Climate change: problems and solutions by Julie

2020-09-15 19:32:20 UTC

- Bee's are crucial for pollination, and without them our access to food will decline alongside biodiversity in plants.
- Food production needs to be limited, there is huge waste when it comes to supermarkets and serviceable food that is only past its sell by date.
- And the reduction of single use items - such as plastic food containers that fill up landfills at best, and destroy ecosystems at worst.
- Madeline Brew

- I have bought food that I have then left out for too long - making it go bad - and then throwing out without using any of it, wasting food.
- I have my own car which I use to go food shopping, even though there is a small Co-op that is a 10 minute walk down the road. I have favored convenience over sustainability.
- I have bought items from fast fashion brands instead of purposely seeking out sustainable alternatives. The fashion industry wastes a huge amount of resources and exploits underprivileged workers.
- Madeline Brew

2020-09-15 19:42:14 UTC

- Invest more time and money into sustainable fashion alternatives - such as buying second hand.
- Adapt my diet to include less animal products such as meat and dairy (I should do this regardless of sustainability because I am lactose intolerant)
- Plant bee-friendly plants: help the bee population, and produce my own food to reduce commercial waste - 2 in 1!

1. Type of energy used on industrial level.

Use of fossil fuels is causing release of CO2 and the switch is needed. We have solar panels, wind turbines. electricity and so on and so forth. It can be done.

2. Animal populations need to be increased, including bees.

They help us and we will devastated when they are gone and hurt when prices rise. If all we need to do is plant some flowers/ trees, it can be done today.

3. A better understanding of the markets so less waste.

More research into food markets and others may help us understand where demand and supply meet and therefore we can reduce the waste.

zoeroachbowler — 2020-09-17 13:28:13 UTC

1. I used my car to go to the shops which were close
2. Our family bought too much food on the last shop and did not realise the use before dates causing us to throw it out.
3. I did not put rubbish in the correct bin

zoeroachbowler — 2020-09-17 13:29:55 UTC

1. Buy from sustainable causes
2. Don't drive when it can be avoided
3. Eat less meat

2020-09-17 18:23:16 UTC

I think the following three areas require the most urgent action:
1. Converting energy supplies to renewable energy sources, in particular decreasing the amount of petrol used for transportation.
2. Limiting the emissions from aviation and also tackling the amount of wasted energy (e.g. light pollution).
3. Food production , the distance food is transported and the issue of food waste as well as the amount of meat consumed.

2020-09-17 18:25:39 UTC

1. Food delivery – packaged food which has been transported from abroad and isn’t the most sustainable option.
2. Travelling by car (although, the amount we have been travelling has dramatically decreased since lockdown)
3. Using a gas oven (rather than an electric one)
A.B.

2020-09-17 18:26:19 UTC

Some things I could do to help tackle the effects of climate change include reducing the amount of food waste; recycling the packaging; planting pollinator friendly plants; and limiting the amount of times I travel by car.

Spending too long in the shower
Leaving my laptop charger on for longer than it needed to be
As a family we sometimes buy too much food and and therefore end up wasting it

- Isla Buchanan

2020-09-21 22:05:08 UTC

I don’t eat meat but I could reduce the amount of fish and dairy I eat
As a family we often buy organic fruit and vegetables as they use fewer pesticides, but we can try to reduce food miles by buying more local products
Spend more time outside so I don’t need to use electrical light as much – and also get more vitamin D at the same time!

- Isla Buchanan

2020-09-25 18:02:54 UTC

1- An increase use of renewable energy in transport, within households and businesses
2- An increased focus on waste - in particular food waste and packing
3- A stronger focus on reducing carbon emissions
- Lauren Binder

2020-09-25 18:07:33 UTC

1- Commuting - All my family commute to our workplaces however some of us are only 15 minutes away in the same city
2- Food waste - ordering in food rather than using whats in the house or buying too much food
3- Eating meat
- Lauren Binder

2020-09-25 18:10:52 UTC

1- Waste less packing/ buy products with no packing and bring reusable bags
2- Eat less meat and take on a more vegetarian/ vegan diet
3- Use electricity only when needed - wear a jumper if it's cold instead of the heating and unplug devices when they're not in use
- Lauren Binder

2020-09-25 18:23:11 UTC

1. Reduce the amount of fossil fuels that we burn
2. Quickly switch to renewable energy
3. Save our biodiversity

2020-09-25 18:25:17 UTC

1. When i went grocery shopping I asked for a plastic bag, while I could have just easily carried it in my hand, but it seemed easier first. Next time I should bring my own sateen bag.
2. I used Uber way too many times, and probably I should have walked instead as there were not big distances.
3. I might have used lamps and lights unnecessarily.

2020-09-25 18:28:01 UTC

1. One can change his eating habit by consuming less meat and diary.
2. We should use less cars. We can walk, use our bicycles or public transports.
3. It might costs a bit more money but we have to switch using renewable energy.

1. We need to act on the issues with renewable and non renewable energy

2020-09-26 13:14:15 UTC

2. Save our environment so try to eat less meat and go for other options such as plant based food

3. Reduce our carbon footprint and start having other forms of transportation such as walking more, riding a bicycle to work instead of taking a car or the train

~ULV

2020-09-26 13:18:54 UTC

1. Used the car and public transport a lot when I didn't want to walk anymore

2. Had the lights in my house on a lot and would often leave the plug switched on after charging my phone

3. Would run the shower before entering and would spend a long time in there

~ULV

2020-09-26 13:21:54 UTC

1. One way could be walking more to your destinations or half way to your destinations so that you have less of a carbon footprint

2. Eating less meat or going for plant based foods etc

3. When my devices such as my laptop, phone etc have charged , I should turn off the switch and try to not run the shower and leave it running

~ULV

3 issues that need acting upon urgently!

2020-09-27 13:48:21 UTC

1) As the highest output of carbon emissions we need to act upon changing to renewable sources of electricity and uses of heat.

2) We need to improve Reforestation levels to lower our levels of carbon dioxide and to improve habitats for nature.

3) Improve our transportation methods by adapting roads to incorporate more cycle lanes. Improving technology to create more improved methods of transport.

1) Leaving my devices on standby knowing that I wouldn't be using them in the next hour.

2020-09-27 13:59:09 UTC

2) Using my car for short journeys when time/health wasn't an issue.

