The Environment & Sash Window Repair
Poorly maintained or damaged windows can be harmful to both the environment and your wallet, so consider repairing your sash windows with a sash window repair service from Kellys Sash Windows.
Why Is Reducing Our Impact On The Environment Important?
The environment is precious and it is very important to take measures in order to protect it. Climate change has affected our planet and if nothing is done about it, it could have some disastrous effects. Many of us have heard about melting ice caps, rising sea levels and global warming, but what does this actually mean? How serious is climate change?
With regards to climate change, NASA wrote that “The Arctic Ocean is expected to become essentially ice free in summer before mid-century”. This means that there would be less heat reflecting ice and much more heat absorbing dark oceans. This will also affect animals that live in the Arctic; such as walruses and polar bears.
Additionally, according to Scientific American “the Arctic Ocean contains more methane than the rest of the world’s oceans combined.” Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and warmer Arctic water and land areas have already begun to release this greenhouse gas!
Climate change is a problem for the whole planet, and as such it could also cause issues for the United Kingdom. The Committee on Climate Change wrote that climate change could increase the risk of both inland and coastal flooding in the United Kingdom. Additionally the United Kingdom could also face water scarcity, and heat waves as a result of climate change.
With the serious consequences surrounding climate change, it is very important that we take steps to reduce the impact we have on our precious environment.
How Could Your Home Contribute To Climate Change?
When searching for ways to combat climate change, it is important that we look to reduce the impact that our daily lives have on the environment. For example, your home can contribute to climate change in numerous ways:
- Central Heating
Using central heating to heat your home uses up energy. If your home isn’t properly insulated, you’ll not only be harming your wallet, but also the environment. Additionally, if your windows are only single glazed, you could be losing a lot of heat from your windows!
- Light Bulbs
You might think that your choice of light bulbs is about choosing the bulbs that will last the longest in your home. However, as written in a report in the Independent, switching to low-energy bulbs and other energy efficient lighting “could prevent a cumulative total of 16 billion tons of carbon from being added to the world’s atmosphere over the next 25 years”
- Your Lifestyle
Wasting energy is sadly a part of some people’s lifestyles. Instead of turning electronics off when not using them, some people instead leave the device on standby mode. Additionally some people leave lights on when not using them. This all wastes energy ad like the two previous points, wasting energy is not only harmful for your wallet, but also harmful to the environment.
