Climate change: You can make difference

Climate change is one of the most important issues facing us today. Therefore we need to change and we means everybody as individuals like a most powerful weapon in this battle.
Because of what we do and buy, carbon footprint refers to the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere.Major problems and issues including food production and greenhouse gas;
· Abundant gases e.g. Methane CH₄
· Carbon dioxide CO₂ is the most dominant greenhouse gases
· Nitrous oxide N₂O produces bacteria breakdown nitrogen compounds and soils in the oceans
· Animals e.g. cows and sheep
· Carbon dioxide CO₂ refers to the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere
· Increase use of fossil fuels increase warmth of our planet
· Nitrous oxide N₂O added to the atmosphere, bring significant effects on climate change
· 40% of food wasted
· Putting Mother Nature into a new territory at a rate that she never seen before
· Animals like sheep and cows also produce methane
· Landfills, farming, constructions
· Increase of carbon footprint due to increasing the cars and factories
· Main component from natural gas and greenhouse gas including Carbon dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4) and Nitrous oxide (N2O)
· CO2 comes as heating the home, drive the car; CH4 comes planting food products, landfill and animal products
What can we do: Cut short or less? 
Reduce heated products such as food and transportation as plane, ship, car
Consume the food waste
Plant a garden
Buy from local shops
Eat leftovers
Utilize natural parks
Reduce fuel consumption
Making benefit of physical acts such as walking and bicycling
Save money by using celling fans, rugs etc.
Use hydroelectricity for heating home
Need to control the carbon footprints from the waste of the green houses gases released
Use natural air
Which how much contributing to the warming effects;
Carbon dioxide 63%
Methane 18%
Nitrous oxide 7%
Other; Synthetic gases 12%
How it can be done?
CO2 is the most dominant gas as heating the home and driving the car; CH4 planting food products, landfill and animal as sheep and cow; N2O known as bacteria break down as nitrogen compounds in the soil in the oceans
The calculation of the carbon footprints: impact of transporting from the factory
40% of the food is wasted
