It’s the small things we can all do to reduce pollution and climate change issues. Learn more about The Power of Small® , the solution is a combination of companies making changes to their operations, development and implementation of new innovations and technologies for more sustainable businesses and a social shift. And the social shift is possibly one of the hardest hurtles to overcome.
Now is the time that we must all make small changes in our lives to help ensure our own future and the future of our children, grandchildren, and all future generations. When we ALL make small changes like picking up plastic garbage and recycling it, driving 60 mph (100 km/hr) instead of 70 mph (120 km/hr), using LED light bulbs that last 25 years and use 50% less electricity, and eating smaller portions of meat, we can collectively make a HUGE difference.
The Earth’s climate is changing. Models show us how.
The world’s climate is complex — land, oceans, atmosphere, all in a constant state of change. Feedback loops, seasonal cycles, complicated energy exchange mechanisms … how do you make sense of it all to figure out what’s going on?
Alex is a climate scientist and a physical oceanographer working on the role of the ocean in the climate system, in particular how the ocean will change in the future and what effect this has on the critters that live there. His research includes understanding how the East Australian Current will accelerate in the future, simulating how we can use virtual tuna in ocean simulations to guide sustainable fisheries and explain how a rising air in the tropical Indian Ocean can generate a marine heatwave in the South Atlantic.

TeamTrees We know that one way to combat climate change is by planting trees. But why? Let’s explore the mechanism by which trees fight climate change!
