New Year, New Earth: 2025,ย Call to Actionย
Since 2010, I've been appealing to people about the urgent need to address climate change. Droughts, heat waves, and storms are the best-known effects of this global crisis.
But it's not what we know that should worry us most โ it's what we don't know. We are only beginning to grasp the full extent of warming's impact on permafrost, ice sheets, and ocean currents.
Extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and the loss of biodiversity are already devastating communities around the world. We are witnessing the consequences of our inaction in real-time.
This underscores the critical need for immediate and decisive action to mitigate climate change and safeguard our planet.ย
Remember, each small change in daily habits can have a big impact on the environment. Each time you/we choose a sustainable product, you/we contribute to the reduction of waste and to the conservation of natural resources, inspiring those arround us and creating a positive ripple effect.
The Effects of Overpopulation
Rapid population growth exerts significant pressure on our planet's resources and ecosystems.
Increased Resource Consumption: A larger population naturally leads to increased demand for food, water, energy, and other resources. This heightened consumption can strain ecosystems, leading to deforestation, water scarcity, and pollution.
Environmental Degradation: The extraction and use of resources to support a growing population often come at a significant environmental cost. This includes habitat destruction, biodiversity loss, and climate change.
Social and Economic Strain: Overpopulated areas can experience increased pressure on infrastructure, housing, and social services. This can lead to overcrowding, poverty, and social unrest.
Increased Risk of Conflict: Competition for scarce resources, such as water and land, can exacerbate existing tensions and increase the risk of conflict within and between communities.
If Nature isn't kept healthy, humans won't survive. Simple as that and let's face'it, nature is already scruded. The question is whether it is possible for us to have a future.ย
Nature does not make mistakes. Nature don't need our protetion just our absence.
