​Now that we know Climate Change, its causes and effects, what can we do now? I will explain to you, from the heart of BluHomes.
 

1. Open your windows and use natural ventilation to reduce your use of air conditioning, the biggest consumer of energy
2. Regularly clean your aircon filters to sustain its efficiency and no energy is wasted
3. Use energy-efficient appliances like inverter-type aircon and washing machine to reduce your energy consumption
4. Turn off your lights when going out of the room and remove sockets of your devices that are not being used
5. Install window covers to reduce the heat inside your home and reduce your use of air conditioning
6. Do not use water heater too much when showering
7. Use LED light bulbs because it is more energy-efficient and does not emit heat compared to ordinary incandescent light bulbs
8. Install solar panels on your home to reduce your energy coming from fossil fuels
9. Use natural daylight from your windows to reduce your use of artificial lights
10. Use clothesline instead of drying machines
11. Use automatic voltage regulators to reduce energy fluctuations and phantom loads
12. Do some of your activities outdoors like playing and jogging
13. Walk, bike, or use public transport in going places to reduce emissions coming from your vehicles
14. Regularly tune-up your car to maintain its efficiency and to make it not emit too much smoke
15. Choose to consume fruits and vegetable instead of meat because they have less carbon footprint and less processing is required

1. Reduce, reuse, and recycle to reduce trash that ends up in our landfills that pollute our water
2. Resell or give away your unused and old items instead of throwing them to trash
3. Do composting to use your organic waste into fertilizer instead of throwing them to trash
4. Avoid single-use plastic. Instead, use reusable eco-bags, stainless staw, reusable meal containers and utensils
5. Use cotton rags instead of paper towels to reduce your waste
6. Use bamboo products because they are much more highly renewable compare to other types of wood
7. Print mindfully and reuse papers to reduce cutting of trees in making papers
8. Plant trees, grass, and plants in your backyard because they help in fighting climate change
9. Conserve water. Turn off your faucets when it is not being used
10. Use dual flush toilets, low-flow faucets, and low-flow shower heads to reduce water consumption
11. Fix your leaking faucets to reduce wasted water
12. Go out to nature to appreciate its beauty and be inspired to take care of it
13. Support green products like nature-friendly soap and shampoo, clothes made up of plastic trash, and shoes made from used rubber tires.
14. Because more than 40% of the energy consumption in the world comes from buildings and homes, it’s very important to support certified green developments like BluHomes.
15. Lastly, speak up and spread awareness. This is what we are doing in this video series. So please help me spread awareness by sharing this video to your friends and family.

What are the negative effects of Climate Change? Why should I care? I’ll explain to you, from the heart of BluHomes.
 
Based on the report of Breakthrough National Center for Climate Restoration based in Melbourne, Australia, and is also reported by CNN Philippines, “climate change could pose existential threat by year 2050.” There is a threat to our lives and to the lives of our children and grandchildren because of climate change.
 
Because of global warming, our climate is getting warmer. According to the report, in the year 2050, in a span of only a year, we will experience 100 days of lethal heat that cannot be tolerated by our bodies.
 
Our polar ice caps at the north pole and south pole are melting, and our sea level is rising. Many places around the world will be submerged in water, and many places in the Philippines will be included. Billions of people will need to vacate their homes to seek for higher places, and we might be part of them.
 
Because the water that comes from melting of our polar ice caps are fresh water, the saltiness of our oceans gets diluted. In addition, the heat in our atmosphere are being absorbed by our oceans, that’s why our oceans are also getting warmer. Because of these, many species of fishes and corals will be harmed.

Because of the heating of our climate, our soils become dryer and their moisture is getting depleted that are needed by our crops for our fruits and vegetables. Our food production will have a problem and we will experience food shortage. Many people will starve.
 
Because of global warming, the waters in our oceans evaporate more quickly, and there is now more moisture content in our atmosphere. This will cause more sever and more frequent storms in the future.
 
Because of the warming, the moisture content of the plants and trees in our forests get depleted, and forest fires will be more rampant, that will destroy our forests. Habitats of many species of animals and insects will be at risk.
 
Why should your care? Your children, your grandchildren, and the future generation will face a huge problem in the future because of your actions and poor decisions today. You said you want your children and your grandchildren to inherit a better life, but you will inherit to them climate change and its problems. Will you allow this?
 
The good news is that we can do something about this, today. This will be discussed in part 3.

​We always hear the words Climate Change, but what is it really in simple terms? What are its causes? I’ll explain to you, from the heart of BluHomes.
 
Climate Change is not the typical changing of weather where it is rainy today, and tomorrow it is sunny. Or where it is cold today, and tomorrow it is hot. That is not Climate Change. Climate Change is the change of the average condition of the earth in the long term.
 
One example of this is Global Warming, the warming of the average temperature of the world these past 50, 100 years based on the studies of scientists.
 
This graph from NASA shows the fast increase of the average temperature of the Earth starting in the 1950s. What happened in the 1950s? Third Industrial Revolution, where the manufacturing industry and the automobile industry boomed all over the world. The burning of fossil fuels, emission of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and pollution have been rampant.
 
Shown in this graph also from NASA the line where the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere has never been passed in the history of the Earth. But in the 1950s, during the Third Industrial Revolution, the trend has spiked has passed this line. This is strong evidence that Global Warming is caused by human activities, not a natural cycle of the globe.
 
What is the cause of global warming?

The main source of energy in our homes and buildings are mainly from coal-fired power plants, which burns fossil fuels that emit greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. Aside from this, our cars burn off gasoline and diesel that also releases these greenhouse gases. This means that carbon dioxide and all other greenhouse gases are increasing in our atmosphere. What will happen?
 
When solar energy from the sun hits the Earth, some of the energy gets reflected back to space, but some energy is trapped inside our atmosphere. Because of these greenhouse gases, more solar energy is being trapped inside our atmosphere. This is called Greenhouse Effect that causes global warming and climate change.
 
So what if the globe is warming? Why should I care? That is what I will share with you in part 2.
