go 13 of the sustainable development
goals climate action things in your home
that are linked to climate change meet
the Johnson family like many other
families in the world they are linked to
climate change this is because typical
household items and activities directly
influence climate change
throwing away junk mail creates more
greenhouse gases than New York City
produces plastic bags produce carbon
dioxide from the oil burn to make them
and must end up in landfills crops being
used to make coffee and chocolate are
affected by climate change due to the
rising temperatures in the areas they
grow one in six animal species around
the world can become extinct over the
next century due to the effects of
climate change
just like the Johnson family most of our
homes and activities are contributing to
climate change
people are making household changes to
help reduce climate change reducing the
number of plastic bags used at home is
just one way to limit negative effects
of climate change the crops creating
coffee and chocolate can be changed by
adding vegetation around the areas they
grow

scientists are supercharging some plants
by reengineering enzymes to produce
organisms that help turn carbon dioxide
into energy more efficiently rather than
getting all of their carbon dioxide from
the air certain fungi can attach to
crops and pull an extra nutrients from
the soil remember to keep your home in
mind when it comes to reducing climate
change
