Overview
Since 1990, the world has lost 178 million hectares of forest. As an estimated 45% of carbon on land is stored in trees and soil, this loss has a serious effect on the Earth’s atmosphere. It is more important than ever that everyone has a greater understanding of how they can take sustainable steps to protect the planet.
The Climate Change Act states that the UK will be net zero carbon by 2050. Before that, the UK Government will have banned gas boilers, petrol and diesel cars. All our electricity will come from nuclear or renewable sources. This will change all our live and the way we work.
