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.

Universal Education

Tylerwong24

Universal education is still a big issue in today's world. It is best to focus on education in rural and poorer areas, especially those with poor or no education at all. We can also build schools in the most environmentally friendly ways. It is also best to train more and more teachers and professors for the future ahead with more schools and educational facilities.

I completely agree that universal education is huge, by providing education to poorer districts it an help level the playing field and provide equal opportunities to everyone. Building schools in environmentally/sustainable ways is super important to. My school uses wind and solar technology to provide energy in a clean way which could be used in other schools too.

That’s true. By building environmentally friendly schools and making them open to everyone we can teach more people about carbon footprint and how to lower it to help the environment. Especially for poorer districts.

Yes I totally agree. The school districts have to start investing in making their facilities greener. My school district passed an agreement to cut all fossil fuels used in the Seattle public school system by 2040 which is pretty cool and I hope other districts do the same. I also agree that we need to have universal education for everyone as well as education on green energy to teachers and students and all new schools built should be fossil fuel free from the start.

While I agree that having greener schools and making sure education is accessible is important, I feel like one of the reasons that some people can't go to school is because the schools they live near are over capacity.  It's hard to fix that problem without making a bunch of new schools closer to a bunch of different types of neighborhoods, not just upper and middle class ones.
