When kids and adults better understand how Climate Change will affect them personally, when they “Think Global and Think Local”, then they will take actions to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, and they will prepare for the effects of Climate Change.
At My Own Climate Change, we help kids and adults better understand how Climate Change will affect them personally and educate about the actions they can take to prevent it and mitigate its damage.
Climate Change isn’t just somebody else’s problem, it’s ours too. Everyone thinks Climate Change is a global problem, something that terrible is happening somewhere elsewhere on the planet. But it’s really a local problem increasingly impacting our neighborhoods, cities, counties, states, countries, and the world.
At My Own Climate Change, we believe it would make a difference if more people thought about what Climate Change will do to: their animals and plants in their backyard; their water and energy bills; their grocery store produce; their insurance; their personal safety from storms or population displacement – to their community.
If people understand what Climate Change will do to them personally, if they “Think Global and Think Local”, then they will be willing to take actions to reduce non-renewable energy use and greenhouse gasses, and also find ways to reduce the effects of Climate Change.
