Warning: Climate Change Is Increasing the Likelihood of Another Pandemic
Since the break of this pandemic, 514,975,396 people have contracted COVID-19 and there have been 6,240,940 related deaths. Even though this terrible tragedy is not over, researchers are already warning that climate change is increasing the likelihood of another pandemic.
Worst Carbon Emitters?!
We love our beautiful homeland. Sadly, it is reported that Canadians are among the world’s worst carbon emitters. We can do better! The May Eco-challenge organized by the Asian Studies Sustainability Initiative Committee helps show how small but meaningful changes can make a big difference to the environment. Let’s reduce carbon emissions to make our homeland beautiful forever!
