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.

recycle and compost
A lot of people forget how much recycling is important to our environment. There are so many advantages there are for doing it, not only does help cut down on air pollution but also saves energy. Compost helps with plant diseases, it also reduces methane
Yes that is a good point everyone should compost and recycle. I do at my house and not only does compost cut down on waste but it is free fertilizer for a garden/flower patch.
I agree with both of you. Composting and recycling is very important for the planet. As you said , it improves many things that are really benefiting for humans. Although this is just a small thing we can do, it really helps.
I think your point is very valid and I agree about what compost helps with, but how can people be reminded to compost? I think that people could be reminded to compost by in all parks, streets, cities, they should have a compost bin to put the compost in, instead of trashcans.
Composting is a very sustainable and smart thing for our Earth. Something that has not been brought up yet is that it helps reduce Greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute the Earth warming. https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/overvi … ouse-gases
This is a good topic. Recycling can dramatically reduce your carbon footprint. I recycle at my house and it reduces our carbon footprint by quite a bit. My family brings our bottles to a bottle redemption center and we get paid for doing so. This is just one way to recycle and it's very lucrative.
