Did you do our Festival lesson about Earth Day in your classroom? If so, we’d love to hear about any good discussions you had! For example...
...you could let us know your opinions on some of the key questions. What did you decide was the purpose of laws? Were you surprised by the lifestyle choices with the biggest carbon footprint? Or did you have any good suggestions for new climate laws?
...or you could let us know about the skills you developed during the lesson. For example, how confident do you feel about using facts and examples to support your arguments about climate laws? And what keywords do you think are most important for discussing climate laws?

Although we didn't have a classroom discussion about earth day its become a daily routine for our teachers to encourage us to care for the environment we live in considering the high rate of natural disasters that have been occurring, they help us notice that the little things we do can alter a lot of things happening in the environment . Just throwing maybe a biscuit wrap or an empty bottle into a drainage system could cause blockage so when it rains the excess water won't be able to drain properly and this could lead to flooding. Little things like this that we fail to take notice of could lead to further complications.I've also been able to learn that as humans we should learn to take note that we aren't the only living things on earth, we should try our possible best to put an end to throwing of waste or other objects into water bodies although we don't live underwater but there are a lot of living creatures who live under water they could consume waste thrown into the water and it could be toxic leading to sickness or even death . We should note that every living creature plays an important role in the eco system , and we should try our best to care for our planet.
What should governments be doing?
Climate vulnerable communities should be empowered by the government and there should be an institutional mechanism to resolve climate-related disputes.
Thanks, can you find any examples of this happening?
• Carbon pricing Reducing carbon emissions is starting to show signs of improvement
policies.
. Ending fossil fuel subsidies...
Building resilient, low-carbon cities.
• Increasing energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy ....
Applying climate-smart farming practices and expanding forests
I agree because the world has been paying more attention and taking action by doing these things allowing it to improve.
yes by theway paying more attention and taking action is good
I agree...
Because the government his a big role
to get solution the climate related disputes
I agree because...
The only way to sensitize the public is to use larger crowds for the better hence promoting easy transfer of information from one place to another or to the public at large. Secondly, I think so because the institutions host a large number of people who originate from different areas or places hence sensitization will be at a high rate.
I agree because... climate vulnerable communities should be empowered by the government the reason why is that the government should be able to implement laws that governs the climate
I agree because... the vulnerable communities should be empowered by the government because it is the responsibility of the government to implement laws that will govern the climate disputes. And it is the government to put more effort to fight climate crisis in a specific country including the community members not only the government.
I feel the government should carry out enlightenment programmes to inform the pu lic especially those who live in the rural areas that are less privileged and as such don't know about such happenings,then they should implement laws because it will be unfair to make laws without the public knowing. Laws should be created such as improper disposal of waste should be severely punished whether on land or in the sea and also banning of bush burning.
I feel the government in my country is not doing well enough in the fight against climate change as there are no laws put in place and even if they are they are not properly enforced.
You make a great point that it would be unfair to punish people without first making sure they are informed of the reason for these rules.
It is true that it is unfair to punish an act that you did not know was forbidden, but in this case I think that the rule does not fully apply to the issue of climate. For example, pouring trash or sewage water must be punished even if the perpetrator does not know. This is an ugly act and has long-term risks. The short and the large, and also throwing waste on the ground, should be punished regardless of who the perpetrator is, but there are matters whose results are difficult to know without lessons and seminars, for example the penalty for using electrical appliances or eating meat saturated with fat, so it should not be punished if the perpetrator does not know if he concludes that the laws are divided into types And each type has special provisions and they differ with each case
The Governments should help by creating organisations that would conserve wildlife and would ensure their safety to prevent them from going extinct , they should also create more wildlife sanctuaries.They could also help make citizens aware of the fact that in order to preserve our planet earth we need to take some safety measures like recycling, conserving water, discouraging animal poaching,reducing use of chemicals that could be toxic to our environment. They should make citizens aware that although technology has its advantages there are also some adverse effects and these adverse effects could be threats to our planet earth. Things like air conditioning,refridgerators,aerosol sprays and dehumidifiers emit chlorofluocarbons which is part of the compounds that lead to ozone layer depletion , so the government could make citizens more informed about the disadvantages of such products and could bring utilization of such products to minimum use.
The duties of the state and the government towards the environment are multiplied in various fields. The state and the government are the ones who set the regulations and laws that individuals must follow. Therefore, it is considered necessary to issue laws that oblige everyone to protect the environment, and to set strict penalties for anyone who harms it. A culture of preservation must also be spread. Environment, warning of the danger of environmental pollution to human health, and holding conferences necessary to take important decisions to solve the environmental problems we are facing at the present time, in addition to carrying out awareness campaigns regarding pollution and its effects on the environment, and encouraging individuals to environmental campaigns such as afforestation campaigns, watering plants, and cleaning Beaches and streets.
Exactly, I agree with you that certain laws should be issued to stop this threatening crisis. No doubt it's all duty to stand and change our bad habits that harm our nature in order to reach a safe environment for all.
The mentioned negative effects require action from goverments to mitigate and alleviate their impacts.
Some of the measures that goverments can take include :
1- Issuing strict environmental legislation and laws that limit air and water pollution and engourage sustainable environmental practices.
2- Shifting towards renewable energy use and reliance on fossil fuels.
3- collaborating with environmental associations and non-governmental organizations to protect wildlife and natural reserves.
Yes, I agree with you on everything you said, especially the use of renewable energy, but unfortunately renewable energy constitutes only 5% of our energy use, while the rest depends mainly on burning fossil fuels. It is really unfortunate because fossil fuels have several risks, including that they lead to an increase in global warming In addition to increasing the speed of climate change, and this affects very negatively the health of the respiratory system, and thus affects the rate of oxygen access to the brain and affects brain functions, and this is really painful. I hope that our leaders and governments will turn to clean energy.
The Governments should help by creating organisations that would conserve wildlife and would ensure their safety to prevent them from going extinct , they should also create more wildlife sanctuaries.They could also help make citizens aware of the fact that in order to preserve our planet earth we need to take some safety measures like recycling, conserving water, discouraging animal poaching,reducing use of chemicals that could be toxic to our environment. They should make citizens aware that although technology has its advantages there are also some adverse effects and these adverse effects could be threats to our planet earth.
From my point of view, it is possible for the government to raise awareness, but there is an alternative way, which is to punish the individual if he does not apply the laws, but it is possible to prevent rights, but it is the best way, and with time the matter will be adapted, and people will become afraid for their rights, so they will implement the laws to the fullest
I think that governments should impose penalties and taxes on citizens who litter and contribute to spreading pollution, because if one person is punished, others will learn from this mistake.
Governments can encourage people to pay attention to the environment and reward people to do so and make seminars on the importance of preserving the environment clean to ensure no sudden climate change
They should raise awareness and encourage people to reduce carbon pollution. Or check your energy consumption, where possible they should replace their energy source with one that is emission free or renewable energy. By installing solar panels on rooftops, or planting trees in abundance, because nearly 12 million hectares of forests are destroyed every year.
The government should license the most climate vulnerable groups and there should be an particular program to resolve the disputes related to the climate change.
Intersting point, could you develop further on what programs you would suggest?
For example, in schools they could limit the use of electricity for lights and invest in some solar panels, thus we would help reduce the effect of electricity on climate change.
I also think that more attention should be paid to the reasons that cause traffic accidents, so that people would be less afraid to use transport such as bicycles or electric scooters to move around the cities.
people should pay a fine if they are saw littering and there should be a center to clean if people want to in public and if they are done cleaning they butall the trash in the machine then the person will get money for cleaning
i agree to your comment because whenever citizens litter it causes the air to become polluted & plastic and other items rush off into the oceans and seas to hurt and harms seafood below .
Due to the increasing population and extreme density in the country; It results from the increase in the quantities of consumption in everything that results in large amounts of waste, whether food, industrial or agricultural.
You are right. If we can make protecting the environment part of our daily routine, it will be a habit of daily habits that will make people cooperate in protecting the environment. Also, if they realize that by protecting the environment they will protect themselves, this will make their thinking more rational, and this will make the environment more stable and safer than just setting laws.
I agree with your opinion. It was a wonderful, scientific, accurate opinion, and I excelled at it. I did well. It is true that we are not the only living being living on this earth, so we must take care of what is around us for the sake of our safety, the safety of those around us, and the safety of our planet.
Thank you
Your words are correct, we must preserve the environment and the qualitative balance in it, so governments are supposed to strengthen this balance and build the largest number of natural reserves
Also, health problems greatly affect the planet and creatures, especially animals that depend for their nutrition on the environment, which can die if the environment encounters several problems, the most important of which is pollution, and even they may become extinct if we do not preserve them.
This is why we must protect the environment
Yes, even the small things that some consider simple can lead to big problems
Therefore, we must instill positive values in the next generation for a better future, and to learn from our mistakes. This means that small mistakes can turn into big ones if they are multiplied.
I also agree with your opinion on this , Ray was brilliant, knowledgeable and punctual , There is nothing wrong with it , Well done . It is true that we are not the only beings that inhabit the planet , Therefore, we must take care of the living creatures around us or others . For everyone's safety and safety of our planet The beautiful wonderful.
I agree with you, I like your words, and I hope the rest of the world will be aware of the point that we are not the only beings on this planet
It often happened to me that when we go to the beach, people throw their waste into the sea, and I really felt sorry for that
As experts, you should set laws as if they were children’s games, because I do not think that children know such a thing as law, so they must be taught from a young age to put waste in its places, for example (paper, plastic cans, iron, and glass).
I think this is so true because so many people forget to take care of all the other living things around us and that is what made climate change worse.
You are right that we should be mindful of our waste and dispose of it properly, especially when it comes to water bodies. It's not only about the impact on aquatic life but also about the overall health of the environment. By taking care of the planet, we are also taking care of ourselves and future generations.
I encourage you to continue learning and practicing good environmental habits, and maybe even inspire others to do the same. Let's work together to make our planet a healthier and more sustainable place for all living beings.
I completely agree with you! Conserving our planet and its resources is crucial for our well-being, and we must work together to ensure that our actions do not harm the environment. Each of us can make a difference by adopting sustainable practices in our daily lives, and by spreading awareness about the importance of protecting the environment. Thank you for your efforts in this regard, and let's keep up the good work!
I agree because we dont always think about what we are doing esspecially the consequences although we dont think much about what we do. The consequences of dropping rubish come back slowly and evedentiully.While we dropp rubbish we shouldnt think about people being angry with you about dropping the rubbish.what im trying to say is that dropping a bit of rubbish is that in the long term its a bad idea.
.
Every person must have a distinguished and civilized role, and build and not destroy as he must be a long-lived person who gives everyone around him his right. Cleanliness is a right for every person who must enjoy it and preserve it, so do not participate in distorting the place you visit or live in at all: be human And do not ruin your environment with your own hands.
yes ..we had a lesson about climate change ..our teacher had explained how important our role is to save our environment...we should reduce air , water and land pollution.
because they affect climate change .
we should keep our EARTH clean from unrecycable things .We should keep waste in suitable cans divided into 3 ( reuse...recycle..throw away)
we shouldn't throw our waste into sea ..we should keep our seashore clean and safe.
we should reduce using plastic and paper bags .
We should also reduce using cars and taxis instead we can use bicycles and safe bikes .
WE all together can make a change in front of this climate change and it's time to stop harming ourselves and our earth.
Hello!
My opinion in your article is that you have succeeded in choosing topics and arranging them. I wish you and everyone who reads this article not to do actions that are harmful to the environment and to listen to our advice.
You said bicycles, but bicycles are harmful to the environment because they emit smoke
Hi clever_squid - I think by "bicycles" warmhearted_eel means pedal bikes, which do not create emissions when they are being used.
Exactly ..that what I meant by bikes which are so safe .
Hi,
Your ideas are very wonderful And we can put it as a climate change law because it's so relevant
believe that it is necessary to propose some ideas to solve this crisis. We have to be one hand and provide assistance. I suggest the following: subsidizing fossil fuels, building flexible cities with low carbon emissions, using renewable energy, and increasing the cultivation of plants. And stop the urban sprawl and reduce smoking. These ideas will help reduce pollution. So, my friends, let's reduce our carbon footprint to have a clean life without diseases
Yes , I agree with you. We must preserve our enviroment and not pollute it through vertical urban sprawl , not to cut down trees for d preserve oxygen , and also put a wastebasket on the side of the roads for plastic and another for paper to be recycled .
Through that, we prserve our enviroment and make it a clean life .
Safe for the community
I agree with you 💯 completely and I think we should grow a lot of 🌳 🌲 along roadside to stop global warmning and prevent pollution and live in a clean and safety environment
But how can people understand that rules and take it as a routine... I'd like to understand.
The topic Climate change can be said to be two edged it has its advantage some crops grow better in the presence of higher carbon dioxide levels, warmer weather, and seem to be more drought tolerant. Yet its disadvantage is greater, mainly we see that the eco system is affected, the ozone layer depleting and harsh weather conditions are arising making the EARTH unbearable for living organisms. There needs to be a balance if we want the Earth to be in existence by the next century. To achieve this we should start with our immediate environment we should be conscious of waste disposal and littering there should be strict laws with fines attached for offenders who dispose waste in the sea, by the road side, gutters and so on. We should also look into recycling, and the use of biogas to improve the atmosphere. By doing this we can face the disadvantages of climate change head on.
Who should be in charge of making sure people follow the rules?
I feel that the government and head of local communities or associations should be on the look out for areas with unnecessary pollution they should then be sanctioned, we also are in charge of making sure one another obey we should correct our neighbors and work to keep the environment clean.
I agree because it is a fact that due to constant pollution, some parts of the world are experiencing serious hardships such as floods, shortage of fresh water, and many more. As the government, they have the power to put an end to or reduce those hardships; but as people who want change, we can set the pathway by practicing habits that affect our earth positively.
I completely agree with you. Because it's the role of the government and the audience to keep the public places clean and away from pollution
I agree because... I agree because... the government, heads of villages and towns must ensure that we follow the rules to reduce climate change, but most importantly the people or citizens of the country should do well to compel themselves and others around them to follow these rules to reduce or put an end to climate change.
Hi!
In my opinion, It is the job of every human on this earth to ensure a healthier and safer environment for each other. I also believe we humans who want to see drastic improvement or change in our earth can assign this task to ourselves.
Does every human have an equal impact with their choices though?
I feel that different people's choices have different degrees of impact. For example a person who lives in a city who drives, uses a refrigerator and other high carbon emitting machines will definitely have a higher level of impact on climate change than that of a person who lives in a rural area who doesn't have access to such high carbon emitting machines and as such may have a lesser degree of impact on climate change. As such different people's choices have different degrees of impact on climate change.