3)Wasting food that could have been kept for the next day.

2020-09-27 14:02:50 UTC

1) I will use my car less and walk/cycle more.

2) Incorporating 'meat free' meals into my families diet.

3) I will look at the changes I can make in my home to reduce my energy use or to choose a more sustainable option.

Top three issues we need to work on immediately

2020-10-06 06:14:06 UTC

1. The climate change will cause the sea level rise, melting glaciers, drought and flood disasters increase and so on.
2. The acid rain pollution will cause the death of plants and the living creatures in the lake and so on.
3.The water pollution will cause the shortage of water resources and desertification and so on.

Renewable energy usage, clean heating fuel usage and carbon sequestration. These will take us a large step of the way towards reducing our current emissions and (through improve soil usage, tree planting and CCS) capturing historical emissions.

2020-10-10 12:10:11 UTC

1. Arable soil depletion - he have about 60 years of farmable soil left on the Earth unless we drastically change our modern farming practices.

2020-10-10 12:10:15 UTC

2. Capatilistic economic model - our current economic system is designed to maximise profit and depends on infinite continuous growth. This is inherently unsustainable and incompatable with climate action

3. Carbon sequestration - in Europe we are making good strides towards impleenting renewable energy. But removing carbon that is already in the atmosphere is an important step to staying within 1.5 degrees, and very little progress has been made here

1) Purchased convenience store sandwiches with single use plastic.

2020-10-10 12:12:59 UTC

2) Left equipment on in the lab when I wasn't using it.
3) Ordered something online with packaging.

1) Convince more friends to reduce meat and dairy intake

2020-10-10 12:14:45 UTC

2) Ask my landlord to buy us an electric hob to avoid gas usage
3) Cook more at home and avoid convenience foods.

3. reducing food waste

2020-10-14 15:32:59 UTC

- buying items wrapped in plastic for convenience / cheap pricing (broccoli)

- using the car for short journeys that should be walkable

- using Fairy washing up liquid (!?! literally says on the back that it kills aquatic wildlife - switched to ecover instead!)

Shopping sustainably

2020-10-14 15:34:44 UTC

- continuing to not eat meat / dairy products
- trying to buy British products only to reduce food miles
- reduce food waste (freeze what isnt used)

Eating food that is not in season which is wasteful of energy but does provide employment in some less developed countries.

- try to buy more loose leaf tea rather than individual tea bags, which contains plastic to use as a seal.
- try to use my portable devices less

2020-11-14 15:42:56 UTC

- Buying vegetables wrapped in plastic. Unfortunately there are no alternatives at the local stores.
- Using cling film to wrap my lunches

1. Reducing food waste which is huge

s_lygo_baker — 2020-11-18 14:28:35 UTC

2. Limit the amount of meat eaten
3. Maintaining biodiversity

A bad week...

s_lygo_baker — 2020-11-18 14:30:13 UTC

Drove my car when i could have walked because it was raining - nothing wrong with an umbrella

Left the lights on in the house when i should have turned them off

Threw away food i had left in the fridge

Eating

s_lygo_baker — 2020-11-18 14:32:06 UTC

1. Eat more vegetables
2. Plan so i throw less away
3. Think where my food comes from when I am shopping

3 issues to act on:

2020-11-18 18:40:34 UTC

1. Reduce fossil fuel usage by switching to renewable energy
2. Reduce food wastage and unnecessary transportation of food/drink e.g. airflown fruit and bottled water shipped around the world
3. Reduce meat/dairy consumption to reduce methane emissions from cattle

Living in UK!

2020-11-18 18:45:17 UTC

It's hard to live in an industrialised developed country like the UK and live sustainably. Currently in lockdown, so I am not travelling around much. I have driven to the park to walk my dog, which is probably unnecessary. In fact, having a pet dog is an unsustainable luxury, but not one I am willing to give up!
I'm trying to reduce my meat consumption, just eating chicken and fish, but I still eat dairy products so am contributing to methane in the atmosphere.

3 Actions to take:

2020-11-18 18:48:31 UTC

No more long haul flights
Eat plant based diet
Contribute to charity to plant trees in tropical rainforest

1. Food systems

2020-11-27 17:32:36 UTC

The whole of our food system needs reviewing. From the ridiculous fact that apples and lamb is flown from New Zealand to UK to generally looking at the amount of meat and dairy each individual is consuming.

2. Faster investment in renewable energy.

3. Stopping the destruction of rainforests.

1. Eat meat

2020-11-27 17:36:36 UTC

2. Heated my house with Oil.
3. Drive a diesel car.

1. Lookout for the airmails on food.

2020-12-28 12:05:52 UTC

diet- eating mean and dairy/ the agriculture industry are one of the largest causes of green house gas emissions

2020-12-28 12:06:47 UTC

removing meat and dairy from diet and avoiding flying will greatly reduce an individuals carbon footprint

2020-12-28 12:07:31 UTC

reducing meat and dairy; shop sustainably (i.e. avoid fast fashion); limit flying

rs01145 — 2021-01-16 14:01:41 UTC

rs01145 — 2021-01-16 14:03:11 UTC

Renewable energy use, eating less meat and reducing food waste

2021-01-21 14:30:56 UTC

Eating more meat than needed, leaving switches and chargers on that were not needed and wasting water by leaving taps running for longer than needed

2021-01-21 14:31:36 UTC

At least reduce my meat consumption, if not become vegetarian, stop going on drives that are not needed, and remember to take bags with me shopping instead of purchasing more

2021-01-21 14:33:06 UTC

Reducing animal agriculture, seen as the most polluting industry; Reduce pollution by using renewable energy, including sustainable transport; limit the number of people congregated in megacities, which is extremely polluting.

2021-01-21 18:17:21 UTC

Wasting food that could have been eaten by cooking unnecessary extra food; driving for short distances instead of walking; leaving the tap running just for the heat to come.

2021-01-21 18:19:35 UTC

Choose walking for short distance instead of driving or use bike; Have healthy cold showers; Become vegetarian or support growth of lab produced meat.

