Behavioral change is essential to mitigate climate change.
Climate change is worsening extreme weather events, causing loss of biodiversity, and threatening human health.
Without anthropogenic causes, these events are extremely unlikely.
Human behavioral change is essential to mitigate climate change., in the following categories: conservation (e.g., saving water or electricity),consumption (e.g., buying organic products),recycling (e.g., recycling paper or plastics), transportation (e.g., sustainable transportation alternatives), and littering.

Littering is linked to emissions of greenhouse gases.

Frequently littered items, such as cigarette butts and packages, contain plastics and these plastics release greenhouse gases when decomposed in both terrestrial and marine environments.
