People have known for a while that the course we are on isn't the right one and yet here we are. Kids are obsessed with getting the new tech, so i'm wonder what you guys really think? Do we think the world can change our habits? Also I was thinking, we've discussed changing to solar power and eco friendly cars, buying organically but what about families that cannot afford those things?

I think we can change but it's a matter of getting the people responsible for those changes on board. I feel they know exactly what to do to make the world more sustainable but they choose not to because it would be a great cost to the economy and their profits. There are just a ton of political blockades to reaching our goal.

I personally do not believe that the world can change its habits because we are so used to living the way we choose without thinking about the effects it may cause on us and our planet in the long run. I believe that the government should play a huge role in providing eco-friendly resources to families that cannot afford them. Just because someone is unable to afford something that will benefit our planet, does not mean that they should be to blame for our earth dying.

The idea behind Eco friendly cars is great but it has some problems. The first being if its electric many places still don't have enough charging stations and the cars don't hold the charges for long. The second problem that really affects me is Eco friendly cars are smaller vehicles. I prefer bigger vehicles like trucks because i feel safer in them.  I don't know if I would be willing to give that up to drive an Eco Friendly car.

Can the world change in terms of climate change? Yes, I believe the world can change its habits around polluting and warming the earth. This can be changed with politics.
          Politics shape the City, State, Country, and world that we live in. So why can’t politics help slow down the process of killing our world around us? Well it can, an article named “Global Warming Case Closed” by Jeff Goodell provided scientific facts showing what human activity has done to our climate. This article also showed how the governments around the world do not want to help. For example The United States government has many “deniers” of climate change sitting in powerful positions in the government. People change with laws and enforcement especially when money is involved. For example I live in the Bay Area most of the cities in the Bay Area have a 10 cents bag fee. When this was first enforced about 2-3 years ago people were upset. They did not want to have the responsibility to carry a bag every time they went shopping. The flip side is if you do not have a bag and you want a bag yo u pay 10 cents. When I go to the grocery store now  most people have a reusable bag. This was a small local change that happened in my local town level government and most people have changed to bringing a bag in only a short 2-3 year time period.
           Small actions like these do change the way we do things because people can change. When we as humans see something is morally wrong like climate change which we may not live to see the worst consequences of we change. Change can happen and Politics have a huge role to play in climate change.

I personally can see that the world is capable of changing its habits, and everyone wants to have it change but not many people are actually trying to make it happen. In many ways we as an individual can make small steps towards making this change happen, but getting everyone on board with it might take years. Then by the time everyone gets it the emission will be higher than when it was originally brought up for all of us to change our habits.

I think it is too far fetched for the world to completely turn all of this around at this point. It would take more people than are willing.

I personally believe that parts of the world is capable of changing their habits, but I do not think that the entire world is capable of changing. Whether it is because they do not want to or they do not know how some people are just not capable of changing.  It would be nice to see the world develop into a more eco-friendly place , but with the world evolving into a place with new technology coming out all the time I do not think that people would give up their comfort to help the environment.

Yes we can change, I think that every little thing that we do will help or hurt the environment. You have to think about what your doing to pick weather you want to help or hurt. Like taking a 30 min shower will make your carbon footprint compared to a 10 min shower. I think the little things can really help our environment

We could change, but people would have to be willing to. People would have to try to do as much as they can to help and be responsible for their actions. It would take everyone to be able to stop all the bad changes currently happening in our environment.
