Climate change will affect us all. We need to act now to lower our carbon emissions and be prepared for the impact on our communities and local environment. There are a number of ways to tackle climate change; for example we can look at the amount of energy we use in our daily lives, and choose ways to reduce our own energy use and we can act together in our communities to work out a solution that suits a local area. | ||
