GOVERNOR ÜNLÜ “SHOULD BE SENSITIVE TO PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT”

So what can we do about it? By evaluating our agriculture and climate policies together, we should adopt the restoration of natural resources, carbon sequestration and carbon storage in the soil, soil quality and the most appropriate water use methods. As individuals, we should protect our environment and be more sensitive about the use of products that have an impact on climate change.

Even using public transport plays a serious role in reducing carbon emissions. We should prioritize renewable and sustainable green energy sources such as wind and solar energy. We must protect our forest areas and plant more trees. If we show nature the respect it truly deserves, nature will give us more in return.