I agree with you, we humans are responsible for the environment in which we live. Our responsibilities towards the environment start from childhood. Our parents were keen to educate us about everything that surrounds us, in order to help us build a productive life for ourselves, our lives, and our communities, and in order to protect the natural world around us and instill green values, cleanliness, and sophistication. Nature represents our civilization, so cleanliness must be maintained
Nature must be protected from all human waste that causes fires
Not polluting the water with chemical and oil residues
Reducing air pollution necessary for breathing and life
Reducing the use of chemical pesticides that pollute the soil, air and groundwater.
I think that governments and officials are the ones who must take into account these conditions
I say to myself , It is the mission of every person in this life who lives on planet earth It is to ensure a clean environment full of health and safety for each other . Also, I think that we as human beings should see an improvement or change in this land and also we can appoint this for ourselves .
I really agree with you. Yes, there are positive effects and negative effects, but plants can grow with the attention and care of farmers, unlike what happens with weather conditions. We can change them easily. We have to face the problem of increasing carbon, as I said, by setting strict laws, but the problem is that not all countries and countries put These strict laws, so I wished that my country had these laws, but they do not exist, so we, in schools or public places, have to start the change from us and make people aware of the dangers of throwing the simplest plastic waste

I agree because... to start helping the world with reducing climate change, we should first help ourselves in reducing climate change. Therefore I love your idea to start with our immediate environment because as Clover Hogan said "With great responsibility comes great power". If we have a lot of responsibility to be conscious of our waste disposal and start taking care of our environment to reduce climate change, imagine the impact we are going to make when we are given the power to help the whole world.
Thank you for your comment, I strongly agree with you, because waste has damage to our lives, and if its quantity increases, it will increase its damage to future generations and the spread of many diseases that threaten human lives
I agree because all of these problems that are affecting the environment are mainly caused by us humans. If we were to change our habits and establish a few strict rules, we could drastically change the environment for the better.
The discussion took place in the class about the climate, and it became clear to us that the land must be preserved from the land from pollution that causes climate change. Preserving the land from pollution and not throwing waste on the ground and throwing garbage in the place designated for it, we must divide the wastebasket into 4 parts, including (Department of papers, section of glass, section of plastic items, section of throwing fruit peels) It is important that we teach our children about this, as this thing works on the cleanliness of society, including: 1- Working to clean beaches and gardens, especially public places such as streets 2 Not throwing garbage on the ground and throwing it in 3 Not to build factories close to homes, because of the pollution they cause from industrial waste, and to work on pollution of the environment, and not to throw waste into the sea because it may cause death to fish, and this thing is harmful, which leads to climate change
Do you think there should be penalties or punishments if people don't do these things?
Yes, there are penalties for those who do not abide by the laws of the state who work on leveling lands, cutting trees and forest fires, as this negatively affects the life of living creatures and building on areas that are not permitted for construction and not licensing them, so there must be penalties for compliance with them
I'm in support that there should be penalties or punishments due to that fact that if the laws made are being neglected,there won't be any development but instead, put individuals and even sea animals at high risk of their health
Thanks for sharing, what would be appropriate penalties?
I think that the best punishment is not to give anyone who has not done the law any work in the state. If you do not abide by the laws, you will not have any work in the state. This is difficult, but it makes a large number of citizens abide by the laws, and therefore we are heading to solve the problem
Violating the laws results in many penalties and they differ from one country to another. In my opinion, whoever violates climate laws should take the ideal penalties that bring benefit to the environment, and learn and appreciate the environment. The penalties are such as: paying a fine to the government in order to develop the environment; If he is old and does not have money, environmental services will stop him for two days. The purpose of the law is to preserve this world.
The aim of punishments is the purification of man.
💫 How do you think it is breaking the laws?
💫Are these laws better than the current penalties that are imposed such as imprisonment?
If there are strict laws that prohibit behaviors that harm the environment or cause damage to nature on Earth Day, it may be necessary to punish those who violate these laws. This is to encourage people to respect and preserve the environment and to maintain the health of the planet.
However, it is important to ensure that the laws are applied fairly and equally, and that the punishments are proportionate to the crime committed. It is also important to encourage people to participate in Earth Day in positive ways and to raise awareness of environmental issues, rather than relying solely on punishment.
The importance of our role in the environment
To maintain our safety, the environment must be preserved, because the cleanliness and beauty of the environment is the source of our happiness.
In all cities and countries, devices must be available. For example: making devices for garbage through each garbage that has a specific thing.
As we studied in science, trees are a source of air purification, so many trees must be planted
Finally, remember to protect the environment،Also, devices that pollute the environment, such as household appliances that burn energy, motorized vehicles, industrial facilities, and forest fires, must be minimized.☺️
How do you encourage people/countries to plant more trees?
Welcome, in my opinion, through Arboretum Day, people are encouraged to donate unwanted seedlings or shrubs from their own gardens to be cared for in the nursery, or to organize campaigns to plant trees and establish tree nurseries supervised by environmental educators
People can be encouraged to plant trees in my country first by creating a campaign and I will call it the Million Trees Campaign
My Meaning (which means more trees now) campaign aims to give away 1 million young trees to farmers, councils and landowners
And also holding conferences on the importance of planting trees, which leads to preserving the environment
Some great suggestions from both!
I can encourage people /countries to plant more trees is by firstly, planting the trees yourself ,your actions can encourage people outside try planting trees in their homes. you can also encourage people to plant more tree by adopting young seedlings and trees from a tree planting organization and planting them at places where tree have been destroyed. By doing this we can restore lost forests, repair damaged ecosystems and save wildlife.
We can encourage people/countries to plant more trees 1 : share compost.
2 : organize a harvest swap.
3 : start a tree swap.
4 : set out a free produce stand .
There are several ways to encourage people and countries to plant more trees:
Government incentives: Governments can provide incentives such as tax breaks, subsidies, and grants to individuals and organizations that plant trees. In some countries, such as Ethiopia, the government has launched ambitious tree planting campaigns to combat deforestation and climate change.
Community involvement: Communities can be mobilized to plant trees in their neighborhoods and public spaces. You can organize community events such as tree planting days, where volunteers can participate in planting trees in their local area.
Corporate social responsibility: Companies can engage in tree planting initiatives as part of their corporate social responsibility. For example, the Kenya Forest Service partnered with the Kenya Tea Development Agency to plant over 16 million trees in the Mount Kenya region.
Tree planting campaigns: Campaigns can be launched to create awareness about the importance of trees and to encourage people to plant trees. For example, the "Greening Uganda" campaign launched by the government of Uganda aims to plant 100 million trees per year to combat deforestation and desertification.
Use of technology: Innovative technologies such as drones can be used to plant trees in hard-to-reach areas. The startup BioCarbon Engineering uses drones to plant trees in areas that have been deforested or affected by wildfires.
One successful example of a country that has implemented a tree planting campaign is China. The country has launched a massive tree planting initiative, known as the "Green Great Wall," which aims to plant 100 billion trees by 2050. The government has provided incentives to farmers and landowners to plant trees and has also mobilized the military to participate in the campaign. As a result, China has been able to increase its forest coverage from 12% in the 1980s to 22% in 2020.
we had a lesson about force on science, Our teacher explained to us how important it is to save our environment from danger.
We should keep our environment free from using strength from the air. We should keep our force for some
needs in suitable ways.
We shouldn't use our force for some thing that is not useful we should keep our force for useful things. We should keep our environment clean and safe from harmful things.
We should reduce using cars and taxis instead we can use bicycles and safe bikes.
Last week, we learned with the science teacher that it is necessary to know how to contribute to reducing carbon footprints, through rationalizing the consumption of electricity and water and using them more effectively, purchasing high-efficiency devices and equipment, reducing waste, recycling materials, and searching for sources Alternative energy, the exploitation of mass transportation, and the construction of green buildings.
These are great ideas, fair_pineapple. Which of these ways of reducing carbon footprints do you think would be easiest for you to implement in your life and why?
I have learned that Individuals, politicians and corporations all need to do more to protect the planet from climate change.
Support environmentally friendly products and companies. Stop using fossil fuels. Stop using pesticides, add solar energy to your home or business, buy an electric vehicle, eat more fruit and vegetables and less meat and dairy, plant a tree, recycle everything. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Donate to non profits fighting for a better future. Support and elect climate leaders. Every child should plant a tree, bush or flowers wiith a parent or teacher. It will help connect them to nature and the environment. .Leave a better future for your children and grandchildren
This is a great observation - as you point out we're all responsible for climate change as individuals, not just politicians and governments. Are there any specific nonprofits you think are doing good work?
It is necessary to reduce our carbon prints,because it is a dangerous problem that faces our planet.The best way to do that is to be responsible.I think it is the role of governments and schools to spread awareness between students.Also they can put strict rules to oblige them to follow instructios.
Individuals can help by reducing dirty energy and use clean and renewable energy.also they can reduce eating meat and eat organic food and vegetables.they also should reduce private cars and walk instead or use public transport.I think one good way is the" 3Rs" :reduce,reuse and recycle waste especially plastic. Also saving the electricity is a good point .we should turn off computers and other electric machines after using it.
In short, we must take our role in this issue.
Yes... A celebration has been carried out in the school on Earth Day, and we have explained Earth Day and its importance and what is it talking about to the students in the class. We used to say that Earth Day is an important day for us, and it is an annual event celebrated all over the world, and we said that its date is 22/
4 To show support for environmental protection and with the aim of increasing societal awareness of environmental issues, these questions have been discussed: How do we face major events and realities related to our present, history and future?
How do we bring the conflict back to the fore?
We discussed the importance of Earth Day, as we said that Earth Day is a day to hold on to the land of our ancestors and to preserve our Palestinian heritage.
And we said why is Earth Day important?
These were the most important discussions and questions we asked the students
In the end, we gave advice, including:
Use reusable shopping bags
Preserving the environment by educating people and spreading banners about the environment and cleanliness
Recycle and reuse waste as much as you can.
Climate change is one of the problems that the whole world suffers from. In science, we have learned about one of the causes of climate change that human activities are the main cause of climate change, mainly due to the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and gas. Climate changes negatively affect our health and reduce our ability to farm. Such as planting trees that prevent air pollution, and climate changes lead to desertification, floods, and the spread of diseases among people. It is our duty to save the planet by planting more trees, recycling, saving energy, using bicycles, and putting trash cans everywhere. It is our duty as human beings to remove any problem affecting our planet so that we can live in a clean planet free of any problems.
This is true and some measures must be taken to reduce climate change, such as:
Eat more vegetables.
Reducing throwing food.
Walking, cycling, or using public transportation.
Control of energy use
If you can, switch the energy supply to one that is carbon neutral or powered by renewable energy.
Install solar panels on your rooftops. Be more efficient: turn the heat down a notch or two, if possible.
Turn off appliances and lights when not in use, and it's best to buy the most efficient products in the first place. Use roof insulation so that the house is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, and this will contribute to saving some money as well.
I agree because... this is our goal(saving money )
Thank you for this nice response.!
welcome everybody
We discussed with our teacher some of the causes of climate change, and this issue is not easy, it is a serious issue, and strict laws must be issued to mitigate this problem, and there are some solutions to it, such as: planting trees. In vast areas and not burning forests, there are also many factories that cause Co² are released into the atmosphere, causing global warming catastrophe and serious change, and for this every country must educate its children, and every individual must preserve the environment as much as possible
Thanks
I have some suggestions regarding strict climate laws First, spreading awareness about strict climate laws Spreading awareness is important and necessary about climate laws so that we can solve these problems, avoid them, and develop solutions for them. Also, planting trees is an important and necessary solution to securing a moderate climate. By emitting carbon dioxide, the atmosphere is softened because trees take in oxygen and emit carbon dioxide And also control the use of energy means Like means of transportation, its system and its many uses can be modified, and its risks can be reduced, as well as electricity, by developing solutions and avoiding these problems by reducing them, such as using electricity 5 hours a day and cars 3 days a week
I think you meant to say that we humans emit carbon dioxide: trees take in our CO² and emit oxygen for us to breath. So you're quite right to say that planting more trees is important for us and the environment!
I agree because I really liked it because planting trees is very important to us and the environment
There are better ways than this. Instead of using the car three times a day, or having electricity for five hours a day, we use solar powered cars and homes that also run on solar cells. This is how we get what we want (killing two birds with one stone).
This sounds like a good idea. Which would be easier to do?
The easiest would be to use the car three times a day, because getting electricity for 5 hours is difficult because most of our home life matters are used through electricity, for example: television, computers and many household appliances. The use of the car is limited in mobility, but the electricity field is open.
Of course, we took the class on the topic of Earth Day, and it was very good, but unfortunately in my city, Gaza, there are no such laws that prohibit materials that harm the surrounding environment, “plastic, cloth, waste that is not easily degradable.” There are many problems facing the environment in the city, and there are no Any laws that can reduce the damage to it, so I hope that if we can add laws to protect the environment
I notice that there is a large amount of carbon energy in the climate of Palestine, and this is due to the frequent use of cars due to the financial crisis that forces people to work, in addition to man’s dependence on animals and his disregard for most plants. One of the advantages of climate laws is that there is an ecological balance between animals, plants and labor sources, so a mobile phone must be used for a period of time. Only one hour a day and using the computer to work at home
Yes, we learned that in school, and I myself expressed a deep view on the subject, and our teacher explained to us that we must guard it and follow the laws because neglecting it is a crime for which it will be held accountable. Dust from car exhaust contains many harmful gases, and one of the most prominent problems that afflict us from behind is the inability to breathe, severe coughing, dizziness, fainting, but the importance is that we keep the environment intact from pollution and disease, so we, as a civilized society, must protect it, and among the laws that I hope will happen in the world It applies to everyone not to use gasoline except for a period of 3 day
good!
I believe that the purpose of the laws is to spread awareness of preserving the environment, and indeed I have good suggestions for new climate laws by issuing a tree planting law, for example, to plant trees every year, or for streets to contain a certain number of trees in proportion to the number of residents of the street, for example, and also to reduce the use of Electricity is about 5 hours per day, relying on solar energy, and not wasting water, so we use water as much as needed , and whoever violates these laws will be punished by a tax, and therefore we must preserve our environment, as we are responsible for that!
Would protecting trees that exist be better than planting new ones?
I believe that planting trees works to withdraw carbon dioxide from the air and store it inside, as well as release oxygen gas that works to maintain the balance between gases in the air
Besides being a suitable environment for many organisms, the main reason for their growth is the fact that they draw carbon dioxide from the air.
In my opinion, we must protect the cultivated and existing trees. If there are large areas, then we do not take advantage of the opportunity and plant trees, shrubs and seedlings in large quantities because we need an urgent and large need for oxygen and also until we get rid of carbon dioxide.
Protecting trees are better than planting a new ones but however we plant more tree it will help for our future generations.Today lots of trees are cutting down due to various reasons,so it is important to protect the trees as well as growing the trees.
That's a great way to look at it, articulate_potato. It doesn't have to be either/or - we can do both!
