It quite quickly goes unnoticed the profound and devastating changes that have happened to the planet over the last 70 years, when global temperatures first started to rise, as we live our lives day-to-day. However, when we take a moment to zoom out to look at our world, we begin to realise our carelessness as humanity. We see the ice caps in the north and south poles melting and considerable amounts of habitat and wildlife loss, not to mention the unbearable water and air pollution silently intoxicating our bodies. It’s our responsibility to change for the sake of our children and our children’s children. Not taking those small steps, by using renewable energy, to build a more sustainable future in our lifetime could jeopardise the lives of future generations.
Renewable Energy – A Possible Solution?
As a drastically different future is predicted for the life of and within our planet, trading fossil fuels for renewable and sustainable energy sources becomes an absolute no-brainer. Renewable energy is infinite and easily replenishable and is derived naturally from resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, and the thermal energy stored way beneath the earth’s crust. Wind energy is a clean source of energy which can be used to create electricity. Wind farms are seen a lot over the UK and have proven to be a great energy supplier for the National Grid. Ultimately, whilst there have been breakthroughs in choosing more sustainable energy alternatives, the world still heavily relies on fossil fuels, which are running out hard and fast.
An Incentive for Investment
Climate change – a pointless and undefeatable battle? It’s too far gone, you might say. However, renewable energy emits little to no greenhouse gases, as it is all completely natural, meaning there is no added contribution to water or air pollution. It’s good for the environment and great for our health – win, win! But most importantly, choosing sustainable energy alternatives means a much lower cost. With easy access to renewable resources, energy levels are kept at an affordable price –secure, safe and suppliable. As the UK deals with the worrying cost of living crisis, and with even worse times to come with the winter months approaching, coming up with cost-effective solutions is necessary. By importing in over half the gas we use, the impact of price fluctuations on the UK is direct, so a significant shift into being more energy efficient must happen sooner rather than later. Supporting the mission of COP27, taking place in Egypt this November, to ‘raise ambition’, we can’t afford to backtrack on any duties or pledges to tackle the adversity of climate change.
