How To Combat Climate Change Effectively With PHS: Helping Starts At Home

Understanding Climate Change

Climate change refers to the long-term warming of the planet due to human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels and the release of greenhouse gases. Global warming leads to extreme weather events, which are a danger to public health, especially in developing countries.

The impact of climate change can be seen in even the coldest of environments, such as melting glaciers and rising sea levels in the Arctic. Climate change threatens lives and nature across the planet, making it more difficult and expensive to protect against and recover from.

Global Climate Change Action

World leaders regularly come together to discuss the climate crisis with hopes to provide resolutions for future generations. These decision makers often come to agreements such as the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C, preferably 1.5°C, from pre-industrial revolution levels.

There are many international groups set up to tackle climate change, such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) which facilitates international cooperation to address climate change. These often have a positive effect. For example, the EU’s climate change efforts have resulted in a 37% drop in EU emissions in 2023 compared to 1990 levels.

Renewable energy growth and decreased use of fossil fuels have contributed to these reductions, and you can too.

Reducing Emissions and Carbon Footprint

There are plenty of ways that individuals, communities, and governments can help when it comes to climate change mitigation. As coal factories continue burning fossil fuels, cattle farming releases harmful methane, and deforestation harshly impacts our atmosphere, it's sometimes difficult to see how we can make a difference at home.

However, it may be easier than you think to get on the road to helping to mitigate climate disaster, and save some money in the process.

Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels

The fossil fuel industry makes efforts to block climate change action and hinder efforts to reduce carbon emissions, but you can block them from your home by switching to renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar, which can reduce carbon footprint by up to 1.5 tons of CO2e per year.

At PHS, we can provide you with a full solar array of panels and batteries, ensuring your lights stay on for a fraction of the price, and with less energy used from fossil fuels.

Reducing Energy Consumption

Improving home energy efficiency with installations such as solar panels and air source heat pumps can reduce carbon footprint by up to 900 kg of CO2e per year.

You can also do your part by using energy-efficient appliances, turning off lights and electronics, and reducing heating and cooling use can reduce energy consumption.

Installing double glazing on your windows, buying extra insulation, and using low-energy lights can all increase energy efficiency in your home, reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

Sustainable Transportation

Changing how you move around the world can help to heal it. Walking, cycling, or using public transport instead of driving can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.

Electric vehicles can also help to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, but still run on electricity produced from fossil fuels.

International aviation has one of the worst impacts on climate change, letting off huge amounts of carbon emissions.

Climate Change FAQ

How can climate change be reduced?

Climate change can be tackled by cutting carbon emissions, increasing energy efficiency, and switching to renewable energy. Solutions like solar panels and air source heat pumps reduce reliance on fossil fuels, helping lower greenhouse gas emissions.

By adopting sustainable heating and power solutions, homes and businesses can significantly shrink their carbon footprint while saving on energy costs.

What are we doing to fight climate change on a global scale?

Countries worldwide are investing in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and carbon capture technologies to reduce emissions. The UK government supports initiatives like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, making it more affordable for homeowners to switch to greener heating options.

At PHS, we contribute by installing high-efficiency air source heat pumps, solar PV systems, and EV chargers, empowering individuals to take part in the transition to a sustainable future.

What are 5 things we can do to stop climate change at home?

1. Switch to Renewable Energy – Install solar panels to generate clean electricity and reduce reliance on the grid.
2. Upgrade to an Air Source Heat Pump – Reduce heating emissions by switching from gas or oil to an efficient heat pump system.
3. Improve Home Insulation – Proper insulation cuts energy waste, making heating and cooling more efficient.
4. Reduce Energy Waste – Use LED lighting, energy-efficient appliances, and smart thermostats.
5. Drive Electric or Reduce Car Use – Installing an EV charger at home supports a cleaner transport future.

By making these changes, homeowners can reduce carbon footprints, save money, and contribute to a cleaner planet. At PHS, we’re committed to helping you make the switch with expert renewable energy solutions.
