Mercy Corps Climate Change - MaMi

We went to mercy corps and they gave us a question that we have to answer. So I have to answer in 350 words write: what are some tangible solutions in our everyday life to mitigate the effects of climate change in our community and around the globe. Well tangible means realistic or something around that meaning. So we could ride bikes more instead of using cars. We could use our air conditioners less or have them set closer to the outside temperature. We could use sun powered foil microwaves outside instead of real ones. We can use more solar, wave, geothermal and hydrothermal energy. We can cook on a grill. These are all tangible ideas. We could also plant trees witch can absorb the gasses that cause climate change. Unfortunately we already have a problem with keeping our forests around. Maybe those two problems are connected. Maybe because of deforestation making less trees that absorb the gasses caused climate change and if we fix the deforestation problem we could fix climate change to. There are probably a lot of other problems also connected to climate change. We could also lessen the effects by helping the people being affected directly. We could teach them about new technology's that we created that can help them adapt with the problems of climate change. We could also create new ways to save water and energy. In the video they showed basically a bucket that has poles coming out of it. Then the poles have holes in them which slowly releases the water onto the plants. This device saved time and effort to go and water every plant. It also evenly watered the plants which avoided over watering and avoided under watering. It was a great invention that could help people deal with climate change. We could also build solar powered pantries with a air conditioner to grow plants that can no longer deal with the temperature change. We could move water to the lake that once was in niger, to make it bigger and back to its normal size to help niger grow its plants and give it a easier water recource.