I agree with you and l think that we as students from the first grade at school each one should grow atree and take care of it. In this way he /she will keep the school clean, beautiful and reduce the amount of carbon and keep the environment tidy and healthy also it's good for learning
Yea I agree with this. In addition to planting more trees, we need to protect the existing ones. Because mature trees are more effective in storing carbon as their trunks and stems are larger. As per the research about 100 tons of carbon emissions are avoided with every hectare of mature forests conversely, a restored forest takes 30 long years to capture the same amount of carbon as an old growth forest. Researchers found mature forests can double their carbon-capturing capabilities.Even if we replant every tree cut down, it takes time and effort before newer trees capture as much carbon as effectively as mature trees. And moreover this is not the only reason to protect existing trees as planting newer trees is pretty much expensive, requires a lot more work than maintaining existing ones and newer trees take decades to reach maturity. Planting trees is good but saving existing ones is better.
The idea is to preserve the vegetation. We can protect the trees by putting in place the Big Trees Law. Trees whose leaves were yellow and about to die. After cutting them, others must be planted.
No, it does not guarantee the basic needs of the world's population. The purpose of the existence of these trees 💚is to benefit from them, but within limits that we must not disturb the needs of future generations. Well, what should we do?
💫 Plant a tree for every tree wecut down to benefit from it.
💫 Not cutting trees except for essential needs, but not extravagantly.
🧐 What do you think and your point of view?
🧐Shouldn't we look at things in moderation? . .
Hi, it is better to preserve the soil in areas where trees grow naturally, and not to plant trees randomly. However, planting new trees does not harm, rather it is a good thing because trees have great benefits such as increasing air quality and preventing soil erosion, just as barriers made of trees act as a physical filter, trap dust, and work to absorb pollutants from the air, as each tree is individual They remove up to 1.7 kilograms of pollutants annually, provide shade from solar radiation and reduce noise.
Yes we celebrated the Earth day at our school we had many activities some students presented a programme about pollution and how it can affect climate change they tallced about air , water and land pollation other students talked about how climate change and the rising of temperature can cause flood and that affects the lives of many people
A few days ago our school perform earth-day festival by some of students from health committee who give us some information about climate and some natural problems that affect our green planet and warn us about the consequencess if these problems continue and how it will destroy our lives
Yes, we learned a lesson about climate change. Our teacher explained some important points for preserving the environment. All thanks to him. Now I will tell you what we learned. In order for us to enjoy a safe and clean environment, articles that raise awareness of the dangers of cutting down trees, reducing the presence of factories that emit chemicals, we must conserve water, reduce electricity consumption and I, in my small role, will work hard with my colleagues to preserve it. We will always clean our school, we will make sure that no waste is thrown on the ground, and we will ask our management to help plant some bushes in our school to enjoy the fresh air.
Yes..it is advisable to follow the laws. The teacher explained to us the damage resulting from the carbon footprint that must be reduced, as it has great damage to the planet (the ozone layer expands, so the harmful rays of the sun enter, and it damages the atmospheric air, which weakens the function of plants and breathing for humans, and it affects badly on the soil and finally water resources in the world, so we must stop this danger by raising awareness through videos, banners, and education in schools
A chemical compound that results from the interaction of oxygen with carbon and has the symbol Co2. This element has advantages and disadvantages. I learned in a school lesson that carbon dioxide affects our lives and planet , and we ranked the most influential to the least influential. 1_ Car fuel 2_ Flight 3_ Watching TV 4_ Watching the phone 5_ Eating hamburger with cheese. I was astonished by the amount of production of carbon dioxide in our daily activities. Carbon footprint affects the climate drastically , so that there are about 250 million people who feel these changes, and in my opinion, in the future there will be many deaths due to climate change. We still feel the agony of what happened in Syria and Turkey after the unexpected earthquakes . As for the laws, they must be put in place, but they should not be strict, such as execution or imprisonment. They should be like a financial fine and others, and they should not be strict, because we are part of these people. I mean, they will affect us as well. So I say stop killing the world.
At first, I was not interested in the topic, but for those who know its damage to the environment, many things have changed. I started to like throwing garbage in the trash, and I no longer used the phone. I told my father not to use the car a lot, and I told my mother not to use a lot of plastic sheets. I think the word carbon footprint is very important, and there are examples Facts that indicate the importance of climate fluctuations such as floods and heat waves
It's interesting to hear how you've changed your mind on this subject, fair_river. What was it that made you think differently about the environment?
We are all aware of the seriousness of this thing (climate change), and we must take strict beneficial laws towards it, but these laws cannot benefit everyone, for example, we cannot turn on electricity in hospitals for 5 hours a day, or who is sick and His treatment is in meat, so he must eat meat, which is obligatory for everyone
For me, there are better ways than this. Instead of using the car three times a day, or having electricity come five hours a day, we use cars that run on solar energy and houses that also work on solar cells. This is how we might get what we want (killing two birds with one stone).
Certainly, We learned an important lesson about climate change and we understand the importance of preserving the cleanliness and beauty of the environment because we are a ware of it's impact on climate change, for example: we must throw waste in the appropriate place or recycle it to benefit from it, and factories must also be placed a way from residential places so as not to cause smoke in environmental pollution, We should not use means of transportation alot , such as : cars , motorcycles, but rather we should use bicycles, and there is a positive side to the use of plastic and unnecessary waste in the environment in that it has been exploited and we have made an exhibition and it has been recycled and made distinctive, and useful things at the same time , and used as containers, soil fertilizer، pipes.
I agree to these report,it will help build a better and healthy society . And their will be decrease in loss of life.
Accordingly many countries start to set new laws in order to diminish the unwanted results of global warming and carbon footprint such as restriction of factories in cities and what surprise me was the replacement of non Renewable energy sources With renewable ones in safety and innovator manner.and the proof of that was the statistics that showed a remarkable improvement in temperature.
For me the best solution is to increase vegetation and And benefitting from waste as much as possible in producing other forms of energy
In an online class our teacher teaches us how important it is to keep the environment clean because of the great benefits it has for climate change and the world at large. Preserving the environment is a wonderful and joyful thing for the soul. She asked us and showed us many unexpected facts on how our daily activities and our carbon footprint exacerbate climate change and how climate change such as floods and heatwaves increases the number of deaths and homeless people in the next decades. Fortunately we talked about some solutions that can help in reducing climate change . For example, we must reduce pollution in all its forms. Therefore, we must get rid of waste that is dangerous and harmful to humans in and of itself and reduce using plastic things that are used once and use glass or wood instead or other materials that are not harmful and don't stay along time in the environment. We must protect ourselves from infectious diseases. Food should not be wasted and we should reuse the leftovers. The use of cars and trucks that emit smoke and contain a large percentage of carbon dioxide should be reduced and use bicycles instead. We must plant more trees in order to get rid of carbon dioxide and smell such clean air. We must build our society clean and tidy, free from harmful pollutants.
Why not live a happy life full of luxury, health and safety?
Why don't we play our role in this life as reformers and not spoilers of this world?
We studied the topic of climate in class, discussed it, researched and developed our concepts about the environment and learned about carbon dioxide emitters - the biggest cause of climate change - and the reason that caught my attention the most. Transportation In my local area, the most common means of transportation is private cars, which cause a large percentage From the emissions, I had a proposal to solve this problem, which is to provide public and mass transportation, as it reduces carbon emissions. - I had a problem with the third law (for everyone to become vegetarians). I object to this law, as it is personal freedom and no one has the right to restrict your freedom, whether in food or clothing. Perhaps we should develop another solution, such as increasing the cultivation of plants and raising livestock properly.
I can see what you mean about vegetarianism, for example, being a personal choice, But do you think it's true to say in general that no-one has the right to restrict your personal freedom? Can you think of examples of personal freedoms which are restricted by law?
Yes, no matter what the matter is, no one has the right to restrict your freedom, and this is mentioned in the books of the constitution and the heavenly books, but let us use the saying of freedoms well and know what it means to be free to make decisions that concern me and do not affect others and do not harm society. For example, it is not right for me to kill a person. Deliberately, then I say, This is my freedom, and it is not right for me to steal land or kidnap a child, then I say, This is my freedom. As for what does not harm others, no one has the right to force me into it. <br>
As for the freedoms that are restricted by laws, I believe that everyone enjoys their rights except for two groups: 1- They are the groups who are exposed to aggression, wars and racism, but the other groups condone and sometimes protect the infringing party because they are ignorant of when the laws should be violated <br>
2- The poor who steal from the old men in The state (those who usually steal the state’s money) in order to get what they eat and feed their children with.
I have acquired veriabl skills that linked the individual's relationship with the environment through the awarness of preserving and using friendly environment resources to protect the climate.
Two days ago,we and our teacher discussed this topic and it was so interesting.
first we talked about why should there be climate tough laws . Because there are fast and dangerous changes at the climate all over the world.
We talked about who should be responsible at saving our planet?
We reached the suitable answer every one as a human being is responsible on not polluting our Earth. Every government is responsible to put strict laws against any one any company or any factory participate in polluting our air.land and water.
The international community should pays all the needed efforts to safe our planet.
Yes, we learned about climate change and its importance in our society. We must investigate pollution because pollution changes the climate.
Waste should be disposed of by putting rubbish everywhere.
We must maintain general hygiene because it affects the health of the surrounding environment, as it is likely to rise and the occurrence of natural disasters: such as droughts, floods, etc...
And I learned in class that it is necessary to ride a bicycle instead of a car and reduce the use of lighting .....
And we should not throw garbage in workplaces because it constitutes a negative form of climate and pollution..... Climate changes have potential health effects on humans, including the spread of vector-borne diseases and a number of infectious and communicable diseases by consuming contaminated water and food. Therefore, we are pleased that you change yourselves to change in the face of climate change.
Thus, the action is to stop harming society
Should we just be looking at focusing on waste? Or should we consider how much we use/consume?
It is better to monitor the amount of waste consumed, after that schemes are created that contribute to educating people about their excessive consumption of waste and to solve this problem
The news story is affecting my area is forest fires , extreme temperatures , floods , hurricanes , storms and melting ice .
These are the headlines that come to our minds when we hear or think about " climate change"we have only one planet to live on, at least for the present .
So ,we don't have an option but to reverse the conditions .
You plan on reversing the conditions,right? If I may ask,what means do u have in mind to reverse it?
Yes, climate change is a very big problem that negatively affects the environment and crops and causes damage, especially in farms, and we must limit it, and we must give some advice to others and alert them to the importance of this matter, and thus increase the awareness of individuals. We previously spoke in a school lesson about the dangers of climate change, but we must maintain cleanliness Agricultural lands, renovating fallow lands, and preserving the cleanliness of our lands. We must prevent factories from establishing them in areas close to the population, and also maintain the cleanliness of the sea beaches, and not throw garbage on the ground, and instead organize the throwing of garbage in baskets for everything, and this helps in the use of recycling things and benefiting from them, so this is why We must work together and confront this big problem and spread awareness among people in all proper ways.
We have learned that
Stopping pollution and carbon dioxide emission is an excellent solution to climate change. But that would mean no traveling, less production, zero power in most places, and zero heating or burning.
That is not a feasible solution. Very little of the human race can survive without emitting carbon dioxide into the air. So what other solutions might we have?
Through photosynthesis, plants consume carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is absorbed through their leaves, and they give out oxygen as waste. Do you see a solution here?
Planting trees is a great way to trap and diminish the level of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere.
A technology based on negative emission is also a good option where machines absorb air and filter the carbon dioxide in it, placing them in cylinders that could be sold for other uses.
yes,I discussed with my friend in my classroom about the causes of ruin of the earth.we talked about the lot of causes,for example,the waste in the streets,lots of cars in the streets and not using bikes,cut the trees,and cities expansion.these causes lead to the destruction of the earth.
the purpose of laws is to establish guidelines and rules that govern society and help ensure order, safety, and justice. Laws can also be used to promote ethical behavior and protect the rights and freedoms of individuals.
Regarding lifestyle choices and carbon footprint, it is important to note that individual choices are only one piece of the puzzle when it comes to addressing climate change. While it is important for individuals to make environmentally responsible choices
As for suggestions for new climate laws, some possible measures include increasing renewable energy production, implementing carbon taxes or cap-and-trade systems, promoting energy-efficient buildings and transportation, and investing in green infrastructure. These measures, if implemented effectivel
Yes. Our teacher talked about a very interesting and modern topic its "climate change". Climate change is when the Earth gets hotter because of things people do like burning coal and the emissions of gas. This makes the weather change in bad ways, like making it too hot or causing floods in different parts of the planet.
Climate change can have a range of effects on the environment and our daily lives. The impacts of climate change are far-reaching and can have significant consequences for our environment, economy, and society. For example, melting glaciers and ice caps can cause sea levels to rise, leading to flooding in coastal communities. Changes in weather patterns can also affect agriculture and food supplies, leading to food insecurity and higher prices.
You make excellent connections to how climate change can affect different industries and communities.
The Palestinian people celebrate Land Day on the 30th of March every year, and we remember the martyrs who were martyred in the occupied land for the sake of the homeland. We wear traditional Palestinian dress, listen to popular songs, dance Dabke, and plant olive trees, which is a symbol of peace. In addition, we raise the Palestinian flag in (buildings, schools, and government institutions)
agree, because in my opinion, the development of these strict laws was only in order to preserve our planet from climate change and pollution, and to preserve our lives from any danger. All laws are important
Yes, I have suggestions to preserve the climate: keeping factories away from residential areas because factory smoke is one of the causes of climate change. Also, planting trees and plants everywhere, using renewable energy and riding bicycles, because car air is polluted and finally waste recycling
Yes, I have suggestions to preserve the climate: keeping factories away from residential areas because factory smoke is one of the causes of climate change. Also, planting trees and plants everywhere, using renewable energy and riding bicycles, because car air is polluted and finally waste recycling
I disagree with your first suggestion,I know you think by keeping away factories away from residential areas the factory smoke will not affect the climate in residential areas but you haven't catered for where the factories will be constructed and remember the gases can be blown away to other places hence causing climate change in those areas.
Yes, we have learned that we must follow many orders to preserve the climate, the most important of which are:
• Not to throw waste and trash in the seas and rivers.
• Not to use trains and cars to a large extent and the use of bicycles.
• Reducing the use of plastic and paper bags.
• We must keep the waste in appropriate containers divided (reuse, recycling, disposal)
In the end, we must preserve our environment, and we must reduce air, water and land pollution.
We already learned that!
And we took some activities on it!
So we learned that we should not throw waste on the ground, and not walk barefoot on the ground of the street, and grow a lot of plants because they produce carbon dioxide, and stop cutting trees and not dumping waste in the seas and not use cars and motorcycles extensively because of the emission and evaporation of smoke resulting from their movement We must use bicycles and we must build factories that emit a lot of toxic gases away from residential and agricultural areas.
We have already learned that, but unfortunately there are some people who do not adhere to these things and do not care about them.
*tougher climate
laws:
Climate crisis means the tall changes in the Temperatures or the weather. This changes may be natural like the solar cycle.but in the 19s century،the human activities became the main reason for the climate crisis ,because they are Burning fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and gas.
