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 adults should build wind turbines. Wind turbines use green energy so you don’t have to burn fossil fuels. When factories burn fossil fuels, it releases a powerful greenhouse gas called carbon dioxide, when this gas gets into the air, it helps speed up climate change. However, wind turbines use green energy, so you don’t have to burn fossil fuels. Same thing goes for solar panels. We need the adults help so we can have a brighter future.

Couldn’t they also use other forms of power rather than fossil fuels.

Adults can start helping today. Not only kids can help, so can adults. If we can get a lot of adults doing stuff to help Earth, they can influence other kids to help save Earth, so if you have a lot of kids and adults helping it will actually make a change. I hope adults can continue helping our Earth to make it as beautiful as it once was.

All kids and adults should know the damage they are doing if they don’t recycle, or if they litter. It’s up to us to decide our future

When you get light bulbs you could buy LED lights. Not only do they use less energy the don’t produce heat!

Adults can get LED lighting for their homes. doing so would be a win-win, because LED lighting uses less electricity, so the Earth is suffering a little less, and so are you on hot days because LEDs don’t emit so much heat.

Adults should carpool with friends for long trips and ride bikes for short trips. If adults want their kids to have a good future they have to help slow down climate change

Adults should stop using cars so much, they should carpool with other people or ride bikes. Using cars puts lots of CO2 into the air, which of course we are trying to stop. Also, more adults should get solar panels. Sure, it costs a lot to get them installed, but they save money AND use energy from the sun, meaning they aren’t using electricity!
