[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496041375353","data":"Climate change. It's worse than we imagined it would be. The effects of climate change can have a disastrous impact on our planet Earth. High temperatures, loss of wildlife species, increase in sea level, changes in rainfall patterns, heat waves, stronger storms, wildfires and shrinking of arctic ice are few of the dangerous effects of climate change. <\/p>In support of that, let me paint you a gruesome picture: around 30,000 fish were found dead in the Rampally Lake in Hyderabad. Last week, some 40,000 fish were found dead in the Shamirpet Lake. Experts blame the increasing temperatures and pollutants in the water bodies as the cause of death. <\/p>Are we still going to ignore this problem as if it isn't real? I implore you not to. Here are five little things you can do to help save our planet.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496045375162","data":"592bd791a3cba"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496044312490","data":"1.\tUse Reusable Bags <\/b><\/p>\nPlastic grocery-type bags that get thrown out end up in lakes and landfills or in other parts of the environment. These can clog sewage pipes and drainage canals and ultimately pollute the water bodies into which sewage water is pumped into. Also, it takes a while for the bags to decompose.\nWhether you are shopping for food, clothes or books, use a reusable bag. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496045485441","data":"592bd7ffec3ba"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496044642427","data":"2.\tRecycle.<\/b> <\/p>\nRecycling is such a simple thing to do, but so many people don\u2019t do it. Look for recycling cans near trashcans. Instead of throwing recyclables in the trash with your non-recyclables, make a point to take an extra step to locate recycling cans around your campus. Always separate biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496045422296","data":"592bd7f32a86e"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496044859722","data":"3.\tSave Electricity!<\/b> <\/p>\nUse energy-efficient light bulbs instead of regular bulbs. They last longer, which will save you a bit of money too.\nMake sure you turn off lights, the TV, and other appliances when you are not using them.\n\nLower your air conditioning or when it is not necessary. I know this is hard to do with the excruciating heat this summer, but it is necessary.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496045695138","data":"592bd8d06a1c7"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496045050484","data":"4.\tSave Water.<\/b> <\/p>\nWater is wasted more frequently than we can see. Turn off the faucet as you are brushing your teeth. Don\u2019t turn your shower on until you\u2019re ready to get in and wash your hair. Limit your water usage as you wash dishes. Changing old habits will be extremely good for the environment. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496045730331","data":"592bd8f76df9d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496045104631","data":"5. Walk or cycle.<\/b><\/p>Driving is one of the biggest causes of pollution. If you want to use your car, ask yourself the following question: do I really need my car? Walk or use your bicycle if the journey is a short one.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496045892382","data":"592bd9966cbbf"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496045901455","data":"It's high time each and every one of us took action. It's our planet, and it's our responsibility to take care of it. We've damaged it enough. Climate change is reversible, we just need enough motivated people doing the right thing. <\/p>"}]
