Clearer skies, less polluted water, and lower carbon emissions are all strongly tied to the same thing many believe to be destroying the world as we know it: COVID-19. Thanks to the enforced life of simplicity that derives from social distancing, Corona has helped tremendously in the fight against climate change. Scientists are even claiming that corona has been the long awaited solution to climate change.

The waters in Venice’s canals are clear for the first time in years, and the skies in China have turned from gray to blue thanks to factories shutting down. Nasa’s documentation of pollution over China portrays that pollution is down 10-30%. Something so ugly and unpredictable has led to the beautification of our earth. Experts say that they hope these climate aware habits will last even after corona has vanished.

This is just a little silver lining during this time, but it can lead to the betterment of society forever.
