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!

There’s so much that kids can do but thee are also so many adults in the world. Adults can do even more things than kids can like getting an electric car or using public transportation to get to work.

Adults could build more walkable cities. That would put less carbon dioxide into the air than using cars.

Adults need to take a hint from the kids, to help slow down climate change. But the more us kids work together to talk about it, the more adults will understand it is a matter of our quality of life. They will understand we cannot do everything ourselves, and they need to help us by building wind turbines to harness wind energy, and buy solar panels to use the suns energy. We need to show them that we all have to unite to help slow down climate change! 🙂
