Here we look at; How Can We Stop Climate Change with a Web Search and gas and electric. This is part of our series on helping climate change by Growing, Eating, and Living in a Way That Could Be Sustained Forever.

Welcome to part 6 of our mini series on climate change.

In this mini series, we’re covering everything from what is climate change, the causes, the effects, and how you can help to stop climate change.

If you already know that it’s important to do something about climate change, here are the things that you can do:

  1. Check out #VoteWithOurMoney with 6 Steps to Help Stop Climate Change
  2. Try the Sustainability Roadmap with 40+ Solutions to Climate Change
  3. Use the Company Directory to Help You Grow, Eat, and Live Sustainably

If you want some more facts before making any decisions, let’s get into the details:

Here’s what we’ve covered so far;

This time we’ll pick a couple of ideas from our campaign #VoteWithOurMoney with 6 Steps to Help Stop Climate Change.

One of those ideas is using web searches to help stop climate change…

How Can We Stop Climate Change with a Web Search?

Yes, this is an actual thing.

Google is used for most web searches in the UK, however, if you switch to Ecosia you’ll be helping climate change.

Every search through Ecosia removes 1kg of CO2 from the atmosphere!

How? Because Ecosia uses some of their profits to plant trees. Every time you search Ecosia will plant a tree. You can read about the places that Ecosia plant trees.

That’s a super quick switch that doesn’t cost you anything.

Stop Climate Change with Electric and Gas

We already looked at energy in part 4 of this mini series, however, it’s such an important part of stopping climate change that I wanted to cover it again here.

Unfortunately, the UKs biggest banks still finance fossil fuels:

The UK’s 5 biggest banks – Barclays, HSBC, Natwest, Lloyds and Standard Chartered – invested nearly £40.4bn into the coal industry between 2018 and 2020.

One way to stop funding fossil fuels is to spend our money on renewable and green energy. That signals that we prioritise people and planet.

We Can Stop Climate Change

We still have time to take action and stop climate change.

The next goal in the climate crisis is to halve global emissions by 2030.

By changing how we live, where we keep our money, how we spend our money, we can all play our part in stopping climate change.

The most important event in the history of climate change is happening in November 2021, the UN Climate Change Conference Glasgow. What I, you, everyone of us do has an impact on climate change and the decisions that governments make. We don’t need to wait for governments to tell us what to do. We can all make changes to the way we live and how we spend our money, showing that we prioritise people and planet, and those changes will encourage or force businesses and governments to change too.

Stay tuned for parts 7 with What Can We Do to Stop Climate Change.
