What are some tangible (concrete; can be seen) solutions in our everyday
life to mitigate (lessen or soften) the effects of climate change in our community
and around the globe? We can take public transportation such as buses, and
maxes. Vs driving are cars with only one or two people in it. We can recycle
more. Also we can ride are bikes, and walk, and jog from place to place. We can
light fires in are fireplace only when we need to. We can stop wasting electricity,
because we burn Cole to get it. We can use all of the space on are paper so we
use less and there for they don’t cut down as many trees so that means that the
trees will catch more carbon and pollution in the air. These are all things that we
can do as an individual to stop or lessen global climate change.
As a community we can make more bus routes and more max
transportation and we can build more safer bike routes and come up with
different styles of public transportations. This would encourage people to ride
their bikes, walk, jog, and so on, instead of driving cars. Or as a community we
can ride with friends to work and or to school and back. That way you save gas
and money all in one, and get to ride and talk to some one on the way to work
and from work. As a community we can recycle more and throw away less.
These are just a couple of suggestions that we can do as a community to help
stop global climate change, there are so many more thing that we can do as a
community but I don’t wont to over whelm you, because every small thing counts.
Around the globe there are many things that people are doing to help
stop globe climate change, but here are some things that I think will help stop
global climate change. We can stop fighting wars, because we use fire to malt
the bullets, guns, and other stuff, plus when are grenade or bombs go’s off it
releases fire, smoke, and ash in to the air. Did you know there’s a law that you
are only allowed to pilot this much unless you own a forest. I think we should only
allowed people to only polluted enough to keep and to get to and back from work
and that you are able to pollute more if you own forest, so to make that law a little
more strict.

There are tons of solutions to help the world. A hard, but possible solution would be to adapt the weather changes. We could improve the storage so they can store more food. We could use drip-irrigation. They could improve their utilization. They could give away more food. They could give away more water and help others grow more food. They could improve their education so that they can learn how to use certain tools at certain times. Doctors might be able to help the people by teaching them how to cure disease or a wounds. Maybe even train their animals where to go potty and not near a water source. And they could improve their food security.
First of all, we can stop pollution Factories can make less pollution We can save our energy. We cut down the time with the showers. We can use less water for dishes. We can get eco-friendly items. We could try to not waste any food. We can cover all of our leftover foods. Give food to the needy. Adopt kids that are from other countries. Don’t litter the ground and water. Not using a lot of car-activity. Try to use less electricity. Doing more outdoor-activities. Don’t do things that require a lot of energy. Volunteer at any animal shelters and homeless shelters. Export large quantities of food, water, and medicine to other countries in need. Give away supplies to foster kids. Make fundraisers and donations. Pick up litter around beaches.
We could recycle a lot of things. We could even upcycle. We could donate cans to R.E.A.L Exhibit. Believe it or not, we could clean the waters. We could save money by reusing things. We could get creative and use our imagination. Maybe even teach others to be creative with their stuff. We could also teach people about pollution and what harm it does to us, our community, and our environment. And then they might be able to spread the word to others and get more to care about the planet. We could teach people to go green. We might even to convince others to stop pollution and treat some of the damage that was left by pollution. It’s possible, but highly unlikely, that we could stop some factories from making pollution, or at least reduce the amount of pollution. Well these are some suggestions. I’m sure there’s more to add to this, but this is all I can think of.

This past Wednesday, my class went on another informative trip to Mercy Corps! This time, our focus was on climate change. The subject of climate change is well known, and even more known as ‘Global Warming’, which in fact is a false title. Climate change doesn't effect everyone equally though. I, myself experience little to
none of the effects of climate change, unlike the people of Niger, a country in west Africa. Within the last few years, a major water source for Niger, Lake Chad, the third largest lake in Africa, dried up to the point that it wasn't even in their country anymore! Now if that isn't bad, I don't know what is.
So, in Mercy Corps, they posed the question, "What are some tangible solutions in the everyday life to mitigate the effects of climate change in our community and the world?" The question itself seems so large, complicated and plan out intimidating, but really it just means "How can you be a little more eco-friendly in your life?". When I here this I think, 'Use less water', and ' Don't waste energy'. Simply taking shorter showers, or only using the necessary amount of water when brushing you teeth can be the answer. The answer for me is simple, just save what you can. Turning of lights when you leave a room, unplugging electronics when they aren't in use, even the littlest things will help. As a regular person, as a child I cannot change the
world, but as me, I can do my part.
Though, on a larger scale, from the point of a world leader or something, I could do a ton more. If I were able to, I would get a large group of world renown scientists to begin creating blue prints, models and such for extreme solar, hydro, and bio electricity systems. Where we could harness at least 10x more power from each. With this energy, we could power alternative transportation, such as subways, tram, etc. Which would save fuel, and our atmosphere. But for now, this won’t happen, for two reasons. Number one, I am not a world leader. Number two, this would cost a lot of money. Apparently, the movement cares more about money than a future.

