ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Individual action on climate change

One way that individuals can help fight against climate change is by reducing the amount of energy they use. This means things like turning off lights when you leave a room and not leaving all your electronic devices plugged in all the time, even when they are not in use. It also means using more efficient, energy saving appliances and light bulbs that use less electricity. Another way to help fight climate change is to find alternative ways of transportation like walking, biking or taking public transportation instead of driving. Doing this can help cut down on the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere. Finally, individuals can help by reducing the amount of waste they produce. This means things like recycling, composting, and buying products that can be reused or recycled instead of throwing them away. All of these small changes can make a big difference to fighting climate change!