2021-01-21 18:21:10 UTC

The first and key thing is intensive animal farming designated to maximise the production and minimising costs. Intensive agriculture a significant part of greenhouse gases, utilises more and more terrain for farming crops such as soy which are mostly used to feed the animals such as cows. It usually results in deforestation as more and more terrains are needed for food production for animals. The second thing is destroying the natural habitats of various animals by polluting them, excessive deforestation or a people moving to new areas to live there. It may disrupt a delicate biodiversity balance in nature and cause devastating effects such as dying of coral reefs due to the chemicals and water pollutions. The third important issue is moving from a not sustainable energy sources such as coal to sustainable and renewable energy sources such as wind, sunlight or water to minimise the emission of greenhouse gases and to improve the air quality

2021-01-22 12:56:21 UTC

I wasted some food which could have been eaten thanks to a better meals planning or freezing some food products, I consumed quite a lot of animal products such as dairy which have a negative effect on the environment and I could have tried to eat more plantbased. I also bought some grocery items in unnecessary plastic packagings which I could have possibly bought in bulk from local farmers or from different stores.

2021-01-22 13:07:05 UTC

As someone who has been a vegetarian for the last three years I could try to cut down on animal products such as diary, eggs or honey to minimise the negative impact on the environment. I can also try to improve my meals planning and better planning of grocery shopping not to waste so much food. I can also start paying attention to buying clothes from brands which pay a fair wages to their employees, don't use excessive packaging and produce their clothes using sustainable materials.

2021-01-22 13:10:03 UTC

I think we need to really tackle the disposal of waste immediately as often it is put into landfill in poorer countries who are exploited with this. We need to tackle emissions on a corporate scale as it's unfair to blame consumers as they account for such a small amount of this. I think we also need to tackle using renewable energy sources as this is crucial anyway as non-renewable energy such as coal will run out soon anyway.

sb01859 — 2021-01-25 19:53:47 UTC

Eating meat for many meals, ordering takeaways on deliveroo rather than picking them up myself (car emissions) and ordering online

sb01859 — 2021-01-25 19:55:51 UTC

Order less online, cut down on eating meat (would be good for health anyway) and grow some food in my garden!

sb01859 — 2021-01-25 19:56:56 UTC

2021-01-31 12:58:07 UTC

1. Reduce animal product consumption not just for sustainability but also because morally we cannot continue to cause so much pain and suffering.

leonpaullynn — 2021-10-24 13:46:13 UTC

1. The lack of large, meaningful action by any developed country to tackle climate change (e.g. pushes for renewable energy/recycling etc)
2. Global inequality --- an intiative to prevent wasted/stolen money and use it to support impoverished communities needs to be taken
3. Protecting biodiversity --- sustainable uses of raw materials, protected habitats and changes in food production

2021-10-26 18:53:16 UTC

1.)Actions rather than words. Western entitlement and attitudes are problems that cause people to not fully embrace/care about small things like cycling, or using more public transport, or walking. Governments can easily enact policy that restricts poor urban plnning. An example would be Sadiq Khan extending th ULEZ zone in London. A step further would to ban all non-public transport in immediate central London.

2.)Recycling and ridding the world of single-use plastics. Instead of having these plastics be wasted, develop, incentive, force companies to use biodgradabel packaging, where it doesn't get dumped.

3.) Earth conservation. Stop raw sewage dumping into rivers and lakes. Kill the reliance on over-fishing. Plant trees, and reintroduce species to wildlife habitats. Yellowstone National Park proved this with the reintroduction of wolves, and so have various European countries

2021-10-26 18:58:03 UTC

Reduce food waste over the Christmas period within my household by planning ahead, and preparing adequate food storage facilties

2021-12-16 15:20:12 UTC

1.Addressing global inequalities: richer countries should provide aid and equipment required to reduce inequality and assist poorer countries to adequately prepare for the climate crisis. An aspect of this should include correct taxation of wealthy businesses and individuals (the idea of billionaires existing being inherently unethical is linked to this).
2. Restoring biodiversity. Areas that can be rewilded without losing productive land that we then need to outsource to poorer countries, should be. Protecting wetlands, marshes, floodplains, restoring rivers to their natural patterns (to increase flood protections). Stricter regulation on new builds (location, sustainable building materials, inbuilt renewable energy sources, hedghog holes, bird boxes), to help reduce their impact on biodiversity
3. Switching to renewable energy and transportation services

2022-02-04 11:18:09 UTC

1. Buying fresh vegetables that are imported from other countries

Environmental Issues

2022-02-11 15:27:18 UTC

1. Proper education: In most countries, there is no proper education on hygiene and sanitation. Because of manufacturing around in countries, first we have to make sure that we don't allow throwing out waste in open which creates un-hygienic sceneries around any living being. And than for bigger picture start working on re-use concept for example, instead of creating bottles, we can use containers or bottles which we already have. Hence proper education on these kind of really concepts will help to improve living conditions of people.
2. Water Pollution: Social-work is a very broad term to define. But if take a scenario with highly populated countries like India, people volunteering can make a big change on the environment. Introduction of chemical substances and waste in rivers and lakes makes the biological condition of aquatic animals miserable. Its always good to keep a note on daily basis, how to use and how much to use water. Additionally making rivers clean by some strategies will be great work to look after.
3. Food waste: Roughly one-third of the food produced for human consumption gets wasted every year. Leading to wastage of water (including resources used to grow that food) According to the article:
25 Facts About Food Waste | Earth.Org - Past | Present | Future, if we stop throwin away food, we can save the equivalent of 17 metric tonnes of CO2.

I think everybody should learn more about sustainability, and they should try adjust it in their private and professional lives. Moreover, every government should invest in this field more.

2022-06-07 21:15:20 UTC

walking or riding instead of driving.
using cotton bag instead of plastic one.

2022-06-09 14:35:39 UTC

1. Educating everyone (of all ages) about the situation the world is in and the climate crisis and how pressing it truly is.
2. Implementing laws and restrictions on both firms and consumers (limiting energy sources to only the most sustainable options, banning fossil fuels, banning single use plastics, banning petrol/diesel cars, etc). The power is in the hands of the governments and law makers.
3. Caps on rent and food prices etc to enable low income families access to essentials, reducing the income gap between high and low income families. Less inequality in society will enable us to focus much more intensely on the climate crisis.

