The campaign to reduce global warming has continued until now because “global warming” has not ended and has a tendency to increase. Recently, many environmental news agencies have come out to warn about “global warming”. Therefore, the people of the world must cooperate to solve the problem before the world enters a full-scale global warming. However, in daily life when we have to go to work, we are in a hurry, which may cause us to forget to think about reducing global warming.
Why reduce global warming?
Nowadays, everyone can feel that the weather is getting hotter every year, which is a result of severe climate change or global warming. The impact that will follow if global warming is beyond control is health impacts such as heatstroke and disasters such as forest fires.
What is global warming?
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the earth caused by the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This causes the earth to have a higher temperature and changes the climate around the world. The cause of the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere in large quantities is mainly due to humans increasing the amount of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels, emissions from various industries, and transportation. In addition, forests that can absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere have been destroyed in large numbers over the years. This makes it easier for sunlight to pass through the atmosphere to the earth’s surface, resulting in the “greenhouse effect” that we know.
What is Global Boiling?
Global Boiling is a situation where the Earth’s climate changes drastically, caused by human activities. In the past 20 years, our world has experienced extreme climate change, such as unprecedented hot weather. Global boiling has various impacts, such as the environment, health, and society.
Therefore, everyone in the world must work together to solve the problem of global warming and global boiling. The solutions can be done in everyday life. Even in an office environment, global warming can be reduced. The following 5 methods are 5 easy methods that can be done in the office. These 5 methods are very popular with office workers.
Ways to reduce global warming and global warming for office workers
1. Save paper, focus on reuse
Office workers will see that a lot of paper is used per day. Using a lot of paper means that the number of trees cut down to make paper will also increase. If trees are cut down, the help in utilizing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will also disappear. Global warming will become more severe. Therefore, paper should be used only when necessary. If paper must be used, reusable paper should be used instead.
2. Reduce plastic use
Everyone may have seen campaigns to reduce plastic use everywhere. Reducing plastic can truly reduce global warming and reduce waste. Office workers can reduce plastic use by using water bottles instead of plastic cups, using news boxes or food containers instead of single-use plastic lunch boxes, and using cloth bags instead of plastic bags.
3. Reduce energy use
The wasteful or excessive use of energy is a major factor in causing global warming. Everyone may have noticed signs or stickers campaigning to save water and electricity in various places, or even in the office. If we can reduce our energy use, we can reduce global warming as well. Therefore, if there is a light in the office that is not in use, it should be turned off. Or if using water, turn off the water tightly after use to reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
4. Use a private car when necessary.
When traveling to work or going to various places, if you do not need to use a private car, using public transportation is a good choice to reduce the problem of global warming. Because using a car will produce a large amount of greenhouse gases, which is a major cause of global warming. If you use public transportation, greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles will be reduced. And you can also save on fuel costs.
5. Use the elevator when necessary.
If the office or workplace has an elevator, if it is not necessary, you should turn to using the stairs instead of the elevator.
If you only go up to the 2nd or 3rd floor, using the stairs can help reduce global warming a lot. Because using the elevator once requires a lot of electricity. Using the stairs not only helps reduce global warming, but also helps improve our health.
How do you feel about these 5 ways to reduce global warming for office workers? They are easy to do and can be done anytime. The 5 recommended methods can also be done by people who do not work in the office. If everyone works together, we will definitely get through this global warming crisis.