To prevent the climate crisis we have to make some laws in our states,cities,homes,and ourseles.like in the cities they must build factories far awey from homes,and the people and peoples have to respect cleanliness and don’t throw waste in the oceans and rivers. But not all the people do that so thatso this led increase the ozone layer and change the weather
So we must protect the environment
Protecting frontier forests is a habit or habit that encourages the consumption of natural energy for fertilizer, water, or energy in food production, and addresses climate- smart agricultural practices and expansion
I agree because, in my opinion, the purpose of strict laws is to protect ourselves and our planet from pollution and climate change, and I have some suggestions to preserve the climate from them
1. Agriculture, because it has the ability to withstand the effects of climate change and drought
2.Reduce the use of oil
3. Changing the electricity network because it reduces carbon emissions
Related to the society, there must be rules and laws applied on people.for example to build factories away from residential areas as much as possible.
to use mass transportation as an alternative to many cars which reduces traffic jam and air pollution with car exhausts and so that to decrease carbon footprint.
We need a healthy environment, so we have to be an active member in preserving and protecting it until we see our land covered in green dress decorated with flowers.
Yes, Our teacher shared a lesson on a climate change, and it was an important and useful lesson, as the teacher showed us the importance of every individual in society in preserving the environment and climate , and the teacher give us several examples.
1-Abstain from smoking.
2-Establish factories away from cities and residential places.
3-Waste and rubbish were dumped on the seashore.
4-Planting trees on the roads to soften the environment .
5-Making awareness leaflets about the importance of preserving the environment.
6-Do not spray trees with harmful pesticide.
"Every great person on this earth was born with great sadness " Fyodor Dostoevsky .
On April 22nd , people from all the world celebrate Earth Day . Gaylord Nelson founded this day in 1970 ,now you ask yourself why ? Because he considers it an environmental awareness day and motivating people to take self initiatives to preserve their environment ...
The first land celebration is the day of the vernal equinox . But what does this day have to do with earth day ? Since the day of the equinox is the day and night of equal time in every place on earth , "mc connell" believed that earth's day should be a time of equality and that people put their differences aside and recognize their common need to conserve the earth's resources ، he has the same opinion , At last i hope to understand serious and important this matter ..
Yes, I learned with my teacher about the diversity of the climate, as it is a natural phenomenon and leads to the diversity of the terrain. It has contributed to the production of crops in different places according to their environment, and basic factors such as water, air and fertile soil must be available. For example, in the mountains of Asir, Yemen and the cities of Hijaz, seasonal rains lead to the diversity of crops and their differences. This something going inMany cities, such as the Levant and Iraq, and this led to human settlement in them and developed into villages, and then cities, countries, and continents. Thus, climate change contributed to the emergence of states
Yes, we did. Our teacher did a PowerPoint lecture about"Earth Day" and our job in preserving our planet from the problems it faces. One of the most prominent problems facing the planet is "climate change" and its causes and effects on the environment are fossil fuels, coal, oil, smoke from factories, and cutting down trees that produce oxygen gas to breathe As a result, toxic gases such as carbon dioxide are released, which leads to global warming, an increase or decrease in temperatures, and a high mortality rate.
From my point of view, we may be part of the problem, and perhaps we are the problem in itself, but have you ever wondered why we are not the solution?!
I think that these may be some solutions to combat the climate change crisis:
1- Recycling waste
2- Planting more trees
3- Preserving the cleanliness of the environment around us
4- Enacting some strict laws that prevent anyone from throwing waste on the ground or any other actions that may harm the environment.
There are many questions that range in our minds and are about our daily lives, our problems, and the issues of our countries, and there remains a question mark that is waiting for an answer, so why do we not stop for a while at these questions and think about answers to them? It is harmful to the people around us or our environment, and we have to take responsibility for each of our actions, because each of these actions may change our lives.
We learned from our teacher about climate change. And about how to protect from climate change, such as preserving water, air, and floors pollution, such as putting trash in the waste basket, putting plastic items in bags designated for them, and not throwing papers on the floors because they affect climate change, and reducing driving, and using bicycles because they have achieved security Peace be upon society and about not changing the climate, and we must follow peace measures to prevent harming ourselves..🚭🚯🚮🚱
"You can't have infinite growth on a finite planet", this meaningful and logical statement makes super good sense and practically down-to-earth And We can't cleverly change if we don't control ourselves effectively.
Hey, yes, I definitely agree with creating the laws, because the first and foremost goal is to spread awareness. In fact, the laws have a huge impact. My mother once told me that some people don't feel the value of something unless they lose it, so what if our lives had no laws? It's a tough issue so it needs to be adhered to and I have some suggestions like planting trees because planting trees increases oxygen and reduces carbon dioxide, uses renewable energy sources, recycling, reduces the amount of garbage and as I mentioned in the first place, laws are important, let's We make the laws of littering, for example, prohibited, provided that the offender is punished with a tax. We emphasize the importance of preserving the environment and the continuation of life naturally, with my hopes that we will progress to what is better
Yes, we have discussed this topic and we are concerned about saving our environment from certain hazards like improper disposal of refuse, Bush burning, over grazing of farm animals, deforestation and so on. There are ways we can reduce such activities on our planet earth. Some of these ways are; we should dispose our refuse in the dustbins while the government and well meaning individuals in the society should have the responsibility of recycling or doing away with them in a healthy manner. The government can do this by imposing laws on their citizens and providing sanctions for non-compliance to such laws. Also, trees should be planted to avoid extinction and also to provide shelter for animals in the forest. Ranches should be built for rearing animals to avoid overgrazing on farmlands so as to allow farmers yield their crops, hence, enhancing agriculture and development. Laws should be enforced on destruction of bushes by burning, because it does not only destroy the earth layer, it also causes air pollution and wastage of resources. Instead, unwanted trees and shrubs should be cleared with advanced agricultural tools to avoid excessive damage to the earth layer and reduce pollution. The purpose of laws generally is to make things work as they should and failure to comply, attracts sanctions and punishments. For example, the laws that provide for wearing of mask while riding a bike wil help reduce certain diseases caused for fumes emitted by such bikes. Therefore, if such law is been enforced, I think the general health of the society will be well secured and a lot of diseases will be curtailed. Abiding by such laws will go a long way in saving the environment and the society at large.
There are some facts and information about climate laws * Climate change has effects on the environment, including shrinking ice masses, ice breaking, sea level rise, and temperature rise. All of this affects humans, animals, and the environment. Also, the main reason is global warming. High rates of heat
This topic increases my awareness toward the environment when we learnt it in our school last week. I understood the reason behind many climate change catastrophes. Sadly, it's people and their style of life. I myself and my family contribute in such crime against the planet. Simple activities lead to spoil this environment. By this lesson, I learnt that we can do something before it's too late. First of all, we should tell others and help them understand the effects of their activities. Then, we take an action toward stoping many bad routines. So we should stop using cars if they are not truely needed. Stop leaving light bulbs on. If we can, be vegetarian. Stop using plastic things that are used for one time. Clean our area. Unplug our devices after using them. Recycle trash. Finally, take these things as a super goal for our life.
Indeed, we had a discussion about Earth Day in my classroom. At the beginning, the teacher was telling us her information about this day, its importance, and why it became an international day. We discussed some matters on our personal level. We are in the classroom. How do we make our environment a friendly environment?
For example, inside the classroom, we must sort the waste according to the colors of the empty cans designated for that. This helps us get rid of papers and at the same time make use of it in organic materials. Thus, we are friends of the environment!
Also, the revival of the International Day is not only about actual matters, because the awareness aspect is very important. We decided to play a play in which we describe the state of the earth, the bad gases, the lack of food and pollution, and ways to solve them, such as reducing carbon and planting trees to protect the environment, and we came out of that day with three words Basic we have learned to get a better environment is learning, awareness, action.
I really like your three words honest_knowledge, they are very powerful! I also really enjoy how you discussed Earth Day in the context of your classroom first. Your comment and experience shows great creativity.
Hi by 2023 I want to bring a law of banning the factories that are harmful to environment and surroundings,because the harmful gases released by a factory can pollute the atmosphere and the environment too.
I do not agree with you on this. Factories are important in people's lives, so it is better to establish a law prohibiting the dumping of factory waste, and for factory owners to plant many trees to purify the air. This is the way to maintain the balance of the environment.
You are right, glad_apricot. People need to work, and we need factories to produce things. But we also need to make manufacturing less harmful for the einvironment. What would you do to make sure large companies reduce air and water pollution?
In reply to glad_apricot, I clearly second you because the it's from factories where peoples clothes can be made as well as the utensils which sustain man's living. So it only requires more efforts in protection of the water bodies and the environment at large by dumping treated wastes in water bodies to avoid climate consequences.
Climate change refers to large and long-term changes in the global climate, and there are several reasons for climate change, including 1- Pollution, which increases the ozone layer, and thus the weather changes.
2- Waste that is dumped in the seas and oceans, so there must be laws for individuals and the government that prevent the disposal of waste in the seas and oceans as well. Treating wastewater in general is an energy-intensive process, which contributes to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions that change the climate and today. Wastewater is wrongly disposed of, as it is drained into the seas and oceans, as happens in Gaza, where it is drained into the Gaza Valley, which also causes skin diseases.
Laws to prevent the pollution
The Pollution Prevention Act establishes a national policy that EPA implements:
Pollution should be prevented or reduced at the source whenever feasible;
Pollution that cannot be prevented should be recycled in an environmentally safe manner
Why do you think pollution still happens as much as it does, despite the rules and regulations that Countries have?
Because countries are interested in economic growth at the expense of environmental pollution, as well as people's non-compliance with pollution prevention laws, and finally the failure to impose sufficient penalties that force people to prevent behaviors that lead to environmental pollution
This is great and very interesting! Do you think we can have economic growth and environmental sustainability? Or is it a trade off?
Yes, economic growth and environmental sustainability can be achieved, but if the heads of companies and economic institutions reach the conviction that polluting materials can be replaced with environmentally friendly materials and get rid of the rubbish in a safe ways.For example,The king Mohammed bin Salman release the (Saudi Green) initiative, which aims Achieving a green future. Saudi Arabia aspires to enhance quality of life and safeguard future generations at home and beyond its borders.
In the climate change topic,first we have to reduce the plastic use. Industries must be built alone, in the surrounding there should not be any towns ,villages and forests.industrial waste should not be mix in rivers,ponds etc.we should reduce pollution by stop driving cars ,bikes instead we can use cycle . We can plant trees.the government should also take sivere action those who are cutting illegal trees and hunting animals . The government also give some law that people should not throw waste on roads, forests,sea ,lake,ponds,river instead put waste on dustbins.we should give awareness to people about climate change.we should make a change.
In the class, our teacher explained to us many issues related to the environment and how many people try to save it while others don't find it a big deal. She told us about many unexpected problems the Earth suffer from by our neglect. She asked us to expect the number of people affected by climate change but none of us could expect such great numbers! It's unbelievable! Then we suggested many ways to help the climate, for example:
1. Educate and help others understand the value of natural resources.
3. Shop wisely but less plastic and bring reusable shoping bags.
4. Reduce the usage of electricity per day.
5. Plant our region with beautiful trees.
6. Use our bicycles since they are healthy and safe or even practise walking for near places.
Earth is a precious gift that we should protect.
hi, i agree with this ways to help the climate because it produces several positive result.including protecting and decorating the earth,protecting human health and increasing their understanding and awareness of the earth,saving money,improving the climate
Hi there ,
I'm really very impressed of this topic . Despite we had a deep lesson about Earth and climate change , your ideas and tips sent here inspired me very much .
I learnt that we should be sensitive about our deeds towards air , water and land to reduce pollution .Government Rules must have (Zero Tolerance) against any bad effects of people who harm our earth that cause pollution .
We should , as small initiative, have serious campaigns of SAVE ENVIRONMNT that can help increasing others' vision about side effects of climate change and how it affects our life in future even life of plans and forests in addition to life of animals .
By doing these strong and serious deeds we can make a change.
Global warming according to my research,refers to the rise in global temperatures due mainly to the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It can also be said to be the long term heating of Earth's surface observed since the pre-industrial period which is between 1850 and the 1900. It is seen to be the "main factor" for change in climate. Therefore,I suggest that there should be a law which controls the disposal of fumes from industries.
Our teachers always promote cleanliness and even we went to interact with our school juniors speaking about maintaining our surrounding clean, afforestation and many more....And they were really interactive with us, they even gave us idea about planting a small tree in each classroom. And yes even our mam spoke about earth day. She explained us about the impact of carbon footprint, pollution etc... It was really a wonderful session for us.
Climate change is the lesson that teacher discussed with us . One of the main reasons for it is our production of CO2 "carbon footprint". It's clear the bad effects of it. But happily we knew that we can help the world to cure its diseases like onngoing famines, heatwaves, acid rain, floods and mass extintion for animals. People contributes in them but if they woork together, they can solve them by planting trees and stop cutting them, reducing the use of electricity, reuse things and recyclr garbage, investing farms, reducing using plastic which remain along time in soil, inventing alternatives for trasportation means that comsume much petrol, and most importantly sharing this knowledge with many people to help the world.
Yes, we had a lesson today, in which we students discussed how to preserve the environment and the actions we are doing that may harm the environment. We discovered that there are many measures that we take for the sake of the environment that may affect it negatively, such as throwing garbage on the roads and in the sea, for example, here in Gaza, some factories throw their waste into the sea, which leads to pollution and the inability to swim in it . Therefore, we must beware of doing these actions. There are many environmentally friendly alternatives, such as plastic bags that have been replaced with cloth bags, and there are other actions, such as the frequent use of taxis, which causes air pollution and increases the proportion of carbon dioxide in it. After this article, I hope everyone will find out about the harmful actions of the environment and replace them with environmentally friendly measures
We have not had any lessons yet on climate change, but personal research has helped improve my knowledge on the topic and how it is important for humans to be deliberate towards protecting the earth. I believe that everyday human activities have direct and indirect impact to the environment and in the long run leading to negative impact on the climate. Simple activities like leaving our electric bulbs on even when not in use, burning of household wastes, and inappropriate dumping waste leads to ozone layer depletion, flooding, and unfriendly/harsh weather, reduced rainfall etc. We need to pay attention to the little things we do that may affect the earth we live in. Government can also help by setting up agencies that will regulate automobile activities like vehicles emission of carbon dioxide that are hazardous to humans and the climate. Humans should reduce bush burning, dumping of wastes in drainages and cultivate the habit of proper waste management and disposal. Waste recycling can also go a long way to reduce this problem and by so doing turning wastes to wealth. Also we can introduce the use of biogas to reduce the way waste is being dumped and all these can lead to a better climate.
We should note that neglecting these issues can later lead to a great problem. Every one counts in our ecosystem and we should do well to keep it safe and improve it.
I will be interested to see if your thoughts and opinions change after you have had the lesson!
