Climate change, which is a major cause of global warming, has been a major concern over the past few decades. Climate change is defined as a shift in the temperatures. For example, most people have noticed that summers get hotter each year and the winters are warmer than they were in the past. That is all due to climate change. Since climate change and global warming are directly linked, as long as the climate changes; global warming will continue to be a major problem. Fortunately, there are many things that a person can do to reduce this problem.

Cars are a major cause of climate change and global warming because they release carbon dioxide into the environment. Environmentalists have stated that if there are fewer cars on the road, there will be less carbon dioxide released into the environment. People can help the environment by driving less. Taking public transportation and/or carpooling are great ways to not only reduce climate change, but also save money on gas.

People can also save the environment by living greener. Millions of people keep their electrical appliances plugged in when they are not using them and this is a major cause of climate change. That is why it is important to always unplug them. Other ways that a person can live green include: using fluorescent light bulbs, washing clothes in cold water and using a dry rack instead of a dryer.

Environmentalists have stressed the importance of recycling for many years, but still many people fail to do it. If more people recycled, there would be less pollution and less emission coming from greenhouses. This would greatly reduce climate change. People should think before they decide to throw things away. Making an effort to recycle is one of the most important things that a person can do to save the environment.

Climate change is something that everyone should be concerned about. If this trend continues, the lives of humans and animals can be put in jeopardy. That is why everyone should make an effort to be more conscious about what they are doing to the environment. People should make an effort to drive less, live greener and recycle. If everyone works together, the environment can be saved from the dangers of climate change.