2022-06-09 14:36:45 UTC

shreyanshparmar95 — 2022-06-10 13:29:30 UTC

In my opinion, several challenges need to be considered and depending upon the location solution would need to be varied.
1. The need for renewable energysourcese is most important.
2. Population has risen exponentially over the last few decades, which needs to be kept in check. As the land is finally limited and with more people the needs will keep growing.
3. Equality and appropriate allocation of resources, the division currently spreads across a diversified scale which is required to be narrowed.

shreyanshparmar95 — 2022-06-10 13:34:13 UTC

1. Wastage of food in major retail stores and restaurant chain is limitless.
2. Private vehicles create congestion and waste fuel much more than required for an average person.
3. Use of energy in heater, lights and other electrical appliances uunnecessarily
3.

shreyanshparmar95 — 2022-06-10 13:38:16 UTC

1. Plug out the charges for devices when charged sufficiently (around 80%) and switch to energy-efficient electric appliances
2. Walk more or use public transport, if possible use an electric vehicle instead of petrol or diesel based.
3. Appropriate use of wastage bags and separate the recyclable waste from rest, which can be recycled or reused for another purpose.

3 issues:

hd0016 — 2023-01-27 16:40:27 UTC

1. Climate change, as i feel this links to all other aspects of sustainability - without a stable climate, the worlds ecosystem is at risk, which will impact each and every being on the planet.
2. Human wellbeing - i feel that the world has changed so much, we have moved away from the community spirit that used to be so fundamental, and we live in a fast paced, 'do it now' world, where everyone is looking for something more/better. We are seeing ever increasing mental health challenges and we need to focus on human wellbeing and restoring health and happiness.
3. Biodiversity - we are treating the world as though it has infinite resources and this is absolutely not the case, we need to think about the finite resources and how we can protect these.

hd0016 — 2023-01-27 16:41:12 UTC

Food waste, i live on my own and i struggle not to waste food due to having a very nomadic lifestyle. This is something i really need to work on.
Jumping in the car when i could cycle or walk.
Plastic waste - when buying goods, i need to be more mindful of what i am buying.

1. climate change.. A lot is going on and there is so much warning on the changing climate and its effect on human existence. This has caused me a lot of panic to the extent that I have decided to undertake a study and be a part of the corrective team

2023-02-02 00:40:00 UTC

2. burning of Fossil Oil and how this has grossly affected the environment, with the need to turn to renewable energy, in a bid to sustainable the enviroment

3. Biodiversity loss and the fact that bees are becoming extinct is also scary. This will lead to total destruction of mankind, if there is no food.

Buying things I do not need because I feel sorry for the seller who has been hawking goods all day to feed herself and her kids.

2023-02-02 00:42:13 UTC

Using the car to short distances that I could walk to.
Throwing dirts out of the car window

Be a lot more sensitive to the needs of the environment
travel less

ryanlewis2930 — 2023-02-03 19:32:55 UTC

1) Climate Change
2) Biodiversity
3) Increase in Greenhouse Gasses

The increase in the global temperatures due to excess green house gas emissions is negatively impacting and threatening our existence.
The ice caps are currently melting at a rapid rate thus affecting the natural habitats within those cold regions.
Wild fires are more prevalent and some species are on the brink of extinction.

ryanlewis2930 — 2023-02-03 19:43:05 UTC

1) Leaving on Electrical Appliances / Lights:- Over the last week, I could clearly remember leaving on some of the electrical lights in my home. Though, this might be small compared to the grand scale of things, imagine the overall (global) effects if millions of home owners operate in this manner. It means more energy is needed to compensate for wasted electricity.

2) Eating large amount of meat:- The more individuals consume meat, the higher the market demand. As a consequence, the supply will increase due to the high demand. In order to satisfy the high supply, more rearing of cows, pigs, chickens etc. will take place. This will directly contribute to more animal waste (methane gases etc.) which will negatively impact the environment.

3) Excess Use of Motor Vehicle:- I tend to use vehicle a lot to commute, even though most times, the desired travel distance is short.

ryanlewis2930 — 2023-02-03 19:49:56 UTC

1) Plant more trees within my surrounding. These include trees for both food and decorative purposes. This will contribute to more oxygenated air within the environs.

2) Conserve on electricity as much as possible. Ensure lights are turned off when not in use and all appliances properly plugged out.

3) Practice recycling as often as possible.
Look at ways to reuse plastic bottles and other disposable plastic containers.
Prepare compost with organic kitchen waste.

2023-02-04 18:23:17 UTC

1) Climate Change - If we don't deal with this now, it will have a longterm negative effect in the future and for future generations as well.

2) Reduction of Biodiversity - Nature and human society are somewhat connected. For example, bees are necessary to provide certain foods and if those species are reduced, then food insecurity may develop. As a result, the gap between the rich and the poor will further increase.

3) Finding alternative sustainable resources - we can't keep relying on fossil fuels for energy. We need to find more renewable resources than everyone can use that is not too costly to us or the planet. It must also be something that we can use for the long term as well.

2023-02-04 18:26:14 UTC

1) Using a car for short distances that are walkable.

2) Eating a lot of meat

3) Not turning lights off when I leave the room.

2023-02-04 18:28:57 UTC

1) Use public transport more rather than using a car. This would mean less green house gases produced per person.

2)Conserve as much electricity as possible. Don't leave the lights on when I leave the room.

3) Try to recycle more waste, such as plastic bottles, in my own house.

1. Energy generation - Fossil fuel burning, 2. Human activities like environmental destruction and 3. arming practices/agriculture

bbyamukama — 2023-02-27 11:56:51 UTC

1. The burning of fossil fuels is still the leading GHG emission source

2. Destruction of forests and other areas like wetlands deplete animal and plant species and destabilize the ecosystem

3. Agriculture is known to contribute between 13 and 21% of the GHG emission

bbyamukama — 2023-02-27 11:59:36 UTC

1. Someone littering

2. Encroachment and destruction of wetlands in Uganda

3. Demonstrations where people were burning car tyres

bbyamukama — 2023-02-27 12:18:57 UTC

1. Community sensitization as many people still don't actual understanding of how climate change can occur and why?

2. Personally I walk most of the times

3. Complement national efforts and wetlands and other crucial areas protection through whistle blowing

2023-02-28 13:35:33 UTC

-Lowering of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on a large scale

-Global motive has to be set. Not everyone sees the benefit of being sustainable without there being a monetary gain in it

-Acknowledging the affect our actions has on other species and reducing impact on them

2023-02-28 13:37:14 UTC

Take shorter showers

Eat more a plant based diet

3 issues:

2023-07-19 20:33:53 UTC

1) Climate change
2) Reduction of biodiversity
3) Global inequality

3 things that were not sustainable:

2023-07-19 20:36:23 UTC

1. Reduce the amount of fossil fuels that we burn.
2. Quickly switch to renewable energy.
3. Save our biodiversity.

1. Spending too long in the shower. 2. Leaving my laptop charger on for longer than it needed to be. 3. As a family, we sometimes buy too much food and therefore end up wasting it.

