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.

what do you think about plastic?
It is really bad for the environment it we should not be using it so much.
It is very harmful to the environment. It affects lots of wildlife and is made of petroleum in giant factories which doesn't help us with climate change. We need to move to more reusable and biodegradable materials soon.
plastic is not good for the environment especially for the ocean there are many other ways to package a product like i heard of this type of cardboard that has these plant seeds in it so once you get your product you plant the cardboard and after watering it for a while it should grow into something and for liquids you can also use cardboard or metal tins like cans and reduse the amount of plastic being used
I think theres so many actions that we can take towards eliminating/reducing our use of plastic. In a lot of stores you see candy that is double wrapped in plastic or kids toys that different pieces are separated by plastic bags and such. It's really sad to see how much we overuse it and how that effects the environment around us. We can substitute this for paper or instead reuse recycled materials so we don't keep producing more plastic and expanding on this issue.

I mean its bad for the environment but then again we use it everyday and we could reduce that use by maybe reusing a water bottle or recycle the plastic. We also could just go around your town or where ever you live and pick up trash such as plastic. it would help the environment a little every piece we pick up
Plastic as much as it is helpful it has such a destructive side effects. So I believe that we can use more recyclable plastics than just a one time use plastic that you throw away often.
We use plastic for its convenience. It's a whole lot easier for us to grab a drink from somewhere in a plastic cup than to make our own. That being said, we need to try and cut down on the use of plastic as much as possible. It hurts our communities, wildlife, and our environment as a whole.
it would better to not use plastic and use paper
Yes, plastic alternatives would be a good idea. Plastic bad, plastic hurt Earth, plastic kill plant and animal.
Plastic hurt monkey, monkey sad, monkey lose wife, monkey hate plastic
Reusing it or recycling could help those. We should not litter because the plastic could hurt animals. We should also find other alternatives to plastic.
My opinion of plastic is that we use it too much (at least in the USA). I heard that in some places in Europe that in markets a lot of things like produce don't come in plastic packaging and shoppers are encouraged to bring their own reusable shopping bag. I like this implementation because plastic seems so unnecessary a lot of the time, and is only used because it is cheap. I agree that we should turn toward more sustainable products and be avid about recycling plastic if/when it is necessary.
