Pollution and Green Energy

Natural Gas Offers

Our lifestyle creates pollution

We consume energy when we drive, cook, watch TV and cool or heat our homes. Most energy is generated through polluting sources such as the burning of fossil fuels like natural gas and oil. This pollution has been linked to many environmental challenges.

Rising temperatures

Average temperatures have increased by approximately 1.4°F since the early 20th Century. This may not seem like a significant change, but small changes in temperature correspond to enormous changes in the environment:

  • Increased extreme weather events such as heat waves, droughts, floods, hurricanes and severe storms.
  • Lowered agricultural productivity due to less favorable weather conditions, less available irrigation water, increased heat stress to plants and an increase in pest activity due to warmer temperatures.
  • Extinction of species that cannot adapt to rapidly changing climate and habitat conditions.
Heightened water levels

Heightened water levels

  • Since 1993, global sea levels have risen at an accelerating rate of about 3.5 mm/year, leading to the loss of thousands of miles of shoreline and threatening 10% of the world’s population that live in low-lying areas.
  • Warming temperatures also lead to the melting of glaciers and ice sheets, which has caused rising ocean levels in both poles and forced the extinction of certain species.

Increased smog levels

  • Smog is high in established metropolitan areas across North America, and is growing rapidly in countries such as India and China.
  • High concentrations of greenhouse gases are linked to air and water pollution, as well as climate change which contribute to flooding, habitat destruction, ecosystem disruption, the spread of infectious diseases, and fresh water shortages.
