Our Impact
These type of lights are best for the environment.
LEDS
Producing these types of goods produce lots of emissions from burning fossil fuels.
Manufactured
Methane
Due to climate change this is more frequent and intense.
Storms
Long term change in average weather conditions.
Climate Change
Gas/breaks
Acids in fertilizers, treating animal waste, and sewage treatment is all an example of this greenhouse gas.
Nitrous oxide
Provide an example of how ecosystems have changed due to climate change.
Length of growing seasons, timing of flower blooms, migration of birds/other animals
The gradual increase of temperatures over the years is called this.
Global Warming
In the winter it is advised that you keep your thermostat at this.
68-70 degrees
Production of food is harmful to the environment in these ways.
Clearing land for agriculture, digestion of cows, fertilizers, farm equipment.
Transportation, energy, and deforestation are all sources of this greenhouse gas.
Carbon Dioxide
The ocean absorbs 30% of carbon emissions, making the water...
Acidic
Energy taken from natural sources is called this.
Renewable energy
A four minute shower uses about this amount of water.
20-40 gallons
Most electricity is generated by burning these.
Coal, oil, gas
Sun reflected from the earth gets trapped in the atmosphere due to greenhouse gases, instead of being reflected back into space.
1.8 degrees
The purpose of this agreement among countries was to reduce warming to 1.5 degrees.
At least below 2, ideally 1.5
The calculated calendar date when humanity's resource consumption for the year exceeds Earth's capacity to regenerate those resources is known as this.
Earth overshoot day.
Humans are responsible for this percentage of emissions.
100%
Once emissions are stuck in the atmosphere, it takes about this long for them to be removed.
100s of years.
Glaciers have retreated by this much since 1970.

These are the 4 R's that will better your impact on the environment.
