Global warming isn’t just environment crisis, its a complex threat affecting health and daily life. As the temperature rise, the health risks rise too like -

  • Heat waves : increases chances of cardiovascular deaths, heatstroke and dehydration
  • Air pollution : makes asthma and other lung diseases worse
  • Food and water security : Water borne diseases along with polluted water and malnutrition
  • Vector borne diseases : spreads malaria and dengue
  • Mental health : leads to anxiety and trauma from natural disasters

The climate crisis is a public health crisis too. Change starts now, with every choice to be more sustainable and shift policies to reduce global warming and protect our future :globe_showing_europe_africa:

Planting more trees and redevelop forest. This should be the first step to protect our future. second should be usable of natural resources and refilling that resources.

In my opinion, the climate crisis truly is a health crisis too — it affects our bodies, minds, and communities. One sustainable choice I make is to reduce waste and use fewer single-use plastics. Small steps like this help protect the environment and our health together.

One sustainable choice can be reducing the use of plastic and replacing them with reusable bags and bottles.

Reducing plastic usage would make much difference.
