Investing in the environment vital to human race

Investing in the Earth is extremely important due to how pollution, deforestation and displacement of animals is affecting the environment.

There are different ways to invest in the environment, which includes monetary investment and investment of time. According to the United Nations Foundation, there are seven ways to invest in the planet.

One way to invest in the environment is by investing in renewable and in energy sustainability, which would help with pollution seeing as fossil fuels are responsible for around 60% of greenhouse gas emissions, according to the UN environment programme, Renewable energy. Governments around the world, and citizens of said countries, should turn to sustainable options for energy some of which includes: solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, geothermal energy, and ocean energy according to the UN.

Citizens are able to use solar energy from installed solar panels and invest in other forms of energy,but the responsibility falls on the government to transition to these types of renewable energy.

Voting for elected officials who support these types of energy’s and petitioning/protesting for the use of these renewable energies could help encourage a change.

Reducing deforestation and regrowing the trees that were cut down will in effect help reduce carbon emissions. According to wwf.org on the effects of deforestation, trees, in essence, absorb carbon dioxide, and when they are cut down, those gasses that they once were storing, will release carbon dioxide back into
