The situation on the planet is already a very serious issue, and it will get worse if we stand idly by, waiting for a miracle to happen, the solution is in our hands and in the behavior we assume in the face of nature and the care of it. . I think that every human being must present some degree of rationality, and that is why we are the most intelligent within Darwin's animal scale, however it seems that in the face of global warming most of the people do not use this process so essential to face daily life, since we can realize that despite the multiple disastrous consequences that this situation has caused, we continue to ignore and be indifferent to such an important and urgent issue today. At the same time, the attitude of indifference that leads us to a negative behavior towards the environment is getting worse every day and we will reach a situation in which we will only wait for our death and as the author Rius comments “The human being will sink in his own waste ”regarding this comment, it can be said that this author was right since at present it is being fulfilled, because more and more we see garbage in the streets because of exaggerated consumerism, on the other hand, air pollution increases every day exorbitant. I feel that to create a positive attitude towards the environment, the new being that will be inserted into society must be educated, starting from home, that is, the family invites the little one to take care of their environment as a way of life since it will depend on high degree of this, secondly I believe that the education and insertion of environmental subjects in schools is precise and unpredictable because we can create an awareness of the situation and we will add a more positive attitude, if we will gradually have an effective and good training structured to achieve an optimal process and in this way that a situation does not happen in which a young university student does not have a notion of what the term of global warming means and what causes it. To if we can rationalize and assume a positive behavior. Let's move on to the meaning of attitude: Attitude is the association between a given object and a given evaluation (Fazio, 1989, p.155) The attitude is learned, lasting, and is given by social influence and changes according to lived experiences. The attitude is given through a process, that is, I face the object or situation and as an individual I react to an attitude and therefore I assume a behavior, however the attitude of indifference that we are assuming towards the issue of global warming is perhaps due to fear, that is, it is said that when we think of something that causes us fear we tend to eliminate it as soon as possible, because it causes a very unpleasant sensation in the stomach and various reactions in the body, and this is what happens with global warming, it causes us So much fear that we say I don't want to talk about it anymore, let's change the subject, we can change the subject, we can be indifferent to such a serious situation; But that will not change the phenomenon that we are causing by our unconsciousness and immaturity at all. Since the main consequences that this phenomenon entails are: - Rise in sea level, due to the melting of the polar caps. - Hardening of droughts in southern Europe. - Decrease in water reserves in different regions due to evaporation and plant evapotranspiration. - Increase in erosion and salinization phenomena in coastal areas. - Increase and spread of infectious diseases. - Increase in frequency and intensity of extreme meteorological phenomena, with significant loss of human and economic life. - Loss of agricultural productive capacity in large areas of Asia and Africa. - Displacement of species towards colder altitudes or latitudes, looking for the climates to which they are accustomed. Those species that are unable to adapt or move will become extinct. Sounds really creepy no. However, there are many actions that we can take to fight global warming, such as: Choose an efficient vehicle. A car with a performance of 8.5 km per liter of gasoline (20 miles per gallon) will emit approximately 50 tons of carbon dioxide during its useful life. Drive smart. Synchronize your car's engine and keep your tires well inflated. Drive less. When possible, choose alternatives not to drive (take public transport, use the bicycle, etc. Buy energy efficient appliances. Use your power as a consumer by buying energy efficient models. Change your bulbs for compact fluorescent bulbs. Compact fluorescent bulbs last 10 times longer than the incandescent ones most people use, even though they are initially more expensive. Unplug your appliances when they are off Turn off the lights when you're not using them Occupies one organic and inorganic trash can Do not consume unnecessary objects Make yourself heard. We need laws that guide our nation toward important solutions to the problem of global warming: cleaner cars and cleaner power plants. Send a message to legislators, judges, and elected government officials, letting them know that you hold them accountable for what they do, or don't do, about global warming. Noise pollution is one of the another pollution. Check our article on Auditory effects of noise pollutions from our Sunday Blog. Faced with the exposed situation, we can say taken for granted, it will remain in each of us if we change or continue with the same attitude of indeference; But when we decide to change, hopefully I don't know too late.
