    Kids can use the three R’s. Reduce! Reuse! Recycle! Adults can use the three R’s to! And everyone can help to stop global warming! You can also ride your bike to get to short distances. Help stop global warming!

    Kids can recycle! Remember that clean paper only goes in the blue bin and hard plastics go in the green bin. You can also turn off lights when they are not being used. Don´t use unnecessary electricity!

    A good way to help slow down climate change is to plant a tree. It is a good idea because one tree can absorb over one ton of carbon dioxide in its lifetime!

      I agree,two other ways are to use car less because it put a lot of pollution in the air. Turn off the light when you are not using it.

      I totally agree with you Livia since we put so much carbon dioxide in the air with cars,eltricity like power plants,and everything else that burns fossil fuels can be absorbed by a tree because it takes in the CO2 and gives us oxygen.Great isńt it!

    Kids can do so much. They can recycle objects like water bottles and paper that you are not using anymore. Kids can also ask parents to carpool with friend instead of more people putting co2 in the air. You can also take the bus instead of someone else driving you. 50 people on one bus pollutes less than people driving 50 cars.

      I agree with you because maybe our parents didn’t know about global warming when they were in school. So us kids can teach parents about global warming!

      Mikey, I agree with you 110%. This is good to do because using cars less and turning off lights uses less fossil fuels which is causing global warming. Another thing we can do is to recycle
