Prior average [...] Whereas, the average temperature in January is 31 degrees, the last month it has reached 39.5 degrees.
There are [...] a number of reasons for this to be the case.
First of all [...] the US-based industries continue to contribute to global warming.
Then there are Cars and trucks [...] contribute to the process, as well - just as it is being the case with large buildings.
we canshould reduce [...] the emissions of carbon monoxide into the atmosphere.
Utilizing carbon [...] In this respect, using carbon calculator will come indispensable.
Next [...] Second, businesses can consider becoming carbon-free.

I applied some adjustments to your text so that it sounds more stylistically refined:

Ecotourism [...] The concept of ecotourism has been around for the last two centuries.
It caused [...] The concept's emergence can be explained by the rising popularity of the environmentalist movement.
Thedefinition of ecotourism [...] implies that there are two dimensions to it - natural and cultural.

Second, to social [...] you should consider removing this sentence - it doesn't make much sense.
And third [...] Ecotourists also strive to preserve the endangered species of animals.
The eco tourist [...] The concerned concept presupposes that people should switch to the renewable sources of energy.
At the time [...] Ecotourists can hardly be found onboard of cruise ships.
Since traveler [...] The conventional tourist industry should become more environmentally friendly, as well.
The last two sentences are hardly intelligible... I would've corrected them but it's quite unclear to me as to what did you want to say. You'll probably be better off removing them, as well.

In other word [...] People should work out a habit of memorizing foreign words whenever is possible.
