The Environment.
Climate change has been affecting all types of living things on earth. Animals are being forced out of their homes due to their habitats being destroyed or becoming almost impossible to live in.
​
This could affect the whole world in ways such as; starvation, forest fires, and causing animals to potentially lose their homes. Speaking of animals being limited to a certain, small habitat, polar bears are one of the main animals being affected by our change in temperatures. Their habitat is on ice caps which are melting. Usually each winter the temperature freezes more water to ice and increases the size of their habitat. However this year water still froze in the winter but is now melting and decreasing in size.
​
Here are some mind boggling facts:
27,000 trees are cut down each day so we can have toilet paper.
Aluminium can be recycled continuously, as in forever.
Recycling 1 aluminium can could save enough energy to run TVs for 3 hours!
80 trillion aluminium cans are used by humans every year.​
Every day, American businesses generate enough paper to circle the earth 20 times!
Each year, Americans throw away 25 trillion polystyrene cups!
Only 1% of the world's water supply is usable, 97% are the oceans and 2% is frozen (for now).
Humans throw away enough paper and wood each year to heat 50 million houses for 20 years.
The environment is important because it supports the survival of human beings, is the source of natural resources, supports biodiversity and offers remarkable beauty. Moreover, the environment is responsible for air purification and the air we breathe today. These problems are all harming the Environment.
Humans are responsible for 100% of the global warming observed since 1950.
Sadly animals are being affected by climate change everyday and if we don't make change soon some of these impacts will be irreversible by 2030.
