Can we solve the climate crisis without confronting global inequities?
A recent study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA found that white residents in the USA produce more climate pollution than black or hispanic residents, but black and hispanic people are exposed to more air pollution.
And that is just the USA! Think about the global inequities in the "haves" and the "have nots".
And how are we going to lift people out of poverty without making the climate crisis even worse?
If you are a resident in a wealthy country, is it your responsibility to address both problems at once? And what would that look like in terms of national and international policy?

I think we should start taking care of our planet by not throwing our trash on the floor and start recycling for a healthier environment.
I completely agree with this idea. People need to be more educated on the dangers of trash and pollution because, the CO2 emissions rates increase because of this simple cause. If people were to be more mindful on what they leave out into the environment, we as a community would be much closer to our goal of a healthier environment. I also think this concept directly aligns with the effects of food waste on pollution. It is dangerous how food decomposes down and releases methane. These two ideas share a common theme that people need to be careful of what they are leaving behind.
I agree with you. you are right we have to start cleaning the trash from the floor.we should clean the dirty places and make earth clean.for ourselves
