The Millenium Development Goals, agreed to by every member country of the United Nations in 2000, call for the worldwide eradication of poverty and hunger, universal education, gender equality and huge improvements in health by 2015: two years ago!!
Can we do this without making the planet warmer?
Let's think big and imagine how we can confront the climate crisis in a way that is realistic about the other major problems that we face as a planet and as a species on it.

How we can reduce the contamination
We are Fátima Suárez, Alex Guerrero and Julio López, students of the high school I.E.S. de Sar, and we are going to talk about the contamination and how we can reduce it with simple things.
We think that we can reduce contamination if we use public transport instead our cars, because we reduced the CO2. When we go in a public transport, we go more people at the same time that we would go in our cars. We save money because the public transport is cheaper that the car, you only have to pay one time but if you go by car you are spending on the gasoline wherever you go.
In the other hand, we think the best way to don’t contaminate is walk. When you walk you don’t spend money in the transport and you do exercise, free too. Evidently, if you have to go far you have to use any kind of transport like train, plain, your own car or bus.
The goal is reduce the pollution in the big cities, for achieve a better environment in our streets, and for the end of the most common problems like the global warming and its effects.
Another way to get a better environment is recycle. It’s som ething that everybody can take part. You only have to divide the diferent types of garbage
(like plastic, organic, glass, paper and paperboard), and then put it in the correct place.
The silence is very important for have a good life, because the noise pollution produces stress and others psychological discomforts.
In summary: use the public transport if you can, because it reduces your contamination. Recycle, it’s easy. Don’t make too much noise, for a better quality of your life and for the entire world’s life.
Hi, I am Valerie, I am totally agree with you. Now, the air pollution is one of the most serious problem that people need to think. More and more people are buying a private cars because of the convenience and fast to the destination. The air is becoming worse and worse. The high part of my footprint also is the transportation. I encourage people to by more bus and public transportation and less private cars. Actually, walk is a good way to transport also good for your body. If we do not reduce the pollution, global warm will become more and more serious and destroy the earth. Recycling could improve the environment and save the resources. Moreover, I hope people could use bicycles as their main transportation.
