Hurumanu-The Future

Hurumanu: Climate Change and the future

Aim; To look at the different ways we can prevent climate change in the future.

How is sea-level rise going to affect us in NZ

floods more chance of a cyclone blocked roads 

What else do we need to think about? 

places near rivers and homes near the beach.

What other places around NZ will be affected?

What places will be affected? Pacifist Island NZ different Places. 

What does this do to our drinking water?

we don't have much good water left and it will turn bad.

What are the main concerns?

Climate change can also result from external forcing, when events outside of the climate system's components nonetheless produce changes within the system. Examples include changes in solar output and volcanic. Human activities can also change the climate, and are presently driving climate change through global warming.

What can we do to prevent climate change?

What can we do?

1. 1. Speak up! 
2. 2. Power your home with renewable energy. 
3. 3. Weatherize, 
4. 4. Invest in energy-efficient appliances. 
5. 5. Reduce water waste. 
6. 6. Actually, eat the food you buy—and make less of it meat. 
7. 7. Buy better bulbs. 
8. 8. Pull the plug's 

    

Curbing climate change

What is the one, silver bullet solution?

There is no silver bullet

What is the mix of things we need to start doing?

1. Getting to be able to use renewable 
2. Solar heating
3. Transport

What are 3 others you can think of?

1. Recycling 
2. Cycling
3. Reusing items (plastic bags, plastic objects, things which might not be used, etc.)

Colour 1: for actions, they are already doing 

Colour 2: for actions that they pledge to undertake in the future

Ecological Handprint The Ecological handprint builds on the concepts from the Carbon Footprint. We will look at the positive actions of:

1. Transportation
2. Community
3. Consumption
4. Water
5. Food
6. Home
7. Waste

1 Colour: For each action, you are already doing. 

2 Colour: For each action, you would like to do in the future.
