Heat waves are notorious for taking our own lives as they may cause health complications like headaches, rashes, dehydration, or even blood clots!

Heat waves are also known for their damaging repercussions on surrounding ecosystems!

Often times, when the temperature of the water drastically elevates due to the presence of heat waves, the quality of water also takes a toll for the worse, all while affecting marine life (increase in algue, a.k.a the process of eutrophication, which creates a high risk of fishes dying :o)

Heat waves ultimately caused by global warming can be stopped as a collective.

What can we do to help people who are unsure of what to do?
