the climatic conditions are getting worse and worse, today we should reduce the consumption of non renewable sources, reduce pollution, stop deforestation, recycle, and use renewable sources.

I agree that we should do this, but it's not that easy. most of the things in the world run on non-renewable resources and it would take much longer to convert all of these into renewable sources. I think we should focus on putting are money into things like carbon scrubbers that take the carbon out of the atmosphere so that we have more time to convert to clean energy. we should also implement a mandatory carbon tax to help fund this well also making harder for people to continue using fossil fuels etc...

an international climate program established under the Kyoto Protocol that allowed industrialized countries to invest in emission-reduction projects in developing countries and receive credit for these reductions.

A big contributer to the carbon footprint is flying. Alot of people have to fly for there job but sometimes people fly really far sometimes out of country. They dont realize how much Co2 that releases.

I agree that a big contributor to our carbon footprint is flying however not everyone has the accessibility to a different type of transportation to get where they want to go, and depending on the place, taking a different type of transport,for example a car it could produce more carbon than taking a flight.

"Clean development" generally refers to sustainable development practices, which aim to meet present human needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This approach requires balancing economic growth with social equity and environmental protection, such as transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources like wind and solar power to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Historically, the international community formalized this concept in part through the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), a system under the Kyoto Protocol that allowed developed nations to invest in emission-reduction projects in developing countries and earn carbon credits in return. These projects, which can include things like rural electrification using solar panels or improving energy efficiency in industrial processes, foster the transfer of cleaner, more efficient technologies and stimulate sustainable economic growth in host nations. Overall, clean development is a holistic approach to building a more sustainable world for everyone, integrating environmental concerns into the core of business and societal practices.

In a stark parallel to his predecessor, President Trump mobilized the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to begin to deregulate greenhouse gas emission reporting, reporting of regulations of power plants, and the reconsideration of regulations placed on the oil and gas industry in March. While President Biden quickly called world leaders to join in an agreement to limit the 100-year climate-change outlook to a predicted 1.5 degrees Celsius, the current U.S. administration has confirmed its decision not to send a delegate to the upcoming COP 30 hosted by the UN and will shy away from active talks on worldwide climate policy.  In an effort to combat inflation in the United States and fulfill his campaign promise of making gas, oil, and electricity prices cheaper, President Trump has also repealed many regulatory agencies and standards, including the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for American energy and manufacturing centers and the Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality Standards. How will the United States’ reversal on its stance on climate change influence less developed second and third-world countries and their climate change policies? Additionally, how will its repeal of greenhouse gas regulations influence other big contributors in deciding to reaffirm their own climate change policies?

Flying is the biggest way I add to my carbon footprint. Planes use a lot of fuel and release pollution into the air. To cut down on this, I can fly less and take trains or buses for shorter trips. If I do fly, picking direct flights helps because takeoff and landing create the most pollution. Some airlines are working on fuel-efficient planes, and I can also use carbon offset programs to support eco-friendly projects. A big question is how the aviation industry can make flying greener.

Renewable energy sources are cleaner ways of getting energy, basically anything but burning fossil fuels. There are many renewable energy sources that we can use to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. For example, here in British Columbia, we use hydro power, which means we get our energy from water. There are many forms of renewable energy such as wind energy, geothermal energy, solar energy, and bio energy. Some well know ways of using these sources of energy are wind turbines, or solar panels. Which turn wind and sun into energy. But what if you don't have control over what energy you use? Write to government officials! Donate to organisations who work to have clean energy! If we can get the majority of the planet using renewable energy, this will lower our greenhouse gas emissions by a lot!!

I completely agree with you.Promoting renewable energy is essential for reducing pollution and fighting climate change.It's great that places like British Columbia are already using hydro power and it's inspiring to see the many option we have,like wind,solar and geothermal energy.I also believe that encouraging the government we can make a big difference.

Pollution is a major environmental issue affecting air, water, and soil. It is primarily caused by human activities like industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, and improper waste disposal. Pollution harms ecosystems, endangers wildlife, and poses serious health risks to humans. Reducing pollution requires global cooperation and sustainable practices to protect our planet for future generations.

