This @upmewhale contest on "Climate Change" reminded me of my high school days when I went to the Biology Lab; in that subject they would ask questions, like the ones suggested in the main post, to be answered in the notebook.

Climate change is nothing new, all life has been changes in the climate, except that it was natural but over time, technological advances and industry as a human activity have generated variations in the climate.

Climate change is a reality, these days I was talking to a friend about how even insects are disappearing, today you don't see the beautiful blue butterflies, for example. In my state there were beautiful hills decorated with Araguaneyes and there are no longer any. These changes are happening very quickly affecting the whole environment.

Among the consequences of this phenomenon are sudden changes in the climate, the melting of the poles, the lengthening of periods of drought, intense heat waves and other very cold ones, the decrease of hydrographic flows, forest fires and the events of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, destruction of the ozone layer, etc.

If I go on a smaller scale, my community, to mention one thing, had leafy trees in the plaza that were in the middle of the four buildings that were torn down because of the insecurity around them. The criminals were hiding in the shade of these plants. The consequences? Well, bird's nests were lost and I'm sure that's why it's hot too. Before those trees were cut down it was a very cool area.

We are all responsible for the occurrence of these phenomena, of course, I consider that the greatest obligation falls on industry and politicians but this does not mean that as environmentally conscious citizens we cannot contribute and exercise some ideas to mitigate this decline a little. Although I believe that these contributions are like Steem, very little but something is something even a little, otherwise we will continue to have these progressive alterations.

The responsibility belongs to everyone and therefore the commitment belongs to everyone. There was a time when the "three Rs" - recycling, reuse and reduction - were promoted and given importance. I could mention other contributions such as saving electricity and water; planting fruit, ornamental and medicinal trees.

At this point, I would like to emphasize the rule of the three R's. Reduce the consumption of solid waste; for example, use cloth bags for shopping. Reuse waste that can have another use, such as plastic packaging or any other object that can be transformed into something useful. Recycling means collecting non-biodegradable materials for industrial use, such as certain types of plastic, glass, paper, cardboard, aluminium and copper.

There are things in the house that we need to put to another use or fix to keep using it. For example the mirror of the image, it had a broken frame and I reused it to make a craft.

As we are all civil protection, the protection of the environment is everyone's responsibility to minimize the environmental impact.
