During Covid-19 lock down restrictions I returned to my much
neglected Blog becoming even more
minimalist I have ever been!! Observing the
immediate effects to our planet’s climate and air pollution due to the
restricted movement and travel of people during pandemic.
While this is a scary time for many of us, it is also a
chance to reflect on how we want to positively move forward once the pandemic
is over. What can we learn? It is time to act!
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to humanity. Some of the consequences of climate changes are higher
average temperatures, rising sea levels, Crop damage by drought and unusual
phenomena such as strong storms, extreme fires, and more natural disasters.
Representing reduce in crop production and food security, among others.
This is a well known global problem; we can all do our bit,
even from our own home. Remember to adopt energy efficiency measures when
possible, as they are essential to reduce our impact.
