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.

Reusable Water Bottles?
Okay so let me just say that most of the discussion on this board is mainly about large things like solar panels, and wind energy. Let me say something that we can all do though. Reusable water bottles for instance. They are very inexpensive and can greatly reduce the amount of plastic waste. I personally think that everyone should use a reusable water bottle to save the environment.
that is so true
I agree, by using reusable water bottles, we are saving the environment. We are putting less plastic not only into the world and the streets, but also into the ocean. Using a reusable water saves the environment one step at a time. Less plastic in the oceans, means more turtles are being saved, as well as animals such as Jellyfish who get caught in it, and Whales who consume it.
I totally agree with this, doing something so small could really make an impact on our environment. Some people don't understand that one plastic water bottle DOES make a difference in our oceans and streets. If these large companies stopped the production of plastic water bottles, who knows what our world would look like today. Also, our communities could increase the amount of water filling stations around us too. Reusable water bottles are so underrated and should be used everywhere. We could really save our oceans and marine life by doing this.
I agree 100% it's just the matter of being consistent with using it even when you feel like just grabbing a plastic water bottle.
I always see videos of people laughing at how many plastic water bottles are in their room, and it's so frustrating! I don't think people should treat this as a joke, it's a real problem with an achievable solution. It's an achievable solution that should be treated as one.
I completely agree. Lots of people don't even realize there is a massive pile of plastic and trash about the size of Texas, drifting in the Pacific Ocean and is increasing in size every year. Using more reusable bottles and other containers can have a huge improvement on our environment. Big things have small beginnings and I think that most people don't believe that trying to help clean your environment one step at a time could actually work.
I also agree. By using reusable water bottles, we save the environment. There are always ways you can help pitch in to help. People need to understand how important this is and do something about it.
i'm agree with you. i always use reusable water bottles. i think we must start with little things and then we can talk about big problems.
I agree. I think we can do lots for the environment
I agree that everyone should try to use reusable water bottles. However, I can see why some people may not want to. Speaking from personal experience, I am constantly forgetting my water bottle in various locations. So, although it is environmentally inconsiderate, I can see how one might enjoy buying a cheap plastic water bottle then tossing it.
I agree that using a reusable water bottle is something that everyone who is able to buy one should do. They save loads of trash and plastic from filling up our oceans and streets, and are more efficient in the long run. Furthermore, most places have water fountains or water re fillers where you can easily re fill them which adds to the convenience. My family has always enforced using reusable water bottles, and I think that this is something we should all do.
