plastic wastes trend that is increasing over the years

a greenhouse gas that is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide

when food ends up in a landfill, it creates methane

heat needed to power steam turbines

40% of global CO2 emissions through the combustion of fossil fuels

destroying forests as they are converted to grazing land

cows' emission of methane, a potent greenhouse gas

global meat production has increased rapidly over the past 50 years

Meat Consumption

Wasting Electricity

Wasting Consumables

Small-scaled Activities

the energy needed to heat, cool, light, power and ventilate the buildings

the building sector

the majority of this carbon

packaging and distributing food

growing crops, such as when fertilizers and manure are used

energy to run farm equipment or fishing boats, usually with fossil fuels

the continuous trend of increasing carbon dioxide emissions annually

cement, iron, steel, electronics, plastics, clothes and other goods

produce emissions, mostly from burning fossil fuels to produce energy

coal, oil and natural gas for heating and cooling

emit significant quantities of greenhouse gas emissions

consuming over half of all electricity

most cars, lorries, ships and planes run on fossil fuels

major contributor of greenhouse gases, especially carbon-dioxide emissions

that Brazil alone lost 1.45 hectares of land

forests absorb carbon dioxide

limits nature’s ability to keep emissions out of the atmosphere

the carbon they have been storing

causes emissions, since trees, when they are cut

Producing food

wreak havoc on people's livelihoods and communities

directly harm animals and destroy their habitats

a continuous trend of increasing temperatures annually and monthly

Global sea levels are rising with recent rates

human-caused global warming

the Antarctic ice sheets are losing significant amounts of land-based ice

the eight most recent years have been the warmest

temperature is showing rapid warming in the past few decades

an analysis by NASA

2018 as the sixth warmest year on record
