    There are lots of things kids can do to stop climate change. But a very important way to stop climate change is to ride your bike or walk to close places. This is important because when you drive a car you pollute the air.But when you walk you are not polluting the air. Another way kids can stop climate change is by riding the bus to school.This helps because more people can take the bus at once instend of lots of car polluting the air. Only one car is polluting the air. That is some ways kids can stop climate change.

    We learned a lot about climate change. The most important thing we learned is to recycle paper. You should recycle paper because paper comes from trees. To get the paper you need to cut down the tree. Trees give you oxygen so you can breathe and they take carbon dioxide out of the air. As you can see, trees are very helpful to the environment! THANK YOU TREES:)

    Kids can use reusable water bottles because if you use plastic and throw it in the trash they would have to make a new plastic water bottle in a factory which puts carbon dioxide into the air which them is air pollution which then make’s the coral reefs die, because the acid goes into the ocean.that is why we should use reusable water bottles .

    You could turn of sinks when you are not using it. I think this is important because it’s a waste of water, and you have to pay for water usage.That is a way to slow down global warming.

    There are many great ways that kids can slow down Climate Change. One way is that kids can ride the bus and carpool with their friends. This will help because buses and cars put carbon dioxide into the air the less cars the less carbon dioxide. The second way is to not waste water. You can do this by turning off your water when you brush your teeth and when you take showers, make them shorter. This helps climate change because when you do these, you waste less water. These are examples of how kids can slow down climate change.

    I think that kids should either carpool or ride the bus. I think so because by using less vehicles there is less carbon dioxide in the air. Also by doing this you can can fit more people in the bus which also saves gas. Saving gas is important because it is a natural resource and is expensive to buy for your parents. That is why we say that you should either carpool or ride the bus.
