The United States is the second biggest contributor of carbon emissions compared to all other countries worldwide, producing 5.2 billion metric tons in 2015 alone, and that’s a decrease from previous years. If we continue at this rate, we’ll see increasing global temperatures, rising sea levels, more extreme weather events such as hurricanes and tornadoes, and ecosystem shifts, all of which are potentially destructive to our way of life. However, by making slight changes to our daily activities now, we can improve our future lifestyles. The actions of the United States' large population of 325 million people difference to global carbon emissions. Many people are under the impression that reducing carbon emissions is a huge task that they cannot possibly help with. However, if all Americans made small individual lifestyle changes, we could cut carbon emissions down by 30% by the end of next year. See what you can do to make a difference.
