How does climate change affect your life?
Climate change affects my everyday life in such a way that the gases emitted from the industries and other fossil fuels destroy the ozone layer, thereby I am likely to be affected by some skin diseases like cancer. Also we are likely to receive acid rain which will not be good for our crops and that would basically mean that we will experience drought. Not only that, but also the fact that there would be drought means that the government would pump out funds to help people with food instead of using those funds on the education sector and maybe the medical sector.
What does climate responsibility mean to you?
Climate responsibility to me, it means that one has to have the environment at heart be committed as far as protecting the environment is concerned. Also, climate responsibility means that one has to be alert and get all the information about climate so that they will be able to recycle some used things as individuals so as to reduce the rate at which climate change is affecting people in other parts of the world.
