Climate Change

   An extremely important issue that's been going around is climate change and its big, scary potential. Climate change is defined as a change in global or regional climate patterns. One of the biggest impacts on the atmosphere is the burning of fossil fuels such as oil and coal which generate energy. This results in a release of 70% more carbon dioxide than gas. This generation of heat is causing more greenhouse gases. The more of these gases... the warmer the planet gets. Humans and the wild life are facing new challenges throughout this climate change as it gets worse and worse. Melting glaciers and rising sea level are harming animals and the areas where they live in.
   Climate change campaigns are bringing awareness to the public through the social media world. Articles  from the New York Times are introducing the issue and are stating the negative impact this issue can have in the future. This a great way for this important topic to be spread around and is able to reach many people. In the media, these articles are being looked as a big warning sign and many people are taking action based on the information given. Even though these articles on climate change is not changing every viewer's actions and decisions for the benefit of the planet, it has made a lot of people be aware. It is giving motivation to the viewers to take care of this planet by simply stating the consequences and showing ways to prevent these problems. Moreover, Unilever is another example climate change is represented in the media. Unilever is a company that is main focus is to serve the environment and protect it. It's main goal is to become carbon positive by 2030. It will eliminate the use of fossil fuels and use renewable energy in the environment. Also, they want to eliminate single use plastic packaging.
   I feel these representation characteristics are great ways of helping with the environment. Companies like Unilever and news about climate change are great ways to motivate people to change their way of living in some ways to help the environment and in some ways actually care about it after acknowledging the consequences. From this type of media, I will retain a thoughtful characteristic and really think through the terrible environment that our world is developing. I'd challenge myself, as well as many people like friends and families, to take actions and treat the planet the way it should be treated. One way of doing this is by not littering nor using the car as necessary and use bike in any possible situation.
