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!

Kids Against Climate Change 
Adults can plant trees in there backyard and they can slow down there driving and not idle as much. Planting trees helps because trees absorb carbon dioxide and give out oxygen. When you drive faster, you burn more fuel so you are putting more CO2 in the air. Also you can replace your air conditioning with ceiling fans. Ceiling fans use less energy than air conditioning. HELP SAVE THE EARTH!!!!

Drive less or carpool:By driving less you are reducing global warming. Carpooling is also another good way to stop global warming because you are using less energy and fuel. When you drive, Co2 is coming out of the car.

Avoid products with lots of packaging:Just don’t buy products with a lot of packaging. When you buy such products you will end up throwing the waste material in the garbage,which then will help in filling landfills and pollute the environment. The packaging is usually made of plastic which is made of oil,one of earth’s natural resources. Why make more plastic if you don’t need it

A great way to help stop climate change is to air dry laundry instead of using the dryer then it does not use electricity.

Adults should turn their thermostat down 2, and in the summer you turn you thermostat 2 up. Almost half the energy in our homes are used for cooling and heating. If you do this you will save 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. With just that little adjustment.
