Climate change

Climate Change is real and scientists along with activists have been saying that we are not doing enough to save the only planet we have. For many of us, the situation is tricky as they want to join the fight to save planet Earth but they don't know how or where to start. This study may help them start on their journey to save our home.

The study has been carried out by Leeds University and the data for the study has been analysed by experts at Arup, a global engineering firm and C40 group of world cities.

The study has found that adopting six behavioural changes by citizens in well-off nations may go a long way in arresting climate change. A new climate movement has also sprung up based on this.

The Jump, as the climate movement is called is asking those who sign up do these six things.

  • Eatinga largely plant-based diet with big portions and ensuring no waste.
  • Buying no more than three clothing items in a year.
  • Using electrical products for at least seven years.
  • Taking only one short-distance flight in three years and a long-distance flight in eight years.
  • Getting rid of personal motor vehicles. If this is not possible, keep using the same vehicle for long period.
  • Making a considerable effort to nudge the system, like using green energy

Tom Bailey, co-founder of the campaign said: “This ends once and for all the debate about whether citizens can have a role in protecting our earth. We don’t have time to wait for one group to act, we need ‘all action from all actors now’. He was quoted by The Guardian.
