Each year, a different topic pursuant to ways peace can be encouraged is chosen; This year\u2019s theme is \u201cclimate action.\u201d We don\u2019t think a more fitting theme could have been chosen than this.<\/p>\n<p>Combating climate change is one of the most important actions we can take as a society right now. With rising temperatures, we\u2019re seeing an increase in natural disasters, prematurely melting snow, rising water levels, and more problems that are severely affecting our communities.<\/p>\n<p>So, what can you do to personally help to combat climate change? One of the easiest and most effective ways is right in your home - your <strong><a href=\"\/osage-beach\/heating\/\">heating system<\/a><\/strong>. For this #PeaceDay, we\u2019ll discuss the importance of the HVAC system and what you can do to make an impact on climate change.<\/p>\n<h2>The Social Effects of Climate Change<\/h2>\n<p>Climate change affects more than just the temperatures, it affects how we live and interact as a society. When we\u2019re experiencing more extreme weather, it can displace communities and change the structure in which we conduct our daily lives. Consider these scenarios:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1486\" src=\"\/osage-beach\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/socialeffects.jpg\" alt=\"socialeffects\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/callhonestabes.com\/osage-beach\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/socialeffects.jpg 300w, https:\/\/callhonestabes.com\/osage-beach\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/socialeffects-125x83.jpg 125w, https:\/\/callhonestabes.com\/osage-beach\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/socialeffects-75x50.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Climate change can make for some uncharacteristically cold winters. When this happens, the more heat will be used in homes, which in turn increases the amount of energy we\u2019re consuming and fossil fuels we\u2019re burning.<\/li>\n<li>Erratic and different weather patterns can have some extreme social effects. For instance, when rainfall patterns are affected, it can cause flooding and drought; This can kill farmland and crops, forcing families to move and reducing the amount of food available to communities.<\/li>\n<li>Fires and flooding can decimate entire towns and cities, causing residents to relocate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Do Your Part With a Programmable Thermostat<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1485\" src=\"\/osage-beach\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/programmablethermostats.jpg\" alt=\"programmablethermostats\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/callhonestabes.com\/osage-beach\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/programmablethermostats.jpg 300w, https:\/\/callhonestabes.com\/osage-beach\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/programmablethermostats-125x83.jpg 125w, https:\/\/callhonestabes.com\/osage-beach\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/programmablethermostats-75x50.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>If you\u2019re looking for a good way to combat climate change, a programmable thermostat is a great addition to any home. Controlling your home\u2019s heating system and HVAC with a programmable thermostat saves energy by allowing you to set your home\u2019s temperature to be maintained more evenly throughout your home.<\/p>\n<p>You can control settings and make adjustments right from your phone and even set changes to happen during different times of the day. All of this combined will ensure you\u2019re using less energy, which will put less strain on your local power grid and help to conserve resources. Your pocket will thank you, too - homeowners who use programmable thermostats save an average of 30% on their energy bills.<\/p>\n<h2>Save the Earth, Plant a Tree<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1484\" src=\"\/osage-beach\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/plantatree.jpg\" alt=\"plantatree\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/callhonestabes.com\/osage-beach\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/plantatree.jpg 300w, https:\/\/callhonestabes.com\/osage-beach\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/plantatree-125x83.jpg 125w, https:\/\/callhonestabes.com\/osage-beach\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/plantatree-75x50.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Trees have an incredibly important job of filtering the air we breathe and absorbing carbon dioxide. This International Day of Peace, getting together with friends and family to plant a few trees is a great way to do your part in reducing the effects of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>With every tree planted, our <strong><a href=\"\/osage-beach\/air-conditioning\/ac-filter-replacement\/\">air quality<\/a><\/strong> improves and we can breathe a little easier as a society. When it comes to caring for and preserving our planet, every little bit counts. This #PeaceDay, think of all the ways you can help.<\/p>\n<p>Installing a programmable thermostat and planting trees are great ways to help; But there are other things you can do on a daily basis, as well. Consider carpooling with your family or coworkers more regularly, kick your recycling habits into high gear, or look for ways to conserve water usage within your home - these are all impactful ways you can help to correct climate change problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each year, on September 21st, right before the season changes from summer to fall, an International Day of Peace is celebrated worldwide.