Yes, I attended the class on Earth Day and I read the slides that were related to Earth Day. The fact is that they are amazing and strict laws in other countries, but they are very effective in order to protect the environment. Here in my country, Gaza, we do not have such strict laws, but there is a law that imposes preserving the environment, but it is not enough. For example, we have a lot of plastic waste, and people use plastic a lot and it is not recycled. I wish there was a law stipulating that large quantities of plastic should not be consumed and replaced, for example, with cardboard.
I like how you have compared the laws you have in your country to the laws your learned about from elsewhere.
I do not really have much knowledge on climate change,but doing my research helped me know the many effects climate change has on the people in the world at large.Climate change is actually a factor that aids the increment of poverty,for example the floods that climate change causes that sweep away urban slums,destroying homes and livelihood.
Climate change is going to be a huge problem to tackle as many things done in our daily lives are huge contributors to climate change and trying to stop all these things from taking place is nearly impossible but if we take it one step at a time I think it will push us to resolve this problem no matter what , it will reduce the number of deaths that take place every now and then and reduce the serious damages being done to our ecosystem
You have identified that poorer populations suffer from from the effects of climate change than richer ones. Why do you think this is?
Yes, the majority of the adverse effects of climate change are experienced by poor and low-income communities around the world, which are characterized by high levels of exposure to environmental influences of health, wealth and other elements, in addition to low levels of available capacity to adapt to climate change.
Poor populations suffer from the effects of climate change than richer ones because poorer populations do not have the required technology protect themselves from the effects of climate change.
Well my reason is richer populations do not suffer from the effects of climate change as poorer ones do because richer populations try as much as to keep there environment clean yes they do still contribute to the increase in climate change but do not really suffer loss because if they are eventually affected they still do have the funds and insurance to relocate and also fix damages caused but as for poorer populations they do not have these privileges therefore making them suffer huge losses and also because most of the time these areas produce a lot of toxins from there daily activities to the way they handle their waste and refuse.
When everyone participates in a crime, everyone must bear its consequences.
Thus, climate change everyone had a role in its occurrence, but no one is affected by it except developing countries, and this is unfair. For example, we are the ones who must contribute to the cultivation of new crops whenever a sharp decline wave comes upon us and heavy rains fall, where today and I I was going to school, the weather was mild, but suddenly it rained on my head and I am now infected with the flu, I wanted to explain that although the impact of my country is very small, it is receiving a great impact
From my point of view, I think that every country should enact strict laws that urge not to do anything that may harm the environment around us, or these laws in our country may be the best solution to reduce weather fluctuations, climate change and the crises that the country is going through, and we must try to reduce the use of things that can It leads to a high probability of a sudden increase in the rate of carbon dioxide gas escalation, the “carbon footprint.” We do not know how long our planet may survive because of our wrong actions that we do without thinking about its impact on the environment.
No, it does not guarantee the basic needs of the world's population. The purpose of the existence of these trees 💚is to benefit from them, but within limits that we must not disturb the needs of future generations. Well, what should we do?
💫 Plant a tree for every tree wecut down to benefit from it.
💫 Not cutting trees except for essential needs, but not extravagantly.
🧐 What do you think and your point of view?
🧐Shouldn't we look at things in moderation? . .
Earth Day is the day that the world celebrates at the time of the spring equinox. Earth Day is celebrated for several reasons, including (due to lack of awareness about the importance of the Earth and its pollution). There are some things through which Earth Day is celebrated (using the bus instead of cars because it is very harmful. The bus is harmful, but Less harmful than cars, because if every person has a private car, the environment will be destroyed because of the fuel in all cars. Also, environmental pollution damage can be reduced through walking because walking is healthy for the soul and the environment (environmental pollution can be reduced by recycling waste and using it as waste (plastic, iron, and leftover vegetables, such as using it as fertilizer for the land) (((This is my topic about Earth Day 💜 Thanks)))
The importance of our role in preserving the environment.
The environment is beautiful He was also endowed with the source of everyone's happiness .
And to get rid of the garbage that is on the ground Devices must be made to dispose of them.
Also, green plants and trees are among the pure sources that make the air smell beautiful in all cities and countries And we must reduce the devices that pollute the environment . like.. Home appliances that burn energy and architectural installations.
Finally, remember to protect the environment. ☺️
Do you think people would change their home appliances if there were good climate-friendly options available?
naturally Because there will be a lot of modern home appliances It can make the environment pure.
We learnt many things in our class. But now I want to talk about what this term "carbon footprint" inspired me.
To say a carbon footprint for every activity we do shows that we have an effect by each step we take. Such marks are left behind us in the path of our life and others'. No winds can remove it, but we can pay attention to our coming footprints to ensure that they are on the behalf of nature and let the upcoming generations track these footprints to secure our and their life.
Interesting comments poetic_vegetable, what steps will/do you take to reduce your impact and be more sustainable?
Stop throwing rubbish especially plasti. More Tree planting . Using the recycling process to reduce environmental waste. Not wasting food and drink. Reducing using cars which helps in increasing the carbon footprint, and to use what is environmentally friendly, such as bicycles and daily walk for near places.
Yes, the climate was discussed in the classroom, and I believe that the environment should be preserved, for example, plants should be planted and many trees should be planted to purify the air because they give us oxygen and take carbon dioxide that humans exhale in the exhalation process. On electricity, we can use solar energy and work on solar energy cells, especially in the summer, because the temperature is very high, as well as cars that emit harmful and toxic oil in the breath and work on air pollution. The allocated ones are divided into dedicated sections, where companies collect and recycle them, and do not throw garbage into the sea that leads to the death of fish or even disease to humans. It is possible to work on awareness campaigns in the school for children in their understanding not to throw garbage on the ground, put banners in the streets and encourage farmers to plant Most and convince them of that, and since we are in Palestine, planting trees is a necessary thing in all countries, but Palestine enjoys a high position in agriculture because of its moderate climate, fertile soil, availability of fertilizers and natural materials, so we must preserve our land because the land is a valuable treasure that does not perish. It became harmful to live by
In answer to a question, did you Did you talk about Earth Day in your school? Yes, the school counselor used to come to class and And talk about several topics , including about Earth Day And about nature, and we discussed wrong behaviors that destroy nature, such as Use Petroleum cars non-recycling of waste, and throwing Leftovers in the waste , which in turn increases pollution, as well as cutting down trees, throwing garbage into the sea, and burning waste. ,After that, we explained the results of these behaviors And its impact on nature , including the increase in global warming, the rise in temperature, the increase in the carbon footprint, the spread of diseases and epidemics, pollution of the seasand plant death, the destruction of forests, and It will lead to the death of many people and animals ,then it was discussed The correct behaviors that must be followed and why. first Using excess foods in making fertilizer for plants, And recycling waste and turning it into useful things , using cars that do not depend on petroleum to reduce emitted gases , and also relying on renewable energy،and planting trees To produce oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide .
This is correct. I previously learned a lesson about climate change ,and learned that we can be the cause of climate change...but how can we be the cause?
Will,in fact , pollution can be a factor in climate change
We humans create a lot of pollution by cutting down trees for wood. Trees are an essential element in purifying the environment, as they get rid of harmful carbon dioxide gas, and cutting them increases the population of this gas, in addition to polluting factory smoke and many environmental pollutants that lead to global warming and the expansion of the ozone hole ....Therefore, it must be preserved Our environment is clean and the air is purified by planting trees in public and private places, using environmentally friendly means of transportation, and purifying factory smoke.
To mitigate the impacts of climate change, individuals, governments, and businesses can take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable practices. Some strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change include:
Switching to renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power.
Implementing energy efficiency measures, such as using energy-efficient appliances, improving insulation, and optimizing building design.
Reducing waste by recycling, composting, and avoiding single-use plastics.
Conserving water by using low-flow faucets and fixtures, and reducing water consumption.
Planting trees and promoting reforestation absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Supporting policies that promote sustainability and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon pricing and renewable energy incentives.
By taking action to mitigate the impacts of climate change, we can work towards a more sustainable future for the planet and its inhabitants
After our discussion in the lesson, we learned that human activities are the main cause of climate change, and we discovered some of our mistakes and sought to correct them by following new laws. Everyone agreed to save energy at home, to move forward or ride a bike, to eat more vegetables and fruits, and each of us will be responsible for his actions Everyone is responsible for himself first and foremost, right?
I believe that in our town there are many reasons that lead to climatic changes and lead to natural disasters, for example when the ice melts, this leads to a rise in the water level, and consequently floods and desertification occur, affecting agriculture from many economic losses, including the lack of fertile soil, moderate weather and lack of care for it In a better way, what should we do to avoid the occurrence of climate change? Trees must be planted and green areas must be protected and not polluted....... At the end of my words, I would like to better protect our town from climate changes.
To answer the question" of what is the purpose of laws", my answer is to draw limits to the actions that humans can take ،and to maintain order while protecting the rights of citizens and also to work for the renaissance of society in a reasonable and gradual manner way، and protect the Nature and the world from human evil deeds and desires.
My answer to the question ".Were you surprised by the carbon footprint lifestyle choices?" is Yes ,I was surprised, I knew previously that our daily activities increase the carbon footprint,But I did'nt expect it will be so much. In fact, our activities greatly increase carbon emissions in a way that we do not expect, and I did not know the extent of its danger to us, and this gave me a different view of the matter and highlighted to me the importance of solving this problem And it increased my desire to spread awareness among others about the dangers of what we do in our lives of various activities that may destroy the earth one day.
As for the answer to a question, "write down some laws to protect the climate.” First, I suggest Developing a law stipulating the use of renewable energy in the rate of Fifty percent of their energy use.
Secondly, a law should be put in place to prevent and punish people who throw waste into the seas or rivers.
Thirdly, a law should be put in place stipulating setting a specific quantity for factories to produce their products, and that would be sufficient Sufficient to meet the needs of the residents of the area Provided it does not harm factories and keeps profit
Yes, today, we had a discussion about the Earth. I think that the purpose of a law is to make sure that everybody has the same rights, and the same rules. It is also important for justice.
I think an important keyword for discussing climate laws would be "carbon footprint", which is really bad for the planet.
I really like that you make the point that laws are there to make sure everybody is equal. Can you give an example of a law you have in your country which ensures everyone has the same rights?
In my country, we have some laws that ensure everyone has the same rights, like women being allowed to work or citizens having the right to change their religion. But there some laws in my country that are not taken seriously hence makes it difficult for the economy to progress and affect the climate negatively.
Yes, there is one law called : " Déclarations des droits de l'homme et du citoyen" ( declaration of the rights of humans and citizens ). It was voted in the French constitution, on the 24th of june 1793. On the article 3, it states that all men are equal by nature and before the law. This declaration has been fought for during the storming of the Bastille, in 1789. It was also illustrated by a French painter, called Jean-Jacques-François. You can see it in the museum of Carnavalet.
This is very interesting. Well done for being so knowlegable about the history of your country!
We have learned a lesson about climate change. Our teacher explained to us the importance of having a hand in preserving the environment, because pollution of the environment is harmful to climate change, so it must be preserved by: 1- Not throwing chemicals and waste into rivers and seas. 2-Using recyclable materials 3-Intensifying tree planting. 4- Throwing waste in its designated place. 5- Voluntary participation in cleaning gardens and public places. 6- Most of all, educate our children about preserving the environment. 7- The state must enact laws to protect the environment. 8- Disposing of garbage in a proper way, it should not be disposed of by burning it or throwing it in the street. 9- Reducing car rides, as burning them results in carbon dioxide, which is the biggest environmental pollutant. We must follow these tips because we are not exposed to the possibility of global warming, and we must also take care of the cleanliness of the place, whether we are in our home or in a public place, because cleanliness is the title of sophistication and progress.
Thanks for this thorough response glad_keyboard. Can you see any disadvantages to the state introducing new laws around this?
Earth Day is an annual celebration that honors the achievements of the environmental movement and raises awareness of the need to protect Earth’s natural resources for future generations. Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 every year
Here are some ideas to celebrate Earth Day by appreciating and respecting the natural world such as supporting pollinators , cleaning up plastic in our neighborhood or local park, swapping out our Kitchens and household Products, planting trees, and finally using wildflowers and saving water
I second that passing laws is very crucial to keep our environment safe as this leads to:
1- Preventing future generations from smoking and trying to make the country “smoke free” .
2- Protecting children from abuse, harm, violence and exploitation
3- Preventing diseases in the body and brain.
About the higher carbon lifestyles, I was incredibly astonished when our teacher explained them to us. And this led me to the conclusion that maybe the smallest things we do could be the things that cause the spread of CO2 in the air the most. So we have to take care of our behavior.
Can you share some of the examples that you discussed in class? For example, what example surprised you most? Looking forward to hearing more!
One of the main reasons for the increase in the carbon footprint in the world is the increase in cutting down trees that carry out the construction process, reducing carbon dioxide and increasing oxygen
Yes, we learned a lesson about climate change, and our teacher explained to us the importance of our role in preserving our environment, and we must reduce air, water and soil pollution because it affects climate change, and because the cleanliness and beauty of the environment is the source of our happiness in all cities and countries, and we must also preserve Our land is clean of non-recyclable things and we should not throw our waste into the sea... We should keep the seashore clean and safe, and people can help by reducing dirty energy and using clean renewable energy, and we can all make a difference in the face of this climate change and it is time to stop harming ourselves, our land and our country.
Yes… we have talked about climate change.in my opinion climate change is the change of the
Atmosphere due to stuff like water vapor, carbon dioxide methane etc.
But in my teachers opinion the climate change cause is thing called the greenhouse effect.
The greenhouse effect is a effect caused by chemicals like water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane etc.
The chemicals allow sun light in just like the glass walls of a greenhouse. If you don’t know what
A green house is where people plant plants, where the walls are made out of glass to allow sun light
Won’t be easy to get out of it. Climate change has affected Nigeria seriously temperatures have been rising
Drastically, but nothing compare to what is happening globally, there have been floods then places that
Wet now are dry like a desert.
But if we come together we can prevent it by using renewable energy like solar panels wind mills and other renewable energy.
Some good points here - but just to clarify, water vapour does not cause climate change.
Thank you very much I will keep it in mind next time.
Yes we have studied about climate change
Our teacher explained the importance of preserving our environment and our role in that
We must reduce air and water pollution
Because it has a strong impact on the climate
We must also keep our land clean and recycle things that can be used later, and also preserve public property such as the sea and make it clean.
Also, reducing small means of transportation and replacing them with large buses that can accommodate a larger number of people, or replacing them with bicycles that depend on clean and renewable energy. Let us leave environmental pollution and preserve ourselves.
As the teacher said, preserving the earth’s cleanliness is a collective responsibility. Therefore, one of the modern sciences is the science of recycling that preserves the environment, reduces waste, does not consume energy, and produces new things that benefit society, because preserving the environment has a great relationship with climate change and its impact on the air.
