The aim of this post is to recreate the awareness about global warming and also to suggest little efforts that can end this danger.
We shouldn’t wait until the day that is marked to celebrate the ‘World environment day’ before we play our little roles.
Creating a global awareness is no doubt one of the best roles we can play to put an end to this danger, and Steemit – the social media platform of the century, is sure the best platform to create this awareness.
In my own little role as an educator, I’ve been able to support 'Power Forward' – a program sponsored by Exxon Mobil, Africare, and NBA, to create awareness to young lads.
The lesson I learned from this experience is that massive awareness and little efforts - such as supporting trees planting can go a long way in solving this global problem. If we make daily global efforts to tackle global warming, we will be creating a better future for our next generation, unless we don't care about them.
WHAT'S YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS GLOBAL WARMING?
It’s not my business… it’s that of the government…
That’s the attitude a lot of people show towards this imminent danger.
I tell you today if you think this issue does not fall among your ‘areas of concern,’ you better think again.
Take a look at these pictures
These and more are already happening, and more disasters will follow if we don't make individual and global efforts.
‘There is a 93 percent chance that global warming will exceed 4C by the end of this century,’ lead scientist says
