Be inclusive

Are we all going to be toast or well, roasted like Khakras?

Climate Change is arguably the greatest issue faced by mankind We live in an unbalanced world. One thing is clear everything is interconnected. Climate change, food, water, waste, and natural disasters

For my PYPX journey, I chose this topic because I wanted to find out what climate change is about and how humans can survive this catastrophe

Climate change affects all of us in different ways From plummeting and rising temperatures to unpredictable weather patterns, complicated health issues and it also threatens food security and livelihoods Let's face it, the planet will adapt We, the human species may not be so lucky Ignoring these problems may just show that our empathy levels are slowly eroding away, being washed away by rising sea levels and melting away in this ferocious heat

After a lot of research, I found that humans will only survive climate change in two ways:

1) Mitigate climate change

2) Adapt to climate change

Adapting to climate change is a long process while mitigating climate change can be done in our daily lifestyle by reducing our waste and reducing our carbon footprint

We are such an integral part of that awesome thing called nature There is an entire ecosystem and it will be hard to see our earth without the wonders of trees, birds, flowers insects, fruits, etc Let's spend more time outdoors, admire the mysteries, and conserve and protect what we see and love.