I was really surprised by the information that the teacher discussed with us. I did not expect the size of the huge problem practiced by the world by throwing waste and destroying the environment from the waste and exhausts of cars and motorcycles, the smoke of factories and the exhaust of steamers in the water and a lot. Also, I did not imagine the size of this problem. Imagine with me the amount of plastic, which is materialIt does not disintegrate, which is buried daily in the ground and affects the environment negatively. There are many solutions to these problems, such as saving and preserving energy, by turning off all computers, other electrical appliances, and lighting units, when not in use. Choose energy-saving appliances and light bulbs. Participate in local energy conservation programs for the person's place of residence. Reducing air pollution resulting from the combustion of transportation fuels, through the use of public transportation instead of private cars, in addition to encouraging the use of bicycles and walking. Reducing the number of driving times by doing all the tasks at the same time.... Routine maintenance of the private car by following the manufacturer's instructions regarding routine maintenance, such as: changing oil, filters, checking tire pressure, and others. Take care to avoid spilling gasoline when filling up a car, lawn equipment, or any other gasoline-powered device. Use the washing machine or dishwasher when enough clothes or dishes are available. Use environmentally friendly cleaners and paints that are free of water and other solvents. Prevent volatile organic compounds from evaporating and polluting the air, by tightly closing containers containing household cleaners, chemicals, and others.
I agree because... You have suggested reasonable and practical solutions. I think if we follow them as community, we can do so much for our beautiful planet.
In our classroom discussion first we talked about Climate change as a whole topic of it's own since it is the Earth's only way of telling us how it's being affected. It's trying to show us that the activities we carry out are what's causing the climate change for example industrialization emits carbon into the atmosphere hence destroying the Earth's protective layer known as the ozone layer. This is an important part of the earth and if it is destroyed we will suffer on this earth since first of all the earth surface will be exposed to direct sunshine that is not sustainable for our lives so we should struggle to protect it since it is only one and as the saying goes stitch in time saves nine so we should fight to protect it since it can't be replaced. But not only will the ozone layer be destroyed but other dangers will result eg the climate change which will result to things like changes in people's dressing, weather disasters, etc. And the ways we can stop all these problems and save the earth is through changing the activities we carry out eg
By recycling and reusing instead of littering, polluting the earth or manufacturing more things hence emitting carbon through factories.
By using bicycles, skateboards and other means of transport to avoid polluting the air with carbon.
By using renewable energy sources like solar, hydro electricity, biogas,etc.
By practicing re afforestation and afforestation to help clean the atmosphere from the carbon that has already been emitted.
These are some of the few ways we discussed in our classroom discussion which I highly recommend that should be turned to laws.
And for us the tropical talk community should lead this fight for our mother plamet the earth since every thing begins with one step so I suggest we all stand together and take this step so that we can lead by example. We can make a difference.
Thank you for sharing, talented_plum. I think there might have been a misunderstanding here - whilst the ozone layer is important, it is not a cause of climate change. Climate change is when greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap the sun's heat and cause the planet to heat up.
The only thing that I was not surprised about is cars. I have always wanted to implement the idea of free transportation, as previously happened in Luxembourg, where this idea succeeded in reducing people’s use of their cars, reducing carbon and preserving the environment.
Hello everyone
We had multiple talks about recycling and recently, we had a recycling day where everyone wore clothes that were made out of old plastic and paper.
I learnt how important it is to take care of our environment and how so many ecosystems could be thrown off because of our waste.
I learnt that we should walk, ride a bike, or use public transport instead of our cars to reduce the number of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.
I learnt that waste shouldn't be thrown into the ocean so we keep beaches clean and so that we don't destroy wildlife.
We should stop burning bushes because this can cause even more gases to be released into the ozone layer. It can even cause illnesses like asthma in the people around us.
Climate change can be fixed if we start now and create a safe place for future generations.
The law protects individual rights and freedoms and helps to re solve disputes and is a rule of conduct for citizens and maintains justice and equality in society law has a major role in modernization and social chance and setting standards and maintaing order
In our class discussion,we all agreed that the first and the last responsible to protect our planet 's climate is THE GOVERNMENTS.
Hi warm_mulberry, what are some of the reasons you and your classmates thought of?
Hi my dear Fergal
My classmates,I and my teacher had offered many reasons before we took our decision.
For example,
*Persons who needs more awareness
*More factories
*Human 's depending on manufactured foods
*Transports , including traveling, exports and imports.
*High population..... Birth rates Keeps going on I mean.
The governments can control persons, institutions and governments.
Then it will become daily routine.That's it.
I have learned many things, including that I must preserve and protect my environment so that I do not face the consequences of my bad actions, for example the consumption of electricity and transportation, I have learned that they increase the percentage of carbon dioxide, and I have learned that there are some laws that urge the protection of the environment and people as well, such as a law in the beginning The year is 2023 in New Zealand. People born after 2008 are prohibited from buying cigarettes
This law protects people from contracting diseases and protects the environment from smoke resulting from them. I think that the key word, laws, is very important to organize people and make them committed to good deeds and punish bad people for their actions. In order not to be subject to legal punishment, I want you to abide by the laws set by the government.
Yes, we did that in the classroom, and we showed videos explaining the seriousness of climate change on Earth and what would happen to humans if it evolved. This left a great motivation in the students’ psyche. When the problem becomes audible and visible to the eye, this makes it more real and believable to the students. Now all their goal is to end this problem, so the person is searching always about his lifeWhen we impose laws on them to do them, they do not hesitate at all because they have seen the consequences of non-compliance with the laws. Therefore, we pasted pictures throughout the classroom, explaining the seriousness of the problem, explaining the role of man in the problemTo do so, and also they are eager to fix their mistake, so they do the lawsWe also circulated the slogan #Together to eliminate everything that threatens human life
Though we didn't observe earth day in my school, I personally feel there must not be a day celebrating the earth before we try to take care of it. I feel I observe earth day everyday with the little actions I take and if I just waited for earth day to observe such actions the earth may already be a mess by then but personally I feel I still was able to develop various skills such as knowledge of carbon footprint and how my little actions which I may think are unimportant could have a huge effect, I also learnt how to recycle and how I could reduce waste by reusing various things such as plastic bottles and from what we all know our actions don't only affect us because we are not the only ones that live on earth. Our actions also have a huge impact on the animals that we live with like disposal of industrial waste into the sea could lead to huge deaths of ocean animals.
Yes, there was a conversation in our class about climate change. Our teacher told us at the first about what climate change is in general, which are shifts and long-term changes in weather patterns. And we talked about the positive and negative aspects of climate change. Among the positive effects of climate change is the modification of human behavior and the maximization of responsibility for protecting the planet, but in front of these positive effects there are many negative effects of climate change, including the occurrence of severe drought in countries of the world, which is matched by heavy rains in other countries and high temperatures, which leads to The occurrence of forest fires in the summer and the rise in the level of seas and oceans as a result of the melting of ice in the poles. What we must do as human beings to preserve our planet is to preserve our environment from waste and implement campaigns to educate citizens in countries about the dangers of climate change.
I agree 👍 with you. I think it's our role to work hard to stop climate change by recycling and reusing things in that way we stop climate change and increase the economy and income in our country and stop poverty. ✋️ by ✋️ we save the environment.
Yes...we talked about the topic of Earth Day with my teacher, and we talked in groups about the events that take place on it, and we also talked about the risks that the earth will face and threaten in the future, and we also learned how to be environmentally friendly by following the following methods
You should plant a lot of trees because they help increase the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere
Try to reduce the percentage of water in the soil, because increasing it leads to a lack of cohesion of the soil
Do not cause a lot of smoke because it increases pollution and works to reduce its rate
There are not enough climate laws ,we should emphasis on all climate laws but we also need some climat law which will protect the ego system we ,also need a little climate which are supposed to be strict and well respected breking them will resort in jail time and high fine in money. If they not are not enogh climate law some multimillion dollar companies will create even more pollution and a lot of carbon footprint they should understand that the pollution they make is verycostly and and affect planet in many environmental ways and may puncture a whole in the ozone layer. and for country the that a bit under developed these country don't follow the climate law, some of them still cut down trees for fire wood. a recent study was done of a large company which said that they create some factory in little cities which help them reduce tax collection and still create a carbon footprint so all climate rules should affect them where ever they base. some of these companies used to use a gas called cfc chlorophouscarbon which some still use the gas today. Even some of the little things we do such as car driving tree cutting bush burning also make a hole in the world atmosphere
I agree because... climate laws are supposed to be strict, if they are not there's no way that people will stop causing climate change. Generating laws of making people stay in jail for some time and pay high fines will make them conscious of what they're doing, and eventually, they will stop because of the consequences they have to face if they break these climate laws.
I agree because... our earth is very precious and if people don't followed the rules our earth will be in jeopardy so people should follow the rules to protect the world
I strongly disagree because laws in general are made to shape or mold a country. They are enforced to bring progress to the country as well as ensure every person in that country has to freedom to live happily. So when you say climate laws are supposed to be strict, are you trying to imply that those laws are supposed to be made regardless of people's opinions? If so, then I disagree with your comment. I believe that climate laws are made in order to restore our earth and reduce climate change, therefore, making them people-friendly.
I agree because... as you said rules are made to shape or mold a country, therefore if we make climate laws strict it will not ensure the happiness of every person in the country and it will be made regardless of the people's thoughts and opinions.
We have learned many things in the Zoom program about International Earth Day 22nd April, But our National Earth Day falls on March 30 , and we have made a radio program on Earth Day, and we have done awareness activities to preserve our environment, such as not throwing garbage on the ground, not only on the ground, but also in water bodies because it forms an amoeba that infects us We also plant trees. The earth is part of the environment and we must preserve it. To live on Earth.
climate change , pollution, rubbish ، depletion of natural resources، all of it is a dangerous problems There is some awareness among young people، but there is no different , no step has been done , to end this suffering . in fact I don't know , but I feel pain when I see smoke from factories, cars, or waste burning ، I think, that because I know the hard results from it.
our project now reminds me of a project I joined it last year , that time , I said some thing , and now I repeat it again, what if everyone plant a tree in front of his house , this will save time and effortthat the Administrators will , and as you know we are in a race with the time ,so lose is not a opinion.
Yes, I agree that there are laws because laws help maintain order
But when laws encroach on human rights, I do not agree, because in that people become irregular and many conflicts occur, and people live in injustice.
In Palestine there are some laws, including:
Protecting the environment from pollution in all its forms and manifestations.
Public health protection and social welfare.
Will people abide by the laws??
Yes, regarding plastic, our teacher told us about its dangers. This problem is not limited to the individuals rather it affects society as a whole. With the simplest possibilities, we can have positives effects in the future. We can use paper bags and glassware. We learned about the recycling process and as it could be done with simple ways. It is a fact that this problem affects not only humans ,but all living things and thus harm these living organisms, the climate, global warming, forest burning, and the occurrence of disasters, since plastic takes 450 years to decompose.
Environmental pollution is no longer a local problem or is confined to the major industrialized countries. It has become a global problem due to the accumulation of its effects
The causes and factors of environmental pollution are multiple. Generally, it is divided into two types. The first comes from humans, such as industry, nuclear tests, and wars.... The second comes from natural disasters, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and floods...
To solve this problem, we could:
- use waste recycling
- increase green space
- throw dirt in the designated place
- use renewable energy and
- reduce car emissions
Climate policies are not really given the importance it deserves to get and this is wrong, people are not giving much concern to it because the real effects of climate change has not really manifested therefore making people undermine the great damages it could cause. But climate change has already caused so much damage already, like floods caused by the rising of water body levels and the many death cases climate change causes yearly ,this should be alarming enough to show what could happen if we continue like this. So in my opinion we should raise awareness in our various communities elaborating more on the effects of climate change in the world and little ways in which we could work towards reducing its effects to the barest minimum or resolving it permanently especially in rural areas where they do not have much knowledge of climate change and its effects.
Mostly it is rural areas that contribute highly change, for example the way they handle their waste and refuse so raising awareness in these places could be a very good idea.
When we discussed this topic in classroom with our teacher, I felt like where I was from this serious problem that I've never thought of it before especially it affected us in many of our life fields. When we did the activity of guessing the statistics and I failed in getting approximate number, I realized that I have haven't enough information about what is happening to our planet. Besides at the end of the class I determined to look for more information about it so I searched and found that a lot of people especially in Africa suffer from food crisis because of the drought and heat waves that happened because of the climate change, so I thought deeply of how can I help my environment and human all over the world. A lot of solutions come to my mind which I can't Implement because it's the duty of governments, but I told myself I have to be a useful person and think of something even if it is simple to face and overcome this Disaster. We can as teenagers play a great role using social media apps to spread awareness of ways that can reduce carbon footprints done by individuals. To do this I gathered my friends and the science club at a school and discussed this solution. We decided to establish a page on Facebook which educate people in our area about how to reduce the carbon footprints. Now we are planning to do that.
I was sad to figure out the terrible environmental situation our planet has reached. Interference of people and government is a must. Governments should issue laws to stop the people's wrong actions towards environment. BesidesI think voluntary work would make a difference. By cleaning our streets and seas and raising awareness to our classmates and friends about climate change. I hope to succeed in solving this problem.
Climate change refers to the changes that are happening in our planet including rising sea level, 🌊 ice melt in green land and rising temperatures . Coal ,oil and gas are the largest factors to global climate change. The high temperatures change weather patterns and this causes many risks to human beings and all other forms of life on earth 🌎 like the food we eat ,water we drink and the place where we live. we should take an action to stop climate change such as recycling and reusing. Don't throw things instead of that reuse them. Climate change is the most complex and important issue of current world. Because this is a serious threat to human civilization and nature. The natural balance of the earth is under threat due to pollution and poisoning of the natural environment. Therefore, the natural stability and natural balance of the climate depends on finding its cause and solving it quickly. Humans are responsible for climate change and humans must play an active role in its alleviation to protect nature and human civilization, and prevent the threat of climate including:
Purchase Renewable Energy
Make your home energy efficient.
Buy carbon offsets , reduce food waste, recycle
In conclusion I say**Give protection, take protection
Stop using fossil fuels
Hello everyone ............... Yes, I and a group of English language teachers explained these lessons on Earth Day. We presented an awareness lesson to preserve the environment and discussed the issue of preserving the cleanliness of the land, such as not throwing waste And leaves on the ground, and I explained to them that there are big problems, namely (plastic) that causes very, very large pollution to the environment and that there are some people who throw plastic in the water or even burn it, so I asked them a question about how to reduce this phenomenon, and their answers were as follows _________________ Firstly. Recycle Second, reduce the purchase of single-use plastics ****************** “******** And I discussed climate change, that we have to reduce pollution in the environment and keep it clean, recycling waste, placing waste baskets everywhere on the roads and other baskets for recycling, and not cutting trees to conserve oxygen 🌴🌳
I participated in Earth Day by considering 10 actions on how to support Earth Day.
One of the actions was eating more vegetables and fruits ,and i think it's very important because it's healthy and useful.
Another one was limiting our use of plastic ,because it has bad effects in human life .
It causes alot of dangerous diseases .
We also face many difficulties in order to protect our earth .
We must preserve the environment and qualitative balance in it .
