Mercy Corps Climate Change - CaJo

What are some tangible solutions in our every day life to mitigate the effects of climate change in our community and around the globe?

We could use less cars. We can show this by carpooling to work or school. People riding their bikes or walking to school or work. Bike riding and walking let’s people exercise and put less pollution into the air. If a person’s job is far away, the MAX is a lot better than the bus. The bus puts a lot more pollution into the air.

People use more stuff than they need to use. Recycling and reusing will give us less pollution in the air. Using less plastic water bottles or refilling them can help reduce pollution. If the amount of paper used is reduced, then fewer trees will need to be cut down. Trees make the air good to breathe. We could stop using trees, but we could also plant trees after we cut them down. But did you ever think that one day all the tree’s are going to be gone? If we keep cutting down the trees that's going to happen.

We can recycle so many things, like the plastic 6 pack rings. If we don’t cut them and throw them away. What do you think will happen? Do you think it’s going to sit in a land fill forever? No its going to get stuck around some poor little animals neck and kill them. What did they ever do to you? So cut them of. You could save a animals life.

Did you know your ever day house cleaner can pollute the air? Well it does! It could spill out in the ocean and kill a lot of cute little sea animals. And make them dick and die. We never think that Windex can harm cute sea animals. There are cleaners out there that can be harmful to you , animals, and the world.

Did you think that all these things could be harmful to our town, state, country, world. Well read all of these and see what you think your answers are.
