global twaming and pollution in India

y epaala Jain t-A

Throighouf the world heatuaves are likely to become more intense
and fhecuent in the 21st century Unless there are intemediate and
lange scale recuctions in greenhoUse emissions. limiting global uarming
t o close to 15 degrees celsius or 2 cdegrees celsius over pre indtustrial
times ull be beyond reach. Keeping in mind that ue have only one
planet, and gobal wamming and pollution are runing it apidlg. I

decided to take initiative and intervieuw the people arouncd me to test

their knouledge on the same as well as spread auareness on how to
be more eco fhiendly and decrease our carbon footpnint

1 nterviewed mang neighbours and fellow dassmates and they all uwere

thiokthat it is affecting our lives and the lives of out uecoming