Many creatures may become extinct if we don't protect them from pollution .We should keep our environment clean and tidy.
We have learned in science that “action always equals reaction.” The climate was not affected except by human actions. What we are going through now is the greatest evidence of what I am saying. As previously, heads of state united for one goal through the Montreal Protocol treaty to protect the ozone layer. It attracted my attention to how cooperation helped. In solving the problem, what we lack now is cooperation and listening to the youth’s ideas. Youth are the renaissance of society. Every day I see students’ comments. I like their unlimited thinking and imagination. All these ideas need is encouragement and support for their implementation.
Various countries of the world observe World Earth Day . It is a day dedicated to raising public a wareness and taking
measures to protect our natural habitat it was celebrated all over the world . more than 193 countries now celebrate
World Earth Day with a lot of dedication to raising a wareness a mong the people .
World Earth Day was first acknowledged on a global scale in 1990 . On this day some people go to nearby areas to plant trees .while others clean surrounding roods or rivers .
Various professionals join forces to make banners posters or works of art in order to promote open mindfulness .
It is our job to fix the enviroment damage we have caused .
No one is going to approach us and ask for help with the enviroment it is up to us to understand the need to safegurad the enviroment .
You say it is our job to fix any environmental damage we have caused. Can you give me an example?
In my classroom, there was a discussion on Earth Day, where our teachers began to encourage us to bring flowers and plants to plant in the school garden, and to do a project to clean the school so that we get a clean environment. All the students liked the idea, as when implementing this idea, we will get a wonderful school garden full of flowers and Trees from student planting andWe will have a wonderful school environment
I would like to say that my teacher was having a discussion about Earth Day, but I didn't care about her and I didn't care about the environment, and one day my teacher decided that I should participate with her in the (Earth prize) that centered around the environment, exploring the obstacles she faced and addressing her solution and the problem that was We will deal with it is waste management, so we made a school model to explain our idea, and we put sensors to sense the waste when it is full, so it sends a signal to us to know that the waste has been filled, and we also put waste underground to increase the area and waste sorting, and we want it to be sustainable in all UNRWA schools. And after that day I became interested in the environment. We must take care of the environment because the smallest mistake of us does not know what will happen because of it. My advice to you, my friends, is to keep the environment clean and advise your mothers not to get rid of excess food or food peels such as (fruits, vegetables, tea bags, and leftover coffee), but rather use them as natural fertilizers and not throw them away. Outside the clothes you don't need, but donate them.
Although we did not do a practical project about Earth Day, our teachers encourage us to take care of the environment, and that the environment is an essential factor for the existence of life, so how will we live if our environment is dirty, and trees must be planted because they provide us with the oxygen necessary for life, and sometimes we receive treatment from them, and most importantly That we take food from them, so how will we live if the cultivation of plants decreases, and we must know that we are not the only living organisms that live on this planet, so perhaps throwing a leaf of each of us into the oceans can kill the living organisms in the seas, and we will starve, so that you can Fish from sucking and picking up dirt, we will get poisoned and get sick, so we must consider our environment and preserve our planet
I believe that everything we know about climate change and it's effects on the environment has been known since the 1900's. The reason why there hasn't been much work since then to battle climate change is because some people's source of income causes climate change.
FACT: Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere warms the planet leading to climate change. Human activities such as coal burning has raised the atmosphere's carbon dioxide content by 50% in less than 200 years. But industries that burn coal can't simply stop because it serves as a source of income to a lot of people.
Great description of one of the issues! How do you think we can balance the economic impact whilst preserving the environment? Is it possible?
Well, we could start by using carbon capture and storage technology which involves capturing carbon dioxide from it's source and storing it permanently underground. We could also encourage the use of a cleaner energy source like water, wind or sunlight.
My country is very small, it has a large population density, so people do things that negatively affect the environment, including cutting trees. They cut down trees in order to increase the area and build houses and buildings on top of them. Also, cars have become widely spread in my country, and the overcrowding has become unbelievable. They buy cars in order to find an income for their home, and I think that the spread of unemployment is the reason for their purchase of cars and the burning of waste, and this phenomenon is widespread because people want to get rid of waste in any way, because it causes them bad smell, ugly appearance, and other ways.... and other ways Solutions to these phenomena include planting trees, using bicycles instead of cars or collective vehicles, or using environmentally friendly cars that run on solar energy, and increasing the number of waste dumps.
The climate crisis has affected our planet in a big way. What made us take strict laws or solutions in order to overcome these crises. I suggest that the balance in the laws be: 1- We must use renewable energies such as the sun, wind, water and underground heat instead of non-renewable energies because they may work on climate change. 2 _ We have to adapt to climate changes 3_ In the past, we were not able to know the climate and its crises, but now we have evolved and we can know the climate crises. That is why we have developed solutions and laws that will save us from climate crises. In the end, we have to set strict laws so that we can live with climate change
Interesting thoughts Diplomatic_mulberry, why do you think some governments do not focus more on renewable energies?
Because it is expensive. For example, many countries use oil and fuel in electricity instead of solar energy, because it is more difficult to install and cost more.
Interesting! How do you think we should overcome this?
I agree with you because non-renewable energies cause pollution in the air and the environment, such as oil, nuclear fuel and coal, so we must use renewable energies
We can reduce carbon footprints by:- 1- Spreading awareness among people, for example, through the Internet, school radio stations, or educational banners in the community. 2- Reducing the use of electricity, for example, not operating unnecessary devices, or not lighting lamps in unoccupied places. 3-Not eating fast food every day 4- Reducing the use of gas 5- Not to throw waste, but to contribute to its recycling 6- Reform and development of fuel-consuming transportation methods 7- Increasing the planting of trees and plants and reducing urban sprawl
The importance of our role in the environment is to reduce waste to maintain our safety, it must be preserved because the cleanliness of the environment is the source of our safety and non-infection with diseases
It is necessary to reduce carbon footprints because it is a very big and dangerous problem facing the planet, and the best way to do this is to be responsible. I think the role of schools is to spread awareness among students and governments, to spread awareness among parents and people as a whole, and it is possible to set strict laws in order for them to adhere to these instructions
It is possible to rationalize the consumption of electricity and water and use them more effectively, purchase high-efficiency devices and equipment, recycle materials (waste), exploit mass transportation and construct green lands.
Moreover I think that climate change can lead to a tragedy for humankind. Global warming causes ice bergs to melt which leads to rise in water levels and results in flooding. It can also lead to decrease in forests, increase in deserts, decrease in food production and drought. This will cause humans to migrate to a region that is more manageable. But it can also lead to the fulfillment of the Malthusian theory which states that the population will grow faster than food production which will lead to famine. All of this can ultimately lead to the extinction of the human race. We need to take action now if we want to save our home and ourselves from extinction. Today it might just be a little flooding but later on it might lead to events like forests sprouting in the Arctic, abandonment of most coastal cities and mass starvation.
Yes, our teacher made a discussion about Earth Day, and the discussion began by asking us and testing our information about Earth Day. One of the students in my class said, “We celebrate Earth Day, but we do not play our necessary role in protecting it from the dangers that limit it. From here, another discussion started, and it was about environmental pollution, so we decided The risks resulting from environmental pollution, including climate change, and at the end of the discussion, we came up with ways in which environmental pollution can be reduced on our planet.
Plants are very important in our lives it gives us O2 and takes Co2
it also provides us with food for human being and animals and it gives us beuty
We should protect the plants ,and grow more and more trees. We should stop cutting them ,and avoid using materials that could destroy them.
There is 7 bilion people live in earth plant, everyone is trying to provide what it takes to maintain their health and safety, there is many factors that lead them to death ,one of these factors is environmental pollution ,there are many factors that lead to increased pollution such as:
planes it is a double edged sword, it is a means of trasporting passengers and goods by air ,it can accommodate a large numbers of passengers and transport them across the world, so it is useful for humans ,but planes contribute to an increase in carbon dioxide by 2% so it leads to a major pollution in the earth .
We should use means of transport instead of pleans ,a means of transportation that doesn't lead to pollution such as:
trains powered by water and steam or the cars which powered by sun or making pleans powered by renewable energy that don't lead to environmental pollution.
Although there is no talk among people about Earth Day and how to preserve it, but when I get to know or talk to a person, my first interest in talking is that it is about the Earth and encourage me to know how to preserve the Earth and talk to him about Earth Day because I see it even if it is With a small part, we have to raise awareness and preserve the land, and so we can live in a place where awareness spreads about the importance of the land, as well as the importance of setting laws so that people are committed to preserving it.
We can also reduce our carbon footprints 1- Not throwing waste because it causes air pollution and environmental pollution, for example: throwing excess food and plastic, and we can reduce it by recycling it 2- Reducing the use of electricity because it consumes fuel and fuel pollutes the air. Example: using the phone all the time and operating unused devices. 3- Reducing factories, for example: those that burn coal and manufacture oil, because they pollute the environment and air
I personally have an opinion about the question of the pollution problem resulting from cars. We can say that this is an important problem, and therefore it was necessary to talk about it. Cars, on the positive side, are very important to humans, but on the negative side, they produce smoke that often affects climate change. I have been able to find a solution to this problem, which is the use of solar-powered cars, the use of public transportation such as buses as a substitute for cars, and these are some solutions to get rid of the problem of pollution
I think the consumers that buy plastic products are the main reason . Because the weight of all the plastic produced in a year is roughly the same as the intier weight of humanity but only 10% has been recycled. If the consumers boycott these products, the companies will stop producing. And they have to find a alternatives. An example to support this position, a company in Bulgaria has found out a way to make coffee cups made from biscuits that a person can eat it after drinking coffee.
We had a great session regarding the climate changes ! We had a sought of questions from our higher authorities which had driven our discussion and honestly I have learned alot from the sessions . I learned that small things matters so let me give a example now it's summer season in our country and every body want cool surrounding around themself so we switch on AC just for 1 hour but we don't know how much carbon dioxide is emitted by the AC ,let me tell it emits 5.8 kg if it continues for a month it can emit 1370 of carbon dioxide, the carbon dioxide we release to make our lives comfortable affects the lives of our future generations. Carbon dioxide damages the ozone layer which is completely made up of oxygen and it also protects us from the UV rays emitted from the sun and the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by us for our own needs is known as ''carbon footprint ''. So every small things we do in our day to day life increases the rate of carbon footprint and this affects our future generation .
when i read the title earth day i remember my mum when we are three , she always said to us dont throw any things on the earth, you should keep it clean. now we are getting old and we advice kids to save the earth
Also, there are many problems, including the problem of garbage, as garbage contributes and helps in climate change, and through our study of the Earth Day festival in my class, we found many solutions to this problem, including
1 making paper bags instead of nylon bags (and this idea is still applied in some Arab countries
2 Recycling
3 Using garbage containers in front of the houses, one for organic materials and the other for plastic
4 Using excess food materials such as fertilizer for plants, and this is the best solution for garbage disposal
The environment is the only factor for the existence of life on Earth, and without it there can be no life on Earth, and in our solar system there are other large planets, but there is no life on them due to the lack of the environment, and therefore it is necessary to preserve and protect them from any danger threatening them such as pollution.
To preserve the integrity of the environment, we must reduce pollution and find solutions to some of the problems that our environment is exposed to. The role of man in preserving the integrity of the environment is represented by making sure that the place in which he lives is clean, whether it is his home or his city, because cleanliness is the basis of all progress and advancement, the title of civilization, and a manifestation of faith.
I remember last year, on World Earth Day, we and the neighbors of the neighborhood agreed to make a clean-up campaign for our neighborhood by planting trees and throwing waste......They were accepting of the idea, and when we started cleaning and decorating, we saw people from the neighboring neighborhood doing the same. We were very happy with that and determined to deliver the idea of a clean environment to all the neighboring neighborhoods....
And since that day, I have not seen any garbage on the ground, so the lesson from that is to urge others to clean the environment because a clean environment prevents the spread of diseases and works to reduce the phenomenon of climate change and increase its flexibility.....
Do you do work that helps in the renaissance of the environment? ..share your story with me
It sounds like the campaign was very successful!
A green environment is important for Humans , so I believe that humans must give priority to the needs of the environment over any other needs by preserving it from urban sprawl, eliminating forests, and resorting to unnatural processed foods, which reduces agricultural production. Because if a person eliminates the green environment and forests, he will not find a place to live, and there will be no place for wild animals to live, and natural resources will be eliminated, and because urban sprawl eliminated wildlife, civilizations caused the loss of 83 mammals and half of them from plants, as the impact of factories and means of transportation and their impact Harmful to the environment, because cities are responsible for all carbon emissions that are harmful to the green environment, and today 1 million species of animals are threatened with extinction, and people must find solutions to the problem of urban sprawl, allocating agricultural and wild places, and because villages far from cities are difficult to transport things to, and no Companies in the village can work with anyone abroad because travel is difficult. Villagers can secure their needs with the least polluting means of transportation, or through tourists they can transport some things during their trip. Plants can also be grown in cities, on the edges of roads, or in gardens. , or designing green bridges and underpasses to safely pass animals, and by including green areas such as parks and farms that give people space to enjoy nature and also provide a safe space for wildlife. Transforming buildings into green spaces. Thus, we have preserved the green environment, forests and wildlife intact, without the extinction of any kind of animal.
I think that the government should place stricter laws regarding climate change or how to tackle these changes in our climate.
Our solutions in tackling climate change should be top priority don't forget there were spceis which died due to climate change examples are the wooly mammoths and the sabertooth tigers during the ice age and dinosaurs during the jurassic era
Infrastructure plays a huge role in the development of societies by improving communications, facilitating transportation, and protecting cities from floods.
It is known that the infrastructure in the Gaza Strip is very old and has been damaged as a result of the repeated aggression and blockade, without the availability of the necessary projects to repair it.
In the winter, large areas are exposed to flooding, which leads to traffic disruption and obstruction of students' access to their schools and study seats, in addition to preventing employees from reaching their workplaces.
On the other hand, it is absolutely necessary that international institutions support and finance infrastructure projects to relieve people and promote sustainability.
Earth day
On this beautiful day, the streets and roads are cleaned, and everyone cooperates in this work to maintain a clean and distinct environment. There are some negative aspects that pollute and harm the environment. These negatives include:
1- Air pollution because of car exhausts due to the large number of cars as a result of the high population density in ,
and air pollution also due to smoke factories and waste incineration.
2- Water pollution due to the dumping of factory exhausts and sewage.
That is why we must maintain the cleanliness of our environment to keep it clean and beautiful. All the world desires it.
One of the heartbreaking phenomena is the phenomenon of begging. When I go to school, I am dressed neatly and cleanly, but I see on the streets people wearing half shoes and shabby clothes emanating the smell of poverty, extending their hands hoping for a compassionate heart and a giving hand that will give them some money. Most of those I see are children who should be in school rather than on the sidewalks. I don't know the reason behind their displacement, but I know well that they have the right to life like other children in the world. There is a saying that goes: "If poverty were a man, I would have killed him."