What are some tangible solution in our everyday life to mitigrate the effect of climate change in our community and around the globe or world? It is hard to grow food if you do not have rain or water near your crops. If you do not have food, water, and rain than you will die and your crops or plants will die too. Our guy at MeryCorps was a herder and he really needed ensure environ metalstainability and eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. Plus HIV/AIDS malaria and other diseases. He needed food, water(for family and sheep too), rain, and crops to feed his people or family too.
Weather can be altered different from usual seasons. It also effects humans over using and poluting our resources. And a harmful problem causal by pollution. Climate change can effect humankind and can be the greatest threat too. Climate change can be pollution. The video that we watched about climate change was awesome.
There are eight different things that can change climate change. The first one is one is Achieve universal primary education. The second one is Develop a global partnership for development. The third one is Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. The forth one is Promate gender equality and empower women. The fifth one is Combat HIV/AIDS malaria and other diseases. The sixth one is Improve maternal health. Last but not least, number seven, Reduce child mortality. I forgot the eighth one?
Niger has a big problem. They do not have water because Lake Chad was the third largest lake but now it is,the smallest I think. And it shrank to the lowest point. Lake Chad is not in Niger and Chad because it is in another country. Niger has a problem with their crops because of the drought and locusts that ate all of their food and crops. Niger has to go get water for their family and crops too. Also Chad had to go get water, food, and crops. Why was it called Lake Chad?
There are a lot of people in the world that do not have any water at all. People can’t serve without food because it is very hard to go get it in other country or city. The United States of America has poverty too. It’s hard to get somewhere safe and protected too. There’s a place in downtown Portland that shares a place to stay. You have to leave the next day to find a job or something to do while you are outside.
THE END

A tangible solution to mitigate the effects of climate change
A solution to climate change is to not pollute. If no one pollutes there would not be any climate change. If every one recycles that would also help climate change. If no one is helping you, and nothing is working then change things you don’t need or use into things that can help your work. You should also store food and water for droughts. You should use bikes instead of cars. Turn off lights when you leave a room. Replace factories with wind turbines. You could use organic materials. Don’t waste food, and carpool more often. Those are some ways to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Save Our Planet
Hey, back with another blog. So it seems that the environment ain’t doing so well and because of that, the poverty rate has sky rocketing. So we have to come up with some solutions by answering this question: what are some tangible solutions in our everyday life to mitigate the effects of climate change in our community and around the globe.
Now I know What your thinking,”how can the environment be able to effect poverty?” Well it is, for example, the country of Niger was once a thriving country because of the water supply they got from Lake Chad, Africa’s (former) third largest lake, but from 1963 to 1998, most of the lake dried up and now it’s not even within Niger’s borders. So we all need to come up with some solutions to help the environment.
We can make it the law to plant like at least seven trees after cutting down one. We can stop factories from polluting the air and water. we can power houses with solar panels and/or with windmills. We can conserve energy. Use less oil, coal, gasoline, fossil fuel, etc. Turn off the power to electronics when not being used. Shut off the water when not needed. We can also use other alternative fuels for power such as geothermal, hydroelectric, biomass, etc. We can also make vehicles that run on alternative fuels. We can switch to natural refrigerants, so we can have both cool food and not eating the planet. We can Ride bikes or walk more often instead of taking the car or bus or train. We can use less hot water. We can use a compact fluorescent light bulbs(the twirly light bulbs).
And those are just the few of many things that would make a difference and help stop climate change and put an end to poverty. We can make a difference, we just gotta pitch in. So please try to make at least one of the suggestions I gave a reality. Or you can come up with one on your own, ether way we’ll make a difference, and save millions of lives.

We can use less pollution in our daily lives. We could use more natural things like the paper we use and stuff, which will also use less pollution. So that even if the climate effects certain parts of the world it won’t as bad, because there is less pollution. And there would be less things to hard it, it would only be the climate and we would play as big of a part in the destruction of the world. So we could get certain corporations to use less things that pollute the earth. And get them not to give off as many fumes that are harmful to the world. And we could use more sunlight for stuff instead of electricity. And we could do the little things like turn off lights when we leave a room. Or we could use recycled pencils or paper. We also could remember to recycles our plastic grocery bags and paper ones as well. Because the little things count. And we could make sure we through our trash in the garbage or recycle instead of just tossing them around on the ground. Because we really need to help to not pollute the earth. We could volunteer at places that go around and pick up trash and stuff to help our community. Because if we don’t do something about all the pollution and stuff then the world and our home could like slowly disintegrate. because all of the animals would die, and the plants would no longer be able to live in such a polluted environment and if all the plants die then all the people die. Because we need them to breath. So doing all these little or big things to help the world, environment, or just your community are not just saving the world but their saving you too. And that's all I got.