2023-07-24 14:27:04 UTC

1- Waste less packing/ buy products with no packing and bring reusable bags. 2- Eat less meat and take on a more vegetarian/ vegan diet. 3- Use electricity only when needed and unplug devices when they're not in use.

2023-07-24 14:29:33 UTC

2023-07-27 11:14:46 UTC

1.Reduce the amount of burning fossil fuels as it increases the temerature of earth which directly means increase in the level of global warming.
2.Use the renewable sources judiciously as they are limited and help future generations to use available sources.
3.Reduce the air ,water ,noise and land pollution .

2023-07-27 11:22:23 UTC

- Bring shopping bags to the store so we don't have to buy new ones
- Turn the tap off when brushing teeth or doing skincare
- Walk more instead of driving where possible

💝My opinion is the same as the things I learned today from professor today and I will share all these to you 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

2023-08-29 20:13:36 UTC

^{Professor Angela Druckman 🩷 explained well about the challenges we may face in sustainability 🌴}

^{🍁In the beginning of their speech, they said very beautifully how climate change is a serious problem.}

^{☘️And she explained well that the main cause of climate change 🌧️🌦️🌤️⛄is the emission of greenhouse gases that we use to produce energy as a result of burning carbon dioxid 🔥.}

^{🌳And she added that the problem of climate change will be problems such as floods💦🫧💦, droughts, hot winds, floods due to the high temperature of the seas and rising water.}

^{🦚The next urgent and sensitive issue is dealing with the problem of biodiversity loss, in which the use of harmful agricultural tools may cause the extinction of important and vital species.}

^{🐝The example of the bee was the best and sweetest example that I heard .}

^{🐢She said how small animals and species have a vital role on saving human being.🦗}

^{👥🫂👤And endangering their existence is not only morally wrong and ultimately destroys the lives of humanity.}

^{🕸️In the end, Professor Druckman beautifully explained that it is the poorest people in the society or the poorest country who are at risk and need to be taken care of, and they are the first decile to suffer.}^{now a little of my own opinion:
1-my personal opinion is the most urgent thing we should do in this way is improve people awareness especially into the poor and undeveloped countries .
2-encorage people to do their best to be a earth saver and admire peolpe in cities and suburbs who gives beneficial solution abut sustainability and spread this encouraging spirit among employees and heads and departments
3- and at the end in my point of view start from our own homes and teach our children from childhood.}

^{🪻In the end, I want to thank Professor Angela Druckman, who gives us these beautiful teachings with patience and enthusiasm.🌻}

2023-08-29 20:16:27 UTC

^{🌻Before this course, I considered myself a lover of the earth and environment 👩‍🌾

👩‍🏫but after learning the fundamental of these important and vital topics I say to myself that do my family and I are more likely to develop good habits to help keep the environment clean??🌳

👩‍🏫In fact, most of what happens today or some of our habits are slowly damaging the environment 🌼

👩‍🏫And while some of these human habits may seem harmless and so much integrated into our everyday life, they can significantly impact our environment in the long haul.🦚

👉🏻Here are 3 daily wrong habits of my that are slowly killing the environment :☠️

🚗1. Driving
Driving is one of the chief means I prefer to use when going about my daily activities.🎠

🔋2. Improper Disposal of Batteries and Ink
We’ve all used household batteries in remote controls, clocks, calculators, toys, and other items.🪫

📰3-Using Paper
Paper is used daily by my family and I in different forms. in the form of paper towels🧻 in the kitchen, tissues in the toilet, and print media 📎

🌍I appreciate a healthy earth for everyone🌏}

👸

2023-08-29 20:18:39 UTC

^{👩‍🏫The important role that you and me, can play to solve climate change is very important and necessary.🫂

📯Awareness of the nature of climate change, its importance and the responsibility of each of us towards this issue are among the main prerequisites for dealing with climate change.

From my point of view, we should speak like Greta👧, even if we can't speak globally, at least speak to friends👭 and acquaintances,👫 encourage them to participate in improving and reducing consumption, this is one of the fastest🏃‍♀ and most effective ways to make a difference.

⏭️The next ways is to:🛤️

1- Buy food from local farmers: 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾This reduces air consumption in 2 ways: you no need to travel 🧳a long distance to buy food and the food does not travel ✈️a long way to reach you.

💵2- Grow your own food: Even if you do not have a big house with a garden, you can grow vegetables on the terrace.🍅🥒🫛🥕

🪬the other most important ways, is to protect animals🐄🐖🐁

🚰Always hang a container of water or food from the window of the house. Maybe animal needs it🐃

🌲Plant flowers, trees, and anything that attracts animals.📈

🦎Do not take the chance of life from mice, spiders and snakes. The presence of these animals indicates the health of the ecosystem. 🐛🦗🪰

🌎Thanks to each and every one of you my dear friends
Hoping for a happy and healthy earth🌍}

Reducing pollution, particularly plastic and chemical waste, is essential to protect human health and the environment.

3 thing I did that was not sustainable

2024-10-08 00:07:49 UTC

I forgot to bring my shopping bag and ended up buying a Tesco plastic bag. Which is bad as plastic does not biodegrade (meaning it stays in our environment as waste for years). This type of pollution can also affect marine life.
Not remembering to turn of my room or kitchen lights when not in use. Wasting electricity.
Wasting food which went out of date as I didn't check the best before date earlier. When other people in poverty are struggling for food.

3 actions to tackle climate change

2024-10-08 00:11:51 UTC

recycling
walking more often to short distance places rather than driving
turning lights off when im not using it, or making use of daylight

3 main issues that need to be acted upon

2024-10-08 00:15:44 UTC

Global warming- otherwise temperatures could end up increasing each year until the earth is not habitable anymore.
food waste ( especially in shops and food businesses)
plastic pollution (which cannot biodegrade and stays in our environment as waste for too long.

