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.

Trashes ; yuck !
In Paris, there's a lot of cans, paper etc.. on the streets and sometimes, the garbage collectors in France do strikes, so it actually STINKS in the city. So what I suggest is to do with family or friends a walk in the city and put all the stuff on the roads in the bin. One time, with friends, we did the same thing, but on the beach : we took garbage bags and did a race, but in the bags. We used some waste that was on the beach as obstacles, and at the end of the day, we put the waste used as obstacles in the garbage bag. So that's my idea : do you think the same as me ? Tell me what you think by clicking on "click to reply". Have a good day !
I live in a small town in New Mexico called Carlsbad. Trash here can be a really big problem also, especially in the neighborhood that I live in. I totally agree with you about cleaning with family and friends. It makes it more fun, and it would definitely help the environment a lot. I hope you have a good day!
the trash waste is ridiculous because walking around my town i see a lot of trash. it just is stupid how people can just throw out trash where ever they want because it not their job to clean up after them and people need to stop being lazy and just pick up after yourselves and recycle more.
I think it's very good that we all help each other by keeping our environment clean. It would be best if all of us would just throw trash in the bins instead of on the beach, which is ridiculous. It's no problem walking to the next bin. For example, we use so much of our time on our phones we could take 10 seconds out of that time to recycle.
I live in Tahiti, a pacific island of French Polynesia. I think education is the basis of clean development. When I run, I see a lot of trash on the beach. We see association who clean it, but it still dirty. The comportement of the population is the main problem, don't get the problem. It can be explain by the numbers oh inhabitant... . I'm agree with kristinhuld, but in some district recycle is not possible. So government have to invest in recycling.
I live out in the country so I don't see as much trash as there would be in the city nor is the smell half as bad, but I love your idea of making a fun way to clean the beach and help keep Earth clean. I think it would be super beneficial if everyone just picked up one piece of trash every time they left their house; It doesn't have to be an all day chore if every person pitched in even a small amount of effort. As my mom always says, "many hands make light work."
