We have all heard about how big companies burning oil are causing climate change, but regular people can’t really stop that from happening. You may just think, oh well there is nothing I can do about it. Well, that’s wrong. Every person on earth plays a role in climate change, so every person must play a part in stopping it.
Every person, including children, can start with simple things that still make a big difference. It is as easy as unplugging unused appliances like a video game console, or not charging your cell phone for so long. This way you are using less energy, so less energy needs to be produced, meaning less fossil fuels are being burned. Another easy solution is just walk or ride your bike. It’s as simple as that. Instead of driving to school or downtown, ride your bike. Not only will you be helping the environment, but you will also be getting exercise. An additional solution is not only recycle, but reduce what you buy. Instead of buying many plastic water bottles, most of which end up in landfill, just get a reusable water bottle and drink the water from  your tap. If it is not clean enough, invest in a water filter. This will save you money in the long run and you will be playing a huge role in helping the earth.
As you can see, there are many easy things you can do to help our planet. Stop waiting for other people to take action. If every person on Earth did this, nothing would ever get done. Humans helped to create this mess, let's try to fix it.
