levels, to new and extreme weather events, it is clear that the future of our planet is in jeopardy. This is why it is critical that we, as global citizens, adopt new practices to combat climate change. One extremely important solution is the transition from fossil fuels to green energy sources. By generating necessary electricity without harmful greenhouse gas emissions, green energy, as well as lowering our overall energy consumption, allows us to reduce our environmental impact and play our part in saving our planet.
