Description
Summary:According to McElrath and Sutherland (2015:14), green libraries are "those that apply environmentally friendly policies and practices". [...]it has implications for the design of policies intended to influence pro-environmental behaviour among library patrons as well as other citizenry. Climate change threatens the quality of the environment by bringing about an upsurge in sea level, tropical cyclones, heavy precipitation, extreme heat, drought, hailstorm, fire outbreak as well as health, economic and social impacts (Oloke et al, 2013). Some of the health risks associated with air pollution include premature death arising from heart and respiratory diseases, blood vessels conditions and strokes, and lung cancer (Carducci et al., 2017).
