Clean Development

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.

The Problems with Pollution

makanayoung

Humans are emitting harmful and poisonous substances into our atmosphere and as an overall result of this, we have pollution. As many people try to solve this problem, it only seems to keep growing bigger and bigger. If we want this problem to stop before it is to late, we must act upon it now. Instead of driving a car and emitting CO2 into the atmosphere, ride a bike, get some exercise! No fossil Fuels.  There are many ways that us humans could do to help so that we can keep our atmosphere clean.

I agree Makana! I think that humans are the main cause of the pollution that is taking over our atmosphere. Some may say that the solution is to drive electric cars, but I agree with what you said, for those who can't afford it, a bike or walking is a great solution! That way, humans can stay healthy and the we can keep the world around us healthy.

I also think that other ways we can help the pollution is to teach children how to recycle and compost. There is a lot of trash that is polluting the planet and if we educate the public about how to handle their trash, we can reduce it. Also by getting rid of things like plastic bags and other unnecessary plastic products will significantly reduce the pollution on Earth.

I also agree, We are putting way to many harmful substances into our environment. And to a result of that we have the green house gases that are harming our planet. If we want to stop it we should cut down on many thing like, using fossil fuels, factories, and many other things. We can also use a bikes, trains buses, and walking instead of driving everywhere.

I agree with Makana, and I would like to add on the her discussion post because I think this topic really important. One way you can reduce your carbon footprint at home, is by switching to led lighting because it doesn’t contain any harmful substances and it affordable. Another way is when you buy new appliances, do some research to see what appliances are bad and which ones are good, because the will reduce a good amount of your carbon footprint.
