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.

We can all try to cut down on waste we create, making less trash that ends up in landfills each year.
Yes I agree with this. I have a couple ideas on how to do so. First off we can all (if access to it) use laptops, computers, phones,etc to take notes on instead of paper sheets in order to prevent use of papers at school. Also to stop using grocery plastic bags at stores. Instead use reusable bags or even no bags at all. Lastly something small would be to just throw stuff in the recycling bin when done with it:)
I agree with both KG1StanleyJ and tompaul04 and I would also like to add the idea of benefits for those with little to no waste in trash cans each week and only use the recycle and compost bins.
