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.

Green Energy and Education about Climate Change
One thing that needs to happen so that global warming isn’t a problem is that people need to be educated, and they have to want to be educated. Education is a powerful tool which will make people more aware of their actions, and then the newly educated people can spread the word to others. A few key things that people need to be educated on is: how much our activities affect climate change, how climate change will affect our society, and lastly people need to be educated about green energy, and the things we can do to stop global warming.
It has been proven that humans are the main reason for climate change. How and Why? It is because we release a lot of CO2 when we burn gasoline, burn coal, drive cars, fly, and do other things. Climate change has many different effects on our society and earth. Animals are moving to new places because of this, and they are bringing new diseases. Many animals are going extinct, this messes with ecosystems. Wildfires are becoming more common, and glaciers are melting, the melting glaciers are very dangerous for polar bears.
There are ma ny things we can do to help and prevent the worsening of climate change. We can educate ourselves and others, but we can also start using green energy more, and bettering our everyday habits. Some forms of green energy are solar power, wind power, bioenergy, and many other types of energy. We can also do little things every day to reduce our CO2 emissions; we can stop using ziplock bags, always use a reusable water bottle, walk or bike when we are able to, recycle, compost, not leave the water on when we are brushing our teeth, and do much more. The list goes on and on! It's time to educate ourselves and make a change.
