Did you know that inhaling air pollution takes away at least 1-2 years of a typical human life?
Did u know that home electronics consume energy even when switched off!? Approximately, 75% of electricity used to power home electronics is consumed while the products are off. Televisions consume a lot of energy when turned off which is used in the instant working of the T.V so we don’t have to wait for a minute or two for it to start soon as we switch it on. To help save the energy, keep the appliances unplugged when not in use.
LEDs are very energy efficient and cheap too. Lights in our homes and offices should be replaced with LEDs to conserve energy. You can also switch the electricity provider for the one with renewable energy source.
Did u know that it is estimated that within 100 years there will be no rainforests? The rate of deforestation equals to loss of 20 football fields every minute. The world has already lost 80% of its forests and we’re continually losing them at a rate of 375 km2 per day!
Did u know that animal agriculture is one of the leading causes of climate change? By leaving animals off your plate, you instantly cut your carbon emissions in half! Also the agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation.
There’s plenty of fish in the sea! This is a favourite expression which means that there’s an abundance of supply. But the truth is different now. If we don’t do something about it, by 2048, there will be no more seafood in our oceans. That’s a very grim prediction… and it’s not very far away.
Did you know that we are using up 50% more natural resources than the Earth can provide? At our current population, we need 1.5 Earths, which we do not have.

Road development, forest destruction, farming, urban sprawl, and the growth of hydropower dams, mines and oil wells all have impacts on our natural world. These developments may be necessary for economic growth reasons, but if they’re poorly planned or managed they can cause serious environmental harm.
Did you know that airplanes could generate 43 gigatonnes of planet-warming pollution through 2050, consuming almost 5 percent of the world's remaining carbon budget, according to a Center report? Aircraft emit staggering amounts of CO2, the most prevalent manmade greenhouse gas.
Did u know that the best ways to reduce air pollution are by walking and riding bicycle?
