Climate change Climate change due to enviornmental crisis poses serious health risks for all countries in our region. We will see increased rates of heat stress, while extreme weather events will lead to displaced pollutions and a rise in diseases spread through water and food changes in rainfall patterns, drought and rising sea level will causes food insecurity and malnutrition, vector - borne diseases like malaria and dengue, will increase in the areas of flooding, due to more breeding sites for insects, people's mental health will be affected both as a direct result of trauma related to extreme weather events and indirectly through socialeconomicand environmental disruptions. This is the serious issue now faced by the world. Thanks Amazon forestsgive us as much as 20% of the oxygen. But these forests are being cleared so rapidly that a forest area equal to 20 football fields gets cleared every minute. If these keeps happening, scientists feel that in less than 100 years of all these forests will get destroyed. Now we can find the ideas of curing these problems.The most severe problem facing by us is water pollution.To flush out 150 ltrs of excreta, we need 250 ltrs of water per house in a year. So people who are living in rural areas could not get water sometimes. So for that we can use eco sanitation which is eco friendly. Then the other problem faced by us is the plastic pollution, in remedy for that we can use paper straws and menstrual cups which reduces our environmental pollution. In foreign countries we can see they observe care free day that means 1 week in every year they use public transportation, like that why can't we practice here. Our country is still back and lagging in that case of waste management. So its the responsibility of every citizens to reduce their carbon footprint that they live in their environment. As a school student we contribute a part of plastic pollution by leaving the empty refills and low cost plastic pens. So for reducing it the government should take necessary step like writing public examsby using ink pen, this should be concerned as to be mandatory, if they use it at least for one time then it will be a part of our continuous life. So seven million people, seven million dreams one earth. So be the change , you are in what you do not in what you say . Let us conclude with the words of Mahatma Gandhi " If you want to see the change in the world, be the change." ശ്യാം ശങ്കർ 9 S സെന്റ് മേരീസ് ഹയർ സെക്കന്ററി സ്കൂൾ, പട്ടം തിരുവനന്തപുരം നോർത്ത് ഉപജില്ല തിരുവനന്തപുരം അക്ഷരവൃക്ഷം പദ്ധതി, 2020 ലേഖനം