3 main issues

2024-10-15 10:41:31 UTC

1 - Food waste: Although shops in the UK are being more involved in things like too good to go. The amount of food waste from shops and households is awful

2 - Global warming: We urgently need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to try and reduce severe environmental impacts

3 - Deforestation: Protecting and restoring nature is crucial to reversing the effects that deforestation has had on our ecosystem

cj0040 — 2024-10-30 16:38:36 UTC

Climate change - our contributions to global warming have catastrophic outcomes on biodiversity.

Plastic pollution - endangering biodiversity, food supply and water resources.

Overpopulation - contribute to both increased climate change, pollution and the rise of inequalities within our society. Food will become scarcer, and our resources in general will decrease.

2. Accelerating action on climate change, including transitioning to renewable energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and implementing global climate policies.

3. Addressing microplastic pollution through stricter regulations in industries like fast fashion, improving waste management, and increasing awareness about its presence in food and water.

Unsustainable actions

2025-01-02 11:41:15 UTC

Buy a plastic bottle of water because I forgot to fill my reuseable one up at home.
Flying back to the UK from an overseas holiday.
Purchasing items online and having them posted to me, instead of walking to the store (distribution, sales, etc.)

3 Actions

2025-01-02 11:44:00 UTC

Reduce meat consumption.
Purchase items with sustainability as a priority. E.g. purchasing clothes second-hand from Vinted, choosing fruit/veg with less packaging, or fully using items before purchasing a new one.
Waiting until I can fill the washing machine to wash clothes.

3 Issues

2025-01-02 11:46:29 UTC

Biodiversity loss - if biodiversity continues to increase it will be impossible to get back. We will be seeing more animals in museums than in the wild.
Global warming - reduction in production of greenhouses gases to prevent rising temperatures.
Awareness - making everyone aware and accountable for sustainability. One person alone cannot solve climate change.

3 Big Concerns:

2025-01-04 15:26:32 UTC

increase in sea levels - ice caps melting are putting animals at risk of extinction and peoples homes based near water are disappearing
Fast fashion - non-biodegradable products are being disgarded in low income countries due to the promotion of mass consumption of poor quality items.
Attitude - many people continue to believe this isn't something to worry about now or their actions aren't doing anything. Out of sight doesn't mean damage isn't being done.

3 Un-sustainable actions:

2025-01-04 15:30:42 UTC

Threw away excess food i couldn't finish eating
leaving the light on in a room thinking ill be back in a minute, take longer than expected and come back realising its remained on
having a bath which uses a lot of water for a short period of time

3 Actions i can take:

2025-01-04 15:35:43 UTC

buy things less frequently or at least something pre-loved or a sustainable item
donate and advocate towards organisations making a difference abroad towards sustainable goals
only wash clothing when it can fill the washing machine drum

3 Urgent actions

2025-01-06 13:29:05 UTC

Awareness and attitude (resulting in action and change). This is a broad topic and arguably I would say the most important, but in this context; I am meaning it relative to those with extreme wealth and privilege. There needs to be pressure on and action by 'celebrities', sports persons and all persons of power & wealth (global leaders, politicians, CEO's and magnates etc.) to be more considered of their consumption and impact. I find it increasingly hard to stomach seeing those (aforementioned) using private jets, when so many of us 'regular' people, who have much less wealth, less resources etc. are trying our best to off-set our own impact. It's incredibly disheartening to feel that any small/significant action and benefit made by an individual, a group, a community etc. appears to just be completely obliterated, by the impact of others continuing to use unsustainable resources, as mentioned.
Infrastructure to support 'greener' industry.
I am using a small-scale example here, but as an owner/driver of a fuel-powered car (petrol); I have absolutely no inclination or plans to move over to EV or even hybrid vehicles (until I quite literally have no other option); as there is simply not the infrastructure to facilitate this (in UK at least). By infrastructure, I am meaning a significant lack of available (public) charging stations and the financial outlay, in switching over to electric; the fact is, so many simply cannot afford the huge cost in not only the EV/hybrid vehicle itself, let alone also investing in installation of a private charging point and remove the reliance on public/accessible points. As a side note, I am a user of public transport however these services, again, are not reliable enough to counter the convenience and for many (myself included), the necessity of use of a private vehicle. Train services are hugely unreliable and often subject to disruption. Bus services are also not able to facilitate the demand and as a sad example, the central 'bus station' in my local town (Aldershot) was disbanded completely, with fewer buses and fewer routes now running. Another equivalent example, of a sustainable energy alternative not quite being attainable or feasible for many (the majority); is the switching to heat pumps over conventional boilers, for homes.
Conservation/restoration of biodiversity.
Again, it's a broad topic but as a single example; more positive action such as banning of harmful chemicals like those harming our bees, with ability to legislate a wider reach. It seems pointless to have the chemical bannned in the UK, where Brazil (as mentioned) and other countries may/will be able to continue use. Other initiatives to counter species extinction/protect and foster protection of habitats and species, are essential.

Education, motivators, structures

2025-10-10 14:06:28 UTC

I don’t mean to sound pessimistic, but I worry that in developed societies it may take one, or even several, extreme events before people are willing to give up their addiction to economic growth. That said, I believe there is a civilised way to approach this shift:

1) Education

Climate change is now widely covered in schools, and young people are generally aware of the issues. Surveys from YouGov, ONS, and BEIS show that around 70–80% of 18–34-year-olds express “high concern” about climate change, which supports this assumption. However, many people don’t know what GDP is, let alone how it works, and very few understand how our culture and economic structures contribute to the climate crisis.

We should ensure that children are introduced to concepts like Doughnut Economics before GCSE level. That way, when future economists encounter traditional models, they already have an alternative framework for comparison. And for those not pursuing economics, there is still value in understanding how lifestyle and consumption link to planetary boundaries. Children tend to have a strong sense of fairness, so these ideas are likely to resonate more deeply with them than with adults whose habits and worldviews are more entrenched.

2) Governance and Responsibility

A government’s first duty is to protect its citizens. To support that, stronger rules around lobbying are needed to reduce corruption and prioritise public interest over vested interests. I recently read about John Rawls and his maximin principle, which argues that a just society should be structured so the position of the worst-off is as good as possible. I think this approach is especially vital in the context of AI. If algorithms are designed only to optimise for the greatest number, the result could be a deeply unjust or even intolerable situation for those who are already disadvantaged.

