“IT’S ONLY ONE STRAW!” -Said 8 billion people 🚯

Plastic straws have emerged as a deadly threat to marine life. It is already estimated that more than 500 million plastic straws are used each day all over the US. It is a bigger concern that most of these get dumped in the oceans that eventually float over the water and kill marine animals.

SAVE WATER, SAVE LIFE.

After ruining the entire nature, we somehow manage to find sources for ourselves. But what about the other species who are also trying to survive around us? Let's be kind, let's be responsible. Please think of everyone else around as well before ruining and wasting anything around you.. Art Credit: Awantha Artigala #savewater #savewildlife #climatechange #ClimateAction #geographytimes

SEA LEVEL RISE: Ominous Effect Of Global Warming And Climate Change

Floods over any other natural disaster attribute to the highest number of deaths and devastation in the United States of America. Floods are a huge matter of concern in most parts of the world primarily because delta regions contain large and important community residences. The reason for sea level rise is related to 3 primary factors and all 3 reasons are triggered by the current climate change on a global level: I: Thermal Intensification The water levels expand as soon as they heat up. Heating oceans are one of the major reasons for the sea level rise for the last 25 years. II: Melting Glaciers Huge ice formation including mountain caps naturally melts by a small amount every summer. The evaporation of seawater during winter leads to the formation of snow, thus balancing the water cycle. Nonetheless, global warming has prompted continuous high temperatures in recent years. This resulted in higher and much fast-paced summer melting than normal. Additionally, the formation
