Climate change is not about our day being sunny or not. Climate
change is a long term effect on Earth, changing the weather we usually
experience and affecting Earth's population. Climate change has long
been identified. However, it is until recent years that climate change
is known to be the result of human activities rather than due to
natural changes in the atmosphere.
The main contributor to climate change is greenhouse gases. This
primary cause of climate change has a delayed effect, likened as a
disease with a long incubation period. There could have already been
damages done which is not reversible by now, but if we do not take
action now and stop releasing more CO2 (the main ‘greenhouse gas'), the
effect could be more devastating.
While
the list of issues resulted by climate change can be endless, there are
also many ways where humans can help adapt to climate change and slow
it down. We can take various initiatives at home, from reducing waste
to changing the way we transport to work or even joining an
environmental organization.
080808.com.my has created a Pledge Room
for everyone to know that even small actions can contribute in helping
planet Earth. The environmental campaign aims to spread awareness of
climate change affecting the world and how we can each play our part in
preserving the environment. Since its launch recently, it has
successfully attracted hundreds of visitors from around the world to
its site and to participate in its Pledge Room.
To encourage further participation in this environmental campaign, 080808.com.my is giving out ecobuttons as prizes for lucky winners who share the pledge campaign with their friends or blogs about climate change.
ecobuttonTM
is a new retro-fit computer power saving device that has been described
as the ''most important promotional product since the Bic pen''. By
simple use of the ecobuttonTM
your business could save in electricity bills and literally tonnes of
wasted CO2 per year that can go a long way to reducing your carbon
footprint.
The 080808.com.my ecobutton review.
This initiative by 080808.com.my
is truly in line with its theme to 'make a mark', enabling everyone who
pledge to make their pledge counts towards a better future.
