What Can Individuals Do To Combat Climate Change? By Quentin Bollé


Several individual decisions could be taken in order to fight global warming. Firstly, we should reduce our water consumption, turning the tap off while we are brushing our teeth is a good decision. Many people leave the lights switched on when they go out of a room, as a consequence it uses more energy. That's why we shouldn't forget to switch off the lights. In addition, people should do recycling: organic waste, plastic and glass. It's a relevant means to avoid more consumption of oil for example, elements have in this way a second life. Not to mention, public transport, cycling and walking constitute alternatives to the car, if people choose to avoid the car as much as possible, CO2 and NO2 emissions will significantly decrease.
Anyway, we can buy energy efficient cars, why not electric cars?


How Can We Encourage People To Take These Actions?

To get people to be involved, we can impose a fine if they don't follow the new rules, which will be very effective. On the other hand, people who take positive steps to protect the climate will be subsidised by the authorities. Even so, governments may establish televised campaigns in the goal to say realities about climate change, even if some of them don't want to see the situation facing them. But then again, public organisations such as councils, cantons and states have to develop their garbage recycling systems with more gathering-points near people's homes and with logistical facilities.