3) Restructuring the Economy

Having addressed education and motivation—which together can build public support, trust, and transparency—we come to the economy itself. I could focus on individual measures such as investment in public transport or incentives to reduce meat consumption, but all of these changes ultimately depend on the broader structure of our society. Fundamental change is needed.

While this transformation is urgent, it should be introduced as gradually as circumstances allow, but with persistence and determination. People need to understand the vision for the new economy and see its benefits clearly. The goal is greater equality and better outcomes for everyone. Imagine campaigns that promote vegetables and physical activity with the same glamour and investment currently given to perfume or 🤬—except the natural solutions are far more likely to make people healthier, more attractive, and sexually vital.

Pollution, energy & consumption

2025-12-02 06:01:52 UTC

Taylor Swift and her jets, tyre mountains burning, engine idling sitting in unnecessary traffic for an hour every morning to drive the 4 miles to school & work next to an entirely empty bus lane whilst stuck at the 30th speed reducing nightmare in a mile, fruit wrapped in plastic, oil spills & nuclear waste leaks but sure, useless paper straws & irritating expensive LED bulbs are the solution.

We live in the UK. We are an island. Of all the weather driven energy sources why are pushing solar?? I have solar panels but without battery storage they are absolutely useless. They take the edge off slightly for 3 months per year but are pointless the rest of the year. For example we had a power cut last night and our panels did nothing to help, they had generated 0.6KWH all day. I noticed all the other houses with panels also lost all power. The amount of carbon & waste generated by the panels for them to barely do anything is not an investment worth it in the UK. However what we do have is rain, wind, the sea, friction generated by car tyres on the packed roads, SURELY we should focus more on those, not solar?? It's the UK!

Fast fashion, 15 lipsticks in plastic tubes per person, trinkets, things, stuff! My grandparents would have 1 good quality wool coat that lasted 20 years, now we have a new synthetic fibre one that lasts 3 months. They had shoes that last 10 years, now shoes fall apart within a few weeks & a few wears. I cannot count how many pairs of my shoes have the sole falling off, water getting in, the stitching coming undone, when they're only a few months old. Clothes would last years, now the stitching falls apart, the colours fade & the shape disappears within a few wears, even the expensive stuff. You used to buy a fridge that would last 40 years of marriage, now they're designed to only last 3 years. We're obsessed with having our homes decorated as fashionably as our bodies and every 3 years we have to throw out all out stuff and replace the millenial grey that everyone had to have and replace it with 50s pop colours, then in 2 years time chuck it all out again and switch to navy & mustard... our grandparents had furniture & carpets & curtains that lasted as long as the house. As a child we would buy fruit in paper bags, drinks in glass bottles we would return to the shop for a penny, get the cheap, convenient, safe buses everywhere, and clothes would last us decades. Everything is cheap and disposable and designed to need replacing quickly, but it's financially out of reach for most people to buy anything quality that will last, capitalism is killing us. Not much is as good as it was 40+ years ago, and this disposable consumerist culture is definitely one thing that is dramatically worse.

Car, heating, Christmas shopping

2025-12-02 06:52:19 UTC

My car is a powerful 14 year old 4x4 diesel which is currently having a hissy fit like it's owner and is spewing out smoke like a 1950s grandma but simply fixing or replacing it when I'm barely making ends meet is not as simple as the powers that be make it sound. Do they think I wouldn't love a new vehicle that isn't dragging it's rotting carcass to work every day, again like its owner? Are they going to give me the £20k+ it would cost? Oooh £3k grant?? What planet are they on? Punishing me more with higher costs & taxes doesn't make me more able to afford a newer car, if anything it makes me less able to do anything green as everything green costs twice as much.

It has been so cold the heating has been on almost constantly while we've been in the house. I am in a mid terrace 1950s house which should be fairly warm, I had loft insulation installed 3 years ago. Now we swelter in summer and have bought 5 extra fans and air conditioners but doesn't seem to help at all in the winter, cavity wall insulation which again we've not noticed any difference with, stupid solar panels which are utterly pointless & ugly & a total waste of money, just massive ugly plastic pigeon magnets all over my roof, I had my 80s aluminium frame single glazed windows replaced with UPVC double glazed and the builder was a total cowboy, they now make the house DRAMATICALLY colder than the old ones were but the courts are 🤬 & there's no come back on them at all, I got a wood burner but it's some new eco nonsense that does literally nothing to heat the room never mind the house. Why did it cost me twice as much to buy than my old non eco thing, but rips through wood like it's cotton wool and doesn't even heat the room we are in whereas the old one would heat the whole house with just one log that lasted hours?? How is this a better option? I used to live in a single glazed rickety old 17th century cottage with no insulation or modern regulatory nonsense, and it was cool in the summer & toasty in the winter, my energy bill a fraction of what it is now, why are we constantly fussing with things yet making things worse all the time?

Christmas shopping - the amount of 🤬 I have bought for the kids & family, Amazon vans turning up multiple times per day, massive boxes for a tiny face cream or computer game... but I'm not paying £12 to park in town, fight through the crowds and pay 3 times as much in a local shop or market, when I barely have the time to eat, or wash, or have a conversation with my family most days. As a single mother with no village I am already doing 3 full time jobs with my mental and physical health barely hanging by a thread. I will always take the cheaper, easiest option, and that means Amazon, not the local artisan market.

Buy better, reduce energy use, reduce waste & pollution

2025-12-02 07:06:49 UTC

If I had money & time, I could buy a better car that doesn't billow smoke, I could buy thick curtains and carpets, get my windows and doors re-replaced for the second time, replace my furniture so it fits the rooms without covering the radiators, or replace the radiators with alternatives that don't all sit in the only places where furniture can fit and turn the heating down, I could shop in farmers markets & local suppliers, not the cheapest supermarkets with the most convenient delivery options selling rotting fruit wrapped in plastic, and evil Amazon & Temu. But I don't have the money and I definitely don't have the time. Maybe if I wasn't paying £30 for a loaf of friggin bread and sitting in traffic for 2 hours a day to travel 8 miles I would have but you know, lets add another bottle neck, widen that pavement & lose another lane, add some more lights there and another badly designed junction we can all sit at for another 25 minutes twice per day, and add yet another tax on drivers & workers as if we have any choices at all any more, that helps. I hate this place.

