Climate Change

Climate change is a highly important phenomenon, and will become of increasing significance to this and future generations as its impacts are more broadly experienced and understood in coming decades.

Human beings have been identified as responsible for a significant component of existing and future climate change activity (anthropogenic change) via pollution associated with a range of activity based on/connected to fossil fuel consumption plus other activities that also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions e.g. use of agricultural fertilisers, landfill practices.

Human beings have undoubtedly created a significant problem, but the good news is that they can readily be involved in being part of its solution, and creating a more sustainable world for this and future generations.

Many of the action-based learning activities supported and promoted through AuSSI-WA, such as worm farming, organic composting, 'reducing, reusing and recycling' and 'TravelSmart' are playing a significant part in reducing our greenhouse gas pollution.
