The climate of the earth is always changing but most experts believe that the current rate of global warming is being caused by human behaviour. Extra greenhouse gases emitted by industry, transportation and our very own homes are thought to pose the strongest threat to the world. We all need to play our part in preserving our planet and minimising the potentially devastating effects of climate change.
In the UK, around twenty-eight per cent of all carbon dioxide emissions
released into the atmosphere come from the energy used to run our
homes. Every household in the UK creates around six tonnes of carbon
dioxide every year.
In fact, the average home is responsible for more harmful carbon dioxide emissions than the average car produces every year. Alternative energy sources, including solar power, help to slow down global warming and the time to act is now.
