On February 29, 2018, Leonardo DiCaprio won the Academy Award for Best Actor in 20 years, giving us the prime time to write about the importance of our attention to climate change. He has always been an environmental activist, and because he has a more significant influence than anyone else, he was pretty and very thankful.





  During this year's 30-year climate analysis in Jeju, we have noticed that our climate is steadily rising. The interesting fact is that it goes up to the whole average, but when it sees season it becomes hotter in the summer and the winter becomes colder. If the annual average temperature is 1 ℃ difference, if the summer average temperature goes up 2 degrees, the winter temperature drops 1 degree. (Actually, the Korea Meteorological Administration has felt the urgency of the problem about climate change and has been doing various researches on it.)


  The ecosystem is connected. Climate affects all ecosystems. The destruction of climate change can be more extensive than you think. I will often see footage from environmental groups such as Greenpeace, where the ice is melting and the ice is melting beyond the same level as the day is warmer and colder. However, the linkage of ecosystems is not merely the level of poverty of the animals that are visible. Fine plastics are now going to pose a threat to our survival, as found in our bottled water and shellfish.


It will be these threats.


  • The rise in sea level will mean that large-scale population movements will occur,
  • That the tsunami will be able to flood us more often,
  • That extreme droughts and floods are likely to recur,
  • Many species that balance the ecosystem will end up in extinction,
  • Corals will disappear.
  • Malaria, bacterial dysentery and other diseases related to climate change,
  • Desertification will accelerate


There are more threats besides these few.


That's why we need to be concerned with climate change.

Yes, it is actually a painful thing to know about climate change in detail.

Yes, I do not know.

By the way, I just want to remember this.

If we neglect climate change, our lives and our descendants will have no life.

So, even a small one needs to "Do what I can do from me".




Pick "What I Can Do" for a cool Earth



To raise electricity saving habit

Saving water saving electricity

 ☑︎ Using LED lights

 ☑ ︎Using high-efficiency appliances

 ☑ Reducing door openings in the refrigerator

 ☑ Turn off the electronic power not using

 ☑︎ Reducing heating by 1 ℃ in winter and

     increasing by 1℃ in summer.


  Electricity consumption in Korea is the fastest growing among OECD countries. Protect the environment and reduce the use of electricity.

 ☑︎ Lock faucet while you don't wash your hands

 ☑ ︎Using a toilet, shower water-saving device

 ☑ Tapping tap water while not using it

 ☑︎ Warm water saving

 


  Resources that use all the energy and write water conveniently! If you save water, you will save water, but you will also save energy.

Money-saving vehicle habits

Reduce product consumption

 ☑︎ Close, walking or cycling

 ☑ Using public transportation, bicycles, etc.

 ☑︎ Carpooling

 ☑ Filling Fuel half

 ☑︎ Traveling at the constant speed


The car has generated enormous amounts of CO2, which has brought us convenience. Reduce CO2 through good driving habits and using public transportation.

 ☑ Using a mug

 ☑ ︎Purchasing recycled products

 ☑ Taking advantage of eco-friendly products

 ☑ Reducing disposable products

 ☑ ︎Using refill products


It is possible to reduce CO2 by just reusing things. A small disposable paper cup generates 200,000 tons of CO2 per year and 0.3% of Korea's CO2 emissions.



If we pursue the convenience of the moment, our future may not be able to get out of hand.

Even if it was a bit inconvenient, "Let's practice from me !!"


Make a planet to breathe !!!
