How to help (climate change)
climate change
How can you help battle climate change?
Climate change is a huge problem and you might feel like you can’t make a difference, but you can still help in many ways. If enough people take action it will make a difference, so be one of the people who help. Sulking and crying about it is not going to help anything. Did Greta Thunberg just sit there?
Which brings me on to the first way you can help protest! There's many protests and walks you can go on to try get politicians to do something about this very important issue that’s making lots of problems. There are lots of marches going on at the moment so you should be able to find one that you can make.
What do these marches consist of? Well normally there's a big wallk from one spot to another and they usually try go past important places like parliament buildings were politicians and leaders are working to try get them to listen. And popular and busy places as well, to get other people to listen and help!
If you go to one of these protests you should make and bring a sign or poster - here are some ideas...
But there’s smaller things you can do too. They might seem small but if we all do small things to help it can make a change. For example turn the lights off when you’re not there, don't leave the tap on and try not to waste food - after all the energy and resources used to make it!
If everyone does the little things it can make a big difference!
Cars! They’re one of the main causes of air pollution - how do you help? Well try to use your car as little as possible (though electric cars are better than petrol and diesel cars they still cause some pollution). Which brings me on to my next point, if you are buying a new car buy an electric car as they cause a lot less pollution as they are powered by electricity, you just need to be careful about where the electricity comes from!
