We can do a lot to slow down climate change, but so can adults! Sometimes they just need a friendly reminder….
Ruby and friends in the United States tell adults “Give us hope!” You can sing along!
Give us hope. Global warming’s a problem.
Can you see? Look at the air!
Can you feel? The temperature is rising!
Give us hope, and kids’ll show you the way!
Help stop global warming and create a good future for kids around the world!

I think that adults should buy hybrid cars because hybrid cars pollute less than regular cars. Adults should also get solar panels to put on there roof because that pollutes less and you wouldn’t have a low electric bill.

Adults can buy solar panels because it collects heat from the sun and turns it in energy so that we can use it.

Meline I totally agree with you 100% since regular cars burn more gas and put carbon dioxide in the air they should use hybrid cars so they don´t pollute to much in OUR air.

Adults can buy electric cars, install solar panels and unplug chargers when they’re not being used.

People could alternate energy like George said but instead of water and wind we could use the sun like Ms.Christie-Blick’s solar panels.

Adults really should do that it’s very productive. But Adults also should listen and see that global warming is really happening. Even world leaders understand.

You are right Tommy. That is why I am glad that in Paris, the world leaders have reached an agreement about global warming. Adults can also arrange carpools if their children are going to similar places.

Adults can get hybrid or electric cars, so their is less carbon dioxide going into the atmosphere. They can use an altarnitive energy sorce’s such as: Solar Power, Wind Power ,and Water Power.

Although they are expensive, hybrid cars are a great idea because they use less fossil fuels and that can slow down global warming.

I agree. Hybrid and electric cars are better than gas-powered cars. That way there will be less CO2 in the air. I like your idea about using alternative energy sources. That would also help cut down the carbon dioxide level in our air. Recycling is also always reliable. Recycling pollutes a little bit, but it pollutes a lot less than throwing things out.

Megan, I never thought about using hybrid cars. Itś true they use less carbon dioxide so it would be avanced and not damaging the Earth.

Adults can put solar panels on their roof, take the bus instead of driving and cook dinner by using the stove or microwave instead of the grill.

I agree also, adults can use carpool more when driving.
They can also try and avoid products with a ton of packaging

That is good. But they should still recycle to. They also put there kids on the bus and not drive them.

Yeah I agree. If you car pool les pollution will go in the air. Less cars, Less pollution! This will help slow down global warming. Also For short distances. Walk, bike, Ect. all of these things will slow down Global warming and take carbon dioxide out of the air!

Use alternative energy, such as solar wind and tide whenever possible.
