Kids Against Climate Change 
It is very important to recycle. When you throw recyclable objects into the trash, your doing the wrong thing. When you recycle, companies can use the same object to make another thing. They would burn a lot less fossil fuels. Such as, coal, oil, ect, ect. If you don’t recycle companies will have to burn a lot more fossil fuels to make things. When fossil fuels go into the air they are only helping global warming become worse.

Kids can slow down climate change by planting more trees. If kids plant trees, there will be less CO2 in the air. There will be less because trees take in the CO2

I think you are right sofia. The pollution due to clearcutting is causing more co2 in our air, this effects us because by the time we are adults, we will not have enough clean air for us. At Least not as much.

We should all recycle things so we don’t need to make a lot more of those products. Factories pollute the air. We should also reuse and get reusable items. Then we don’t need buy more of those items and we can save money and the Earth.

Kids can help by Recycling more often instead of putting everything in the garbage. Kids can turn of electricity when it is not needed. Kids can help by telling others to help the Earth too. Kids can help by not going on electronics as often. Kids can tell a parent to try and stop smoking. Kids can help by riding bikes to school or even walk, its good for you and the environment.

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.
