Warm in Winter: Why Climate Change Needs Your Attention

Seasons change. This change used to be constant. As soon as temperatures drop, you know it’s autumn season, and you can wear your warmest outfits. In time for Halloween, this makes for the most interesting wardrobe choices. Come winter months, you know it’s time to bundle up.

But what do “winter months” and “autumn chill” mean when it’s warmer than you think? There is something wrong with the planet, and it’s time for you to acknowledge it and, more importantly, do something about it.

Does Climate Change Affect You?

Climate change affects everyone. If you’re wondering what is the difference between climate change and global warming, the first thing you have to know is that global warming can be felt wherever you are, which means this is a problem that cannot be separated from you. Considering this, it’s important to also know that climate change, a broader term that includes global warming as one of its side effects, is not an impossible problem to solve.

What You Can Do About Climate Change

Plenty of changes need to be done to reverse the effects of climate change. These changes would have a better impact when done on a societal level, rather than on an individual level. This means aside from you doing your share, it’s also important that you rally the big corporations to care about our future.

Where to Start

Doing your part in reducing your carbon footprint can already be a big step in reversing global warming. Instead of always buying new, consider refurbished items or switch to greener habits. This is not to be confused with greenwashing, so always make sure the company you support is actually doing good for the planet instead of just promising they will.

Next time you feel warm in winter, let that change propel you into action. It’s time to act to save our planet, and you have a part to play.
