However, trends can also run counter to each ither as technology


progresses. Every era offers a trend that seems to fade away as a new decade
begins. Like Telephones and beepers were once the communication trend, but were
eventually replaced by the cellphones, tablets, and iPads.

 Fads typically spread quickly but disappear equally quickly.


 Trends overlap and interlock, reinforcing each other.
 It can also counter to each other and cancel each other out.

Here are some specific examples of Trend:


Look at the phenomenal Facebook and Twitter. These
major social media networks have stunning billion of
active users as a new way to connect with people across
the globe. As a social trend, these major social media
platforms constantly change the way we relate and communicate.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN


TREND AND FAD?
The easiest way to categorize a Fad is one word: Short-lived. Typically, fads
last for a one season, but they can also last less than a month. Fads are novelty
driven fashion choices. While trends have a much longer lifespan than fads. They
can continue to be fashionable for years and even decades. While the primary

How can one spot a trend?


TRENDSPOTTING
Spotting a trend is looking at the future through the lens of the present
moment. Being able to predict a trend is a valued skill for the global citizen.
Sometimes it is called coolhunting and trend analysis. It begins with environmental

coffee. Today, people buy Starbucks products in shopping centers, airports, and
supermarkets everywhere. But when a development in popular culture is new, it is
difficult to distinguish between a fad and a trend. Trends-potters need to ask
themselves: will this become an important global trend, or is it just a passing fad?
People who invested their funds in Green Peace swimsuits probably regret their
decision. Clearly, they mistook a fad for a trend.

Change is inevitable. The era of globalization has certainly contributed in Some of the most important issues of our time are related to the
changing the landscape of the world and its inhabitants. Amid this growth and environment. As human beings attempt to dominate the natural world, the basic
advancement in technology, the environment seems to bear and suffering the rhythm of nature is upset. Air and water pollution, toxix wastes, improper garbage

the environment. The issue on climate change is one concrete manifestation and problems that relate to the environmental destruction. The many typhoons and
realization that the age of globalization and rapid industrial and technological strong rains are indeed devastatng. The pollution of international waters, the
advancement has taken its toll on the natural environment. irreversible destruction of the world’s forests and increased toxic emissions in the
air we breathe, among other things, leave us to ponder our relaionship with the
environment.
WHAT CAUSES GLOBAL WARMING
 CLIMATE CHANGE – it is the primarily caused by the growing amount of
heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere, often reffered to as “greenhouse
gases.” (carbon dioxide, methane etc.) this is a result from human
activities, such as deforestation, pollution and burning fossil fuels.

 EDUCATE THE PUBLIC change. When people burn fossil fuels to heat their homes or fuel their cars, and
when land is converted from forests to other uses, greenhouse gases are emitted
to the atmosphere. Today, the impact of climate change is one of the mos
significant environmental chanllenges facing the planet.
Claimate change mitigation demands a profound change in our energy
production and use since emission of greenhouse gases comes from combustion.
As reported by experts, the effects of climate change will not be the same across
sectors, the world , or even within many countries. Some areas could have benefits,
while other could have damage. Some sectors may see ‘possitive’ effect, while
other sectors may see ‘negative’ effects. Effects may also evolve as cliamet change
continues, altering the nature and distribution of these effects across sectors and
regions.

CLIMATE CHANGE SOLUTIONS


the last two decades has witnessed expanding political and ecnomic
discussions over the ways of reducing greenhouse gases or, at least, exploring ways
of adapting to the predicted climatic changes. In order to avoid the most serious
impacts avoid of climate change, humans will have to significantly reduce the
amount of greenhouse gas emissions being put into the atmosphere.
Governments, companies, and civil societies are becoming concious of alternative
ways to reduce greenhouse gases that range from the use of cleaner production
technologies, efficient public trasport systems, use of renewable energy, and the
‘green’ building designs. The use of cleaner production technologies and change of
lifestyle are desired to impact a change in climate. Addressing the treat of climate
change, strategies need to be sustained in both personal and global initiatives while
lobbying for political and economic will of governments and companies.