I agree that reducing pollution requires global cooperation. I think many people have a mentality that since other people wont reduce polution they wont either.

I feel very passionate about the fact that for us to calm down pollution, we all have to come together as a whole and change the things we are doing. We also have to think about other people because, in America, most people care about themselves and don't care about the people around them, which causes people to do reckless behavior.

I feel like this is an "obvious" thing to say, but It's definitely true. I think we should ask the question, "How do we convince many people on an international scale to contribute to stopping pollution?"

I like how you mentioned water and soil pollution because people are not very informed on those topics. The most discussed topic on pollution is air pollution but there's much more to it than just that. There's many more contributions to pollution that not a lot of people talk about like pollution caused by agriculture. I think that humans in general should be more educated on pollution and the way it affects so many aspects of the world from food, the ocean/marine life, air quality, health effects, and so much more. We also need to be more informed on the ways we can reduce our impacts on pollution. There's so much more to what we can do than just driving less with gas-run cars and not littering, and also the small things we can do in our daily lives to make a huge impact our how the environment turns out to be.

I agree that we should reduce pollution and that everyone needs to work hard to get someone and it will be worth it to protect or planet

I agree that pollution is one of the greatest challenges of our time.Industrial production and traffic are damaging the quality of the air and water every day.It is necessary for all of us,thought education and changes in habits to take steps towards sustainable development.Only we can make our planet safe for life.

Eu cred ca în ultimii ani oameni au murdărit foarte mult planeta dar cu puțin ajutor de la prieteni putem îngriji planeta, să reciclam pet-urile sa strângem gunoiul de pe spatiile verzi. Atenție!Nu doar noi avem de suferit, ci și animalele  și plantele. Să lucram împreună pentru o viată mai curată

The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, located in a developed coastal area of the United States, focuses on marine conservation and environmental management. In contrast, the Mi Teleférico Cable Car Project, situated in the mountainous region of Bolivia, primarily addresses urban development challenges by enhancing public transportation. These case studies highlight how projects can differ significantly based on regional context and sector-specific objectives.

ok

I want to bring up planes. I think planes are very important for life because they allow you to travel all around the world in just a few hours. I think planes are great but I think we should change something about them. We need to change the fact that planes are major polluters. Planes remain among the most polluting means of transport and something needs to be done. I propose electric planes. I have no idea how one would go about doing this, but this is just a suggestion. I want to bring this up because personally I travel and go on airplanes a lot and in return, I pollute a lot. This year, I calculated my carbon footprint and it said that it was 25,784 kgs of CO2 per year, compared to the average in California; 9,727 kgs of CO2 per year. You might be wondering why my carbon footprint is so high. It is because I travel so much. 18,311 of the 25,784 kgs of CO2 was from transportation. So overall, I think something needs to change about airplanes because I want to keep traveling but I dont want to be a major polluter.

I think create electric plane is a good idea but is almost impossible because autonomy of airplane would be greatly reduce and the weight too much .

i think that it will be hard to make an electric plane but i agree that it would help

In this world, people are still learning about the problems for combustion engines, and transportation such as cars planes and buses that have on the for the fossil fuels to our atmosphere. All transportation run by combustion engines releases mass amounts of fossil fuels into our atmosphere, which leads to climate change due to greenhouse gasses. Planes especially have a contribution to the fuels, since they are huge and need lots of power to take off and maintain speed while flying. Also, with millions of cars on the streets daily, fossil fuels are also being released at an alarming rate. Even electric vehicles require a lot of energy to produce which causes the release of fossil fuels. There are a few possibilities to where we can fix this problem. For one, taking public transportation is one of the best ways to begin shortening our carbon footprint. Two, buying electric vehicle takes a huge step from combustion engines, which will extremely shorten our carbon footprint. Although they require a lot of energy to produce, if used long enough, they are more efficient than combustion engines. And finally, making commercial electric planes will help reduce the carbon footprint of many travelers.
