🌍 climate change is natural? But we are damaging Earth by speeding up this natural process! 💔

90% of scientists agree humans are the cause of unnatural climate change. So, we're sharing global warming FACTS for International Reducing CO2 Emissions Day:
🌡️ Carbon dioxide (CO2) from oil, gas, and coal increases Earth's temperatures.
⛈️ Deadly storms, droughts and wildfires are happening more often because of rising temperatures.
🌊 Floods are increasing because melting glaciers and ice caps raise our sea levels.
💀 Plants and animals are going extinct because they can't live through unnatural environmental and temperature changes.
⚕️ More people are struggling with health issues because our air and water are full of toxic gases.

♻️ But it's not too late; Reduce, Reuse and Recycle to help SAVE our planet!

🗣️ A member of the Science2Go team said WHAT about us?! 👀

We asked Njabulo from our KwaZulu-Natal team about the moments that mean the most to him.

👇 And he said... 👇
"Being part of this project has been a beautiful journey for me. There's nothing more exciting and breath-taking than witnessing the enthusiasm and comprehension on learners' faces during practical applications and after lessons."

🤷 How does Njabulo know Science2Go makes a difference? 🤔
"During my 3 years in this amazing CASME - Centre for the Advancement of Science and Mathematics Education initiative, I've witnessed its significant impact on learner's lives. Students not only become adept at handling science equipment in the lab but also develop aspirations to pursue science in high school and as a career."

With our South African Muslim Charitable Trust and MAHLE South Africa partnerships and devoted members like Njabulo, Science2Go is nurturing a LOVE for STEM in South Africa.
