Possible Challenge

Generally, there are a lot of challenges we encounter daily, let alone encounter over the course of four years. But, one challenge that is perhaps over looked daily is global warming. Global warming is by far our most lingering challenge as it has already disrupted numerous amounts of lives daily in the forms of loss of habitat and destructive weather patterns. If we DO NOT cut back on our GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions, then possibly hundreds of millions of people may be exposed to water shortages, to famine, extreme weather conditions and a 20 - 30% loss of animal and plant species, which is dire. I believe some ways we could cut back on our GHG emissions are to choose energy-efficient appliances, maybe carpool a little more, and plant a tree!