I think the three urgent issues that need to be addressed are waste management, and especially how large companies handle non-biodigradable waste and plastic in the ocean. The excessiveness of cars in society, how much fuel these use and how environments are now paved with concrete to accomodate cars everywhere. And the hunting and harvesting of endangered wildlife which can threaten the food chain

2025-12-17 13:52:24 UTC

Heating, Packaging, Food Wastage

2025-12-17 13:54:26 UTC

Like many I take great advantage of heating this time of year even when a simple jumper would suffice. Christmas season means a great deal of packaging and plastic around all manner of gifts and cards which will envitably go to waste. And lastly I leave a great deal of food wastage on a monthly basis, when I purchase food but don't eat it before it goes off or when I cook a plate with more food than I can eat.

Shop better, travel by foot, turn off electronics

2025-12-17 13:57:33 UTC

If I am smarter about my food shopping I can ensure no food bought goes to waste and I end up buying less and saving more. Rather rely on friends to drive me places I can walk part of the way or all the way to save on fuel. And turn off electronics when I leave the house rather than leave devices like PCs and chargers still plugged in.

Education, Transportation, Policies

2025-12-18 17:36:50 UTC

Education

I would say start from how to recycle. I am surprised that very few people know that we need to clean stuffs before recycling, 0/6 of my flatmates know that. Incorporating edcation about causes and solutions of climate change, because we don't have much time.

Transportation

Stop electric vehicles. Batteries are just as bad. Switch to public transport, go back to walk or cycle, while developing actually sustainable fuel.

Policies

I think this makes the most impacts. But government doesn't want to do it. Punishments hit the most, but everyone want to produce and make money. But I would say the very least thing they could do is ban all plastic wraps/bags and ultensils immediately.

3 unsustainable things last week

2025-12-18 17:42:16 UTC

Amazon orders for 6-month stocking
Not turning off heating while I am away
Bought pre-cooked meals because they are reduced

I tend to make an excuse because things I do that are not sustainable are somehow sustainable (?), except for the heating one.

Individual Actions

2025-12-18 17:47:02 UTC

Plant-based diet

I have changed to 80% plant-based meals for 2 years.

Walk when I can

I tried to minimise my carbon emissions, walk -> public transport -> cars/ motorbikes

Shop less

I barely shop in a year. I only buy food. For clothing, I didn't buy any last year, this year I bought 2 winter jackets. When I shop, always shop for out-of-season/second-hand/ thrifted.

Waste disposal, consumer habits and transportation

2026-01-07 12:23:09 UTC

Waste disposal
While the allocation of separate bins for disposing of different types of waste is highly useful, people need to be educated more on why this separation is necessary, how best they can recycle as well as how to avoid littering. When the impact of throwing rubbish into water bodies, on lawns, or pavements, is better understood, these instances can be reduced. Laboratories are strict on the methods of discarding waste. This should also apply to cosmetic products, art supplies, and detergents.
Consumer habits
In the wake of overconsumption, there is need for communities to be educated more on spending responsibly, as well as repurposing what they do not need. This could be through increased implementation of initiatives such as charity shops, clothes swaps and thrift stores as well as encouraging people to mend clothing and furniture more.
Transportation
Increases in emissions from motor vehicles and flights are reflective of bigger problems, such as unreliability of public transport systems or deficits in the transport network that leave people with limited choices when commuting. These problems need to be solved on a larger scale, to create more sustainable transport options. Families and individuals purchasing vehicles that align with their needs can help to reduce emissions. An example of this is a family of three owning more than two sports utility vehicles. The number and size of the vehicles owned can be reduced. Consumerism also contributes to the number of cars on roads increasing, as they are also a status symbol. Alternating between public transport, walking and a personal vehicle is also a good strategy.

3 unsustainable things I did last week

2026-01-07 12:41:31 UTC

Keeping the lights on when not in the room and during the day. Sometimes, I am tempted to think that I will only be out for a few minutes, or it does not occur to me that I could simply make use of the daylight, but the cumulative effect of this waste has to be acknowledged.
Wasting food, instead of using it within the time it was fresh. This also results from meal planning based more on convenience than making the best use of what is available.
Leaving plugs switched on when not in use.

3 actions to tackle negative effects of climate change

2026-01-07 12:43:51 UTC

1. Shopping from charity shops or thrift stores.

Not buying food that I will not be able to eat while fresh.
Switching off lights and sockets when not in use.

My 3 things...

2026-01-20 17:14:24 UTC

1) I returned from a student recruitment trip to the USA. Obviously air travel is not a sustainable way to travel however the conflicts are that it is the most effective way to connect with potential applicants as these days the younger generation de-sensitised to online or screen presence.

2) I had to buy a plastic bag-for-life in the supermarket as I forgot to put one in my car - this has now been remedied as I now have a bag on me at all times

3) I am still commuting by car - it is still the cheapest way to get to and from work I'm afraid - and by quite a lot; £80 for 5 days of train travel vs about £40 in fuel.

Affordable renewable energy, waste disposal and environment protection

2026-01-20 17:19:57 UTC

Renewable energy that is globally accessible to all walks of life.
Waste disposal systems that are genuinely effective and that are carefully followed by everyone. This really should encompass a change in packaging from companies especially the likes of Amazon.
Environmental protection - as the video states, we are nothing if our environment collapses.

Changes to diet, more careful use of electricity at home and try to reduce packaging/waste products

2026-01-20 17:24:21 UTC

I will make an effort to eat less meat and challenge myself to discover more plant based recipes
I will monitor lights and energy usage at home - as actually I am more aware of at work!
Consciously buy products with less packaging or buy refills more

2026-01-20 17:29:50 UTC

Biodiversity loss, renewable energy and generation of long-lasting waste products as a result of consumerism.

2026-01-20 17:30:45 UTC

Food waste, buying goods, car use.

2026-01-20 17:31:51 UTC

More meal planning to reduce food waste, stop buying unnecessary items, limit use of AI (in work context).

2026-02-19 18:31:37 UTC

Greater regulations on emissions from industries, as well as A.I emissions as it is the next greatest threat to human sustainability on Earth.
