Kids Against Climate Change 
We kids should be slowing down climate change because they’re many disaster that are being caused by climate change so even if your parents don’t recycle teach them so we can’t burn that many fossil fuels just to make one machine so we kids should recycle most often.

I think that kids should use other forms of transportation instead of cars.Cars burn fossil fuels .If we ride bikes,scooters, or something else like that,we would be putting a lot less pollution into the air.The pollution would cause the greenhouse effect, and that causes global warming.Global warming causes climate change.So if we use other forms of transportation,in the end, It can help slow down climate change.

everyone one should recycle and reuse things. If we reduce reuse recycle we could save trees and trees take in carbon dioxide and make it in to oxygen. If we reuse for instant plastic bottles we won’t use as much oil which then wont produce as much carbon dioxide in the air.

I agree with you. When I was younger, I used to think that it was better to use disposable water bottles because you can recycle them but now I know that I takes a lot of energy to make disposable water bottles and that it’s better to use reusable water bottles.

For kids to slow down climate change is that they should tell parents to recycle ,and to use bikes instead of cars.Also they should turn off all electronics when they are not in need.

Reducing, reusing and recycling are all great ways to help slow down global warming. We should grow our own food, this way trucks dont have to ship the food to stores. When the trucks ship the food to the stores it puts Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere. The less Carbon Dioxide in the air, the less it helps spped up global warming

I totally agree. if we plant trees and recycle paper we will have less co2 in the air than oxygen because the trees help suck in co2 and let out oxygen.

kids can slow down climate change by reducing, reusing, and recycle. This helps because we don’t have to keep buying food which wastes money. You know when you eat fish. The plastic over the tray. Plastic companies have to burn items to make it. If you recycle and then reused.

I agree that reducing, reusing and recycling are all great ways to help slow down global warming. I think that we can also slow it down by growing our own food. A lot of the food you buy from the store has been shipped to the store by a truck or some other vehicle that emit carbon dioxide (Co2) into the air. If we grow our own food, we wont have to support the earth destroying company and like a house with no supports, it will fall down.
