Better Environment, Better Tomorrow

Celine ELJALBERT

For the past few years, we have been facing global warming. If the climate changes, some areas will suffer catastrophic damage. Depending on where you go in the world, there will be rising waters, droughts, repeated floods, severe storms… These cataclysms will either drive people away or decimate them. People will have to move or change their way of life. Conflicts will erupt to be able to live in the spared areas. Flora and fauna will evolve or disappear as the climate changes. Some plants will no longer be adapted. Local agriculture will be affected. Pests will spread to new areas, spreading diseases to humans, plants, and animals. We are already beginning to see that the Earth's global temperature is rising. And this change is extremely rapid. Nature will not have time to adapt. The current balance will be upset. We must therefore limit our impact on the climate by reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, our atmospheric emissions accentuate the natural greenhouse effect, which contributes to heating our planet. To do this, we must ensure that we limit our energy consumption. We need to think about our future generation, it is time to change now. Ensuring that the climate does not deteriorate means preserving the Earth's fragile balance and thus the future of humanity.
