A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases you generate in your daily actions. The Nature Conservancy state that “to have the best chance of avoiding a 2℃ rise in global temperatures, the average global carbon footprint per year needs to drop to under 2 tons by 2050”. Simple daily actions increase your carbon footprint, such as, using cars, cooling systems, consumption of meat, etc. Changing your habits will help save our glaciers.

Plastic Oceans International state that “50% of all plastic produced (380 million tons per year) is for single-use purposes – used for just minutes and then thrown away”. So let’s wash 1-time plastic bags and use them several times. Who said it’s a 1-time plastic?

Water is an essential element which all living organisms need in order to survive. Malta’s climate is hot, with dry summers and low levels of rainfall. In fact, throughout the years Malta has seen an increase in temperatures and a decrease in rainfall. The growth in the Maltese population, tourism, as well as global warming are putting the water supply under strain. The water table also has a limited supply of water, which needs time to replenish. Climate change does not only impact human health but also disrupts agriculture and affects food availability as well as its quality. Higher temperatures will increase drought, thus resulting in a higher demand for water. Have you ever stopped to wonder how climate change is affecting the economy, the increase in food prices and the water table? Are you contributing towards the conservation of water?
