Topic: Climate Change
Introduction:
According to NASA, climate change is a long-term change in the average weather
patterns that have come to define Earth’s local, regional, and global climates. (2024)
These changes are mainly contributed by the emissions of CO2 gases into our
atmosphere by burning fossil fuels led by humans themselves. And now we are facing
the consequences of our own actions. The effects of climate change on our planet have
already begun. Increased temperatures, differences in the seasons of plants, rivers, and
lake ice are already thawing, and animal geographic ranges are shifting. Glaciers and ice
sheets are slowly melting, river and lake ice is breaking up earlier, plant and animal
geographic ranges are shifting, and plants and trees are blooming sooner. NASA also
predicted that we will soon have more powerful heat waves, sea ice loss, and a rise in
the sea level of the planet.
NASA also presented two ways to approach climate change. Mitigation and
adaptation. Mitigation is the act of reducing the CO2 gases being emitted into our
atmosphere. We can do this by avoiding using fossil fuels for electricity and transport.
We can also lessen the effect of climate change on us by bringing focus and attention to
the “sinks” that help us handle these gases. These “sinks” include our oceans, soil, and
forests. The second thing that we can do is adaptation. Humans have adapted to
different living situations before, and climate change is without a doubt a big change
not only to our planet, Earth, but to all the living creatures that are thriving here. While
also trying to save the planet, we can take advantage of some of the effects of climate
change, such as the increased yields in some regions and longer crop seasons.
Purpose:
The aim of this campaign is for me, as a student, to raise awareness about the
causes of climate change and its effects not only to our environment but also to the
health of every living thing on this planet using different platforms online so that I can
reach a lot of people and provide adequate information about climate change that may
spark a spark in people’s hearts to do something and lead the way to a world with a
healthy environment where its people are thriving and safely coexisting with other
creatures.
Description:
This campaign will use a Change.org petition for an action about climate change
and will also use a Facebook page, Instagram page, TikTok page, and YouTube channel.
On the Facebook and Instagram pages, there will be infographics about climate change
and ways one person can help put a stop to climate change. In the TikTok and YouTube
pages, there will be posted videos about the causes and effects of climate change, and
additionally, ways on how someone can help with this campaign. Throughout all social
media accounts, the campaign will use the hashtags #NoToClimateChange and
#ActNOW so that other people can also provide help in sending information
throughout the globe.
Support:
There will be no expenses for the social media sites used since they are all free.
However, there may be some expenses when it comes to our food when I am handling
the different pages and sites.
