One way we as kids can slow down climate change is by conserving energy. You can do that by turning off light, computers, and other electric appliances.

Kids all around the world can slow down global warming.One way you can slow down global warming is,start using reusable water bottles.If you don’t it can speed up global warming because you’re burning fossil fuel.Now think about how much carbon dioxide is in the air.This really is terrible for our earth.

After learning about global warming we found out that one of the most important things kids can do is to reduce the amount of electricity they use. Even a tiny thing like turning off the lights can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide put into the air.As well as lower your parents eletric bill which means more vacations for you. Every time you use electricity power plants burn fossil fuel. This pollutes the air. As you can see reducing the amount of electricity you use can help the environment.

Kids can do a lot about climate change. One important thing to do is to recycle hard plastics. It is good to recycle hard plastics because when we recycle the hard plastics less carbon dioxide goes into the air ,but when we make new plastic we burn more fossil fuels which means a lot of carbon dioxide is put into the air. That is why it is important to recycle hard plastics.

We learned a lot about climate change, and thought of ways to help! For example to reduce the amount of electricity we use! We can do this by turning off lights when you are not in the room.You can also unplug chargers when your not using it. Power plants burn coal to make electricity wich puts CO’2 in the air. CO’2 in the air causes global warming to increase.

We kids should spend more time outside. We think because spending time outside is healthy for you. When you spend time outside you don’t use any electricity in your house. That’s very good when it comes down to slowing down climate change. (YAY TO OUTSIDE!)

We learned a lot about climate change. One thing we learned is that kids should unplug wires when they are not being used. Kids should do this so we can slow down global warming. This would slow down global warming because if you leave plugs in the outlet it uses energy which then wastes the energy that has stayed in the outlet. This energy is called phantom power, or standby energy. Power plants burn coal to get the energy which then puts CO2 into the atmosphere. Unplug outlet to slow down global warming!

Kids have the power to slow down climate change. The most important thing they can do is unplug plugs that aren’t being used. You should do this because up to 10 percent of what your parents get billed for is stuff you turn off but you don’t unplug. That means the electric plants have to make more electricity which releases carbon dioxide. This speeds up global warming. Do you want the planet to warm up? If you don’t, then RECYCLE!!!!! 🙂

We are learning a lot about climate change. We know that we can slow down global warming by, using less energy. We can use less energy by turning off the lights when we leave the room. Another way we can save energy is by carpooling so we don’t leave as big as a carbon footprint. Even though this may not seem like a big deal it is because we can help save animals and plants by helping to slow down global warming.

We learned a lot about climate change. The most important thing we learned was to use CFL light bulbs. This is important because normal lightbulbs use more energy. Making energy releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Kids and adults can slow down climate change. There are many ways to slow down climate change. One of the ways is to carpool a tad more. because the people are only taking one car. Another way is to reduce electricity because the factories burn fossil fuels to make electricity. As you can see there are many ways to slow down climate change.
