The need to totally embrace renewable, clean energy

For years, humanity has depended on fossil fuels for energy. But it has come at a cost. Carbon emissions produced as a result of using these fossil fuels have caused damage. We have a depleting ozone later, our climate is constantly changing, the pollution has been profound.

Raining season no longer comes when it is supposed to. The dry season is unbearable due to the intense heatwave. We've seen glaciers in the Arctic melt. These are just some of the results of our use of fossil fuels. The carbon emissions lead to air pollution which is also a risk for health. Respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses have multiplied thanks to the pollution from dangerous emissions. Lands are polluted and no longer fertile enough to produce crops. The water bodies are also polluted as a result of thee fossil fuels and there are deaths of aquatic life. The damning effect of the land and water pollution is food scarcity. When the lands aren't fertile enough for plants to grow, food can't be produced. Also, when the oceans are polluted, fishes die and food is affected. What follows is food scarcity. There are also cases of drought due to extreme weather. It also results in food scarcity. All of this highlights the absolute need to completely embrace renewable energy. Renewable, clean energy is the way forward for mankind. The sun has given us a gift through solar energy. With solar energy, we can create enough electricity to power whole communities. No gas emission, no noise and consequently no pollution. More and more cars these days operate on rechargeable batteries, further reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and drastically cutting down gas emissions. Wind is another source of clean, renewable energy. Embracing renewable, clean energy has ripple effects. There will be lesser gas emissions and less noise, leading to less pollution. Our oceans and lands would be spared further damage. Our climate won't continue to change drastically. We have a situation in our hands and we have to take charge. Several countries have gotten into action regarding this. Some countries have set targets for when cars running on petrol will be banned. This means only cars running on renewable energy will be in use. That's a big step towards the future we want. Hopefully more countries will adopt policies like this and make the world a better place to live in.
