Main cause of climate changes is HUMAN. Yes, you read it right.Humans are responsible for virtually all globally heating over the last 200 years.
Earlier climate change was due to natural shifts like change in sun’s activity or large volcanic eruptions but these natural shifts did not affect the Earth on a longer run.
But,
Since 1800s , major reason of the climate change is human activities as humans are the reason for producing abnormal levels of greenhouse gases in the air.
Greenhouse gasses are the gases which are the biggest contributor in the climate change across the globe. Although, in limited amount they are beneficial for us as they help the earth to remain warm by trapping the sunlight when it reflects back from the earth surface, but as their is a saying that excessiveness of everything is harmful and it fits here too. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane are harming the earth.
Burning of fossil fuels is the largest contributor to the greenhouse emissions.
One can contribute a lot towards it at the ground level. Following are the actions we can take:-
•Reduce, reuse, repair and recycle :- The items we buy cause carbon emissions at each point in production, from the extraction of raw materials to manufacturing and transporting goods to market. To protect our climate, buy fewer things, shop second hand, repair what you can, and recycle.
•Save energy at home :- We should use energy-efficient electric appliances, switching to LED light bulbs, washing your laundry with cold water, or hanging things to dry instead of using a dryer
•Walk, cycle or take public transport:- Vehicles burn diesel or petrol emitting greenhouse gases. Use of cycles or preferring walking not only reduce greenhouse gases but also help to improve our health and fitness
•Eat more vegetables :- Eating more fruits and vegetables, and less meat and diary, can significantly lower your environmental impact.
•Use electric vehicles:- Electric cars help reduce air pollution and cause significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions than petrol kr diesel-powered vehicles.

Let’s understand what is natural farming and organic farming.
Natural farming : Natural farming is the method of farming in which farming is done with no use of manufactured input or equipment and no use of any pesticides and chemicals.
Organic farming : Organic farming is the method of farming in which farming is done without using any chemicals or pesticides.
Natural farming and organic farming have similar objectives but differ in their approaches and practices.
Following is the difference between Natural farming and organic farming
1. In Natural Farming there is no use of any fertilizers but in organic farming organic fertilizers such as Compost, manure, green manure, worm casting etc. are used.
2. Natural farming method is not expensive whereas organic farming can be expensive.
3. Natural farming can not be use to produce the products ( fruits, vegetables) commercially while organic farming can be done to produce the products commercially.
4.Natural farming can not be done in large scale while organic farming can be done in large scale.
5. Natural farming products does not have any certification while organic farming certification in India is govern by NPOP i.e. National programme for organic products.
6. Natural farming does not involve practices such as ploughing, tilling using of herbicides, pesticides while in organic farming use of organic herbicides, pesticides, ploughing, tilling is done.
These are some of the differences in Natural farming and organic farming.
(Extra info.- NPOP i.e. National programme for organic products comes under ministry of Commerce and industry and Sikkim was declared as fully organic state in 2016).
