Ocean Acidification:
The process occurs naturally on its own, however due to our excessive carbon emissions and burning of fossil fuels. This becomes a problem because oceans become more corrosive which tremendously impacts coral reefs and the erosion of all marine life. We can lower rates of ocean acidification by cutting carbon pollution drastically and choosing renewable and eco friendly energy sources. We can do this by being mindful of our carbon footprint.
Carbon Footprint:
-Minimize driving by walking, running, biking, or public transportation
-Minimize purchasing brand new products
-Embrace a minimalist lifestyle
-Reduce energy usage
-Buy locally sourced, organic and unprocessed foods from local farmers
-Reduce water usage
-Recycling
-Composting