Yes, we had the classroom season with our teachers concerning Earth Day: Tougher Climate Laws which goes in line with what we do in our school because for us we have different dustbins for example decomposeable and non-decomposable rubbish like plastics are collected and sorted into the different dustbins and displaced in their rightful areas for further maitainance like burning the plastics. The rubbish which can decompose like avocado, mango and cassava peelings are disposed in the garden to hence fertility of the soil when it rots (humus) hence benefit to the crop resulting to good yields.
we take. Many lessons about the environment and its importance and how to preserve it, even if we learn that simple things that we do can be a cause of environmental degradationEnvironmental problems have become a threat to the lives of humans and living organisms
As a result of pollution and global warming of drinking and life, and with the continuous increase in temperature on the planet as a result of global warming, many countries are threatened with the disappearance of entire cities and submergence of agricultural lands as a result of the rise in sea and ocean levels, and the number and severity of devastating storms has increased. Many cities are threatened with destruction. It has become an imperative to draw up plans at the level of the world, countries and cities to preserve the environment and achieve sustainable development
Many organisms have become extinct and many other organisms are threatened or on the verge of extinction. Sea waters have been polluted and rivers and lakes have been poisoned, threatening fisheries and basic water sources.
Fighting pollution and confronting global warming. Accordingly, there is a need to clarify the meaning, definition and components of the basic environment as the basis for man's plan to save the planet and develop his civilization to become an environmentally friendly civilization
The life we live in is the most precious thing we have, and therefore it is better for people to preserve this environment in which we live, even if governments are able to impose rules and laws that reduce pollution, but it is not possible to escape from these environmental disasters unless a person is able to treat the environment.Recently, it became clear that the quantity of weapons and missiles that hit the ground on a daily basis is basically disturbing the layers of the earth and causing a lot of damage to the environment. It also became clear recently that building dams and sequestering water is the main reason for the occurrence of earthquakes, and therefore we were created with a mind to manage life and to find a lifeline from these disasters
A few days ago, it was the Palestinian Earth Day, and we discussed it in class. It became clear to us that we are the reason for the climate change from better to worse, as we did not care about our land and environment. Therefore, we must work to change the climate after polluting it, and we can do that by:
1- Raising awareness about the importance of quitting smoking.
2- Building factories away from residential areas.
3- Increasing the cultivation of plants and trees.
4- Using bicycles instead of cars and motorcycles.
i agree with this but electrical cars would be more practical than bikes. and the fact that factories dont need to be near residential areas to affect the climate.
I see that with the advancement of technology and the development of buildings, large areas of agricultural lands are being looted and facilities are established in what is called urban sprawl. This reduces the right of plants to take their rest in growth, but it increases the rate of poverty and famine in some countries because in some countries agriculture is the main source of food and fulfilling their needs. It is for governments and the state to find a solution that addresses urban sprawl, and it can stipulate laws and pay a fine for those who violate the law. This is how society’s awareness increases, and plants are given their right and rest in growth 🌾
After a long classroom discussion with my teacher about Earth 🌎 Day, l felt that 😭 human beings are in real danger . People should be aware of the Doomsday Hour . There's no long time to negotiate the matter 😞 . The picture of the Doomsday Hour should be put on the screens of mobiles, TVs and computers to make people feel the danger they are going to have . Really, in my country we start to suffer . For example, the trees in my father's farm were spoilt because it rained in April, unusual to rain in this month . I think that people who are behaving passively against Earth 🌎 should be put in a prison because it is a man-made crime .
Recently, the Red cross estimated that more refugees flee from environmental crises than violent conflict. Effects of climate change such as drought and flooding will force people to run for their lives. The overflowing population will lead to battles for natural resources, acts of terrorism and declaration of war. People who are not privileged enough will suffer more. I think that the government should impose more climate laws to keep us from being the cause of our own downfall.
Although in the classroom we did not make any discussion about Earth Day, but television programs and radio stations were not limited to urging us to preserve the environment, as small things may negatively affect the environment. As soon as we work hand in hand, we will preserve nature
I believe that strict climate laws must be applied due to the bad conditions that have resulted from negligence in the environment and climate, and that our talk should always be about the reconstruction of the earth and the preservation of the climate so that we do not reach the point of destruction
Earth Day is a really special day for every individual who represents his country, so we always celebrate it in memory of Earth Day to enhance the spirit of belonging to this land and preserving it. Likewise, our teachers always receive stimulation in schools and encouragement to realize the importance of this day because in the event of damage to the land, i.e. the environment, it negatively affects nature as well. Natural disasters that can occur at any possible time pose a great danger to the land, soil, and the environment in general. Throwing garbage on the ground may lead to many problems and help spread pollution or throwing glass anywhere, as well as throwing these things into the sewage system that causes great damage and forms a blockage. In the water, you may see it as simple, but it causes many risks, and the increase of this will cause a health crisis and a major economic problem. Likewise, we as humans have a mind that understands and responds, so we must act wisely, as well as preserve water bodies and beaches. We are not the only ones on earth. There are wild animals and animals in water bodies, so with this bad behavior We cause them harm, as well as cause the death of many of them, like names in the sea. When we throw waste and garbage, it causes their death and pollution of water bodies. Therefore, governments must also strive to enact laws to help preserve the land and the environment to prevent the occurrence of all these problems that cause many great risks.
A short time ago, I was ignorant of the amount of damage caused by environmental pollution, but since the teacher raised this topic to us, my perceptions opened towards this thing, and I began to think about its impact on our lives after several years and how it will constitute severe disasters for people, which made me feel responsible, and think of solutions to reduce it. And I concluded that it is necessary to expand the scope of this topic, because the people have a lack of awareness about this issue, as I mentioned at the beginning that I did not know about the seriousness of pollution, and there are also many people like me, so if every member of society realizes the importance of this issue, he will become more responsible for his actions that he He believed that it was trivial and would not cause any harm. I know that it is important to impose strict laws, but it is also important for the individual to preserve the environment, not just because there are laws that compel him to do so, but that after being aware of the subject, he contributes to preserving his environment with sincerity and love.
I know that it is important to impose strict laws, but it is also important for the individual to preserve his environment, not just because there are laws that force him to do so, but after realizing the issue, he contributes to preserving his environment with sincerity and love.
There is no doubt that the power outage had a negative impact on the students' academic achievement and the irregularity of their studies as a result of the poor regularity of the current schedule
please help save planet Earth or else we will die of global warming,too! Help the environment by recycling and composting more than throwing garbage.
I saw a can while I was at the park and that causes climate change! Eat more vegetables more than meat.
Don't use electricity more, also buying things that lasts very long like Anzac biscuits.
The awareness is not enough most people don't have an idea for it how about we make people know by making it as a commercial on TV stations to reduce the risk I guess by 0.01% rationally we could do it ourself but we have to change our attitudes towards the climate and the earth as well
I think the answer to lower carbon admission is to educate the public what causes pollution and climate change. I'm surprised at the number of people who have no idea what causes pollution. We should educate people that every single item produced , fossil fuel was burnt to produce . Everything from an aircraft -carrier to a pin or even one life grape , fossil fuels was burnt to produce it.
Technology is good but , in some cases , has increased pollution considerably . Technology has brought us better and safter automobiles but the modern automobile is almost twice as polluting to manufacture than vehicles built 20 years ago. People buy Hybrid cars because they believe they are good for the environment. In fact ,the Hybrid would have to be one of the highest polluting vehicles to Manufacture. Virtual built by robots has caused more pollution than vehicles built by humans . Technology has brought us the computer which is good. But the computer has brought us things like Online Shopping , which is trin has created massive pollution. Other major pollutners are , the mobile phone , clothing, shoes , toys, to name a few. All of the above is not what I see. I get this information from people who know much more about pollution than I do.
To add in, one hot point has been missed in the report that is war. In fighting, due to political differences, countires have been using bombs to destory to enemies since early 2001 and they have not succed but the bombs are realising CO2. It should be count when collecting data about greenhouse emissions.
Yes. We had a discussion about climate change. Our teacher taught us about climate change and how to save our environment. The first key word is law. We saw many laws which are in various countries .The second keyword is carbon footprint. In this session only I came to know that making burgers takes 60kg of carbon emissions. It is unbelievable to me.
So, I think we must reduce our carbon footprint.
Some of the easiest ways of reducing the carbon footprint are as follows.
1.Consume local and seasonal products (forget strawberries in winter)
2. Limit meat consumption, especially beef.
3. Select fish from sustainable fishing.
4. Bring reusable shopping bags and avoid products with excessive plastic packaging.
5. Make sure to buy only what you need, to avoid waste.
I think the feeling of hopelessness is understandable when we talk about the political aspects of climate change. It's not that we think humanity as a species is not capable of solving cilmate change, it's just structurally difficult to pass any cilmate legislation when the fossil fuel industry has so much influencce in government. As for me, I'm pessimistic in the short term but optimistic in the long term. More and more young people who care about this issue will become eligible to vote, and we'll gradually win.
Since Monday, my Social Studies teacher has been teaching us about Earth Day and the reason behind this important day. She has taught us that Earth Day is an annual celebration that honors and celebrats the achievements of the environmental movement and raises awareness of the need to protect Earth's natural resources for the better. In doing this our Earth become cleaner for everyone and make it a better place to live in.
I also learned about our carbon footprint and ways that we can reduce it! A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane, that are produced by our actions. We release carbon dioxide by just breathing! In doing so, this makes our Earth warmer and that leads to climate change. The hot energy breaks the barrier that protects us from buring up. But no worries, because we can reduce it by turning switches off, turning off the lights, using windows for air, giving electricity a rest, and lastly by taking the stairs.
An interesting discussion you have started.
Why might the metaverse be a good thing for society? Why might it be a bad thing? Who should make the rules for what happens in the metaverse?
It would be a good thing if the person used it well, such as in the year 2020, in the Corona pandemic, schools had to stop working, so I used the distance education method through electronic communication with students and discussing them
It is bad when a person does not find an oversight, so he calls out for making mistakes, such as continuous playing on the computer, which negatively affects academic achievement and the morals of the person.
Rules for these programs must be set by those responsible for their creation, or parents must monitor their children's phones, or by setting rules for their users
I feel individuals should bring the issue of climate change into consideration when making their personal daily choices. They should put it at the back of thier mind that their choices will later on affect them and they people both care about and do not even know they should also note that the better our choices the more man-made diasters can be partially eradicated and more natural diasters can be curbed. Also, not only governmental organizations but also non-governmental organisations should set out enlightenment programs where they educate individuals on the effects and how to curb climate change. In addition, when dealing with the remote areas or locations, they should employ the use of practical and demonstrative methods to pass out their message because they will or may be dealing with illiterates. After such methods are employed and have been studied and diagnosed with little or no change over a good period time, the government may now be allowed to take matters solely to their hands by enforcing strict policies and rules to be maintained and adhered to by citizens inorder to curb and fight against climate change for the better of the planet.
Yes, we did discuss in our class about climate change. In the discussion we had, everyone brought their ideas on what they think climate change was, and we also discussed the causes of climate change which are:
-Burning of fossil fuels.
-Smokes from factories.
-Deforestation.
-Smoke from burning rubbish and materials.
-Excessive use of electricity.
Here are some of the consequences or effect of climate change
In my comment on the discussion about climate change I wasn't done, but mistakenly submitted it, therefore this is the continuation.
Some of the consequences or effects of climate change are:
-Flooding.
-Drought.
-Loss of crops.
As a biology student and a keen observer of climate change debates, I am eager to put forth my opinions about topic of climate change and it's consequence. People may think climate change as a small ripple in the ocean, But they're failing to notice the bigger picture.
Being one of the most populous country, India stands third in the energy consumption (acc, IEA 2021) and coal as its top energy source at a rate of 40% followed by oil at 23%. And the energy consumed is directly reflected in the carbon footprint. Even though the government make "protection acts"( like, Environmental protection act, 1986) to prevent the major consequences of depletion and deteroiration of natural component, failed to propagate the ideas through the people to change their lifestyle and commit themselves for the good cause.
But, Today's youngsters, my fellow pals, are turning the table.
Last year, I and my neighbourhood friends decided that we swore to ourselves that we will make a move towards the green path.
Things we did include, Taking public transport to school, saving electricity and water by using when it's necessary and avoid littering. We passed on this step to our schoolmates too. Though it's a small initiative by a group of school students, it's still one step forward to the defence of the environment.
"A treasure can never be tout with a tatter" ; that's our motto.
Environment is our treasure and we shouldn't let out treasure go waste. Better environment, better climate, Better society and Better life.
Betterment of life can only occur if we take responsibility of our life in our own hands. Maybe we would be a big organization one day, working towards the cause of the 'treasure'.
Because, We believe in the fruit of future that we worked so hard to sow in the present. Advance happy earth day everyone.
I came up with an idea some years ago-making plywood from recyclable leaves.
This would save many trees. I made a small prototype and it is possible and simple to do.
Unable to get a patent,and with no more money to invest,I offer or give this idea to anyone interested. saving our planet one idea at a time is far more important than commercial greed.
In my school, we recently organized and initiated a recycling fashion parade where students made outfits from recyclable materials like, paper cups, bottle covers, grain bags, etc. We also have PSHE(Personal, School and Health Education) classes and teachers encourage us to solve big by starting little.
We also partner with some organizations that help spread awareness on carbon emissions. We took part in an event where we planted trees, rode bicycles, and encouraged students to carpool.
We can help the eco-system by just turning off your taps when brushing our teeth or washing dishes which saves a couple of gallons a day, hundreds in a month and just enough to fill up a large fish tank.
We can solve big by starting small.
Reducing greenhouse gases is kinda vaque; the biggest ways you can do this is eating less animal products (fish, meat, eggs, milk, etc.), taking public transport more, saving energy and if
possible installing solar panels.
What I really consider is the oil infrastructures. Oil mining causes intensification of the greenhouse effect, acid rain, poorer water quality, groundwater contamination and so on. People create mining sites and destroy nature in the process. Sometimes fire can start and kill people and animals even nearby plants can be affected. If ever the mining site should close the surrounding area would have been destroyed due to constant digging. Oil spills in these infrastructures contaminate soil and water and may cause devastating explosions and fires. I really think that the federal government and industry should develop standards, regulations, and procedures to reduce the potential for accidents and spills and to clean up spills when they occur. Also when oil and gas wells become uneconomic, government should properly plug and abandon under applicable state and/or federal regulations. These procedures are designed to properly seal off subsurface rock formations and to restore well sites to their original condition .By doing this the environment would at least be a little bit safer.
Hi, we tend to believe that what we perceive is exactly what our eyes see, our beloved teachers explained the importance and the effects of the climate change, we do see the real scenario of the climate changes happening around us. Supporting EARTH DAY, we did volunteer program on global warming and made posters for the awareness during our science exhibition. We made it unique in addressing how law are designed to protect our environment from all three dimensions address Individual, corporate and the government. Our idea here is to insist all the listed three have equal responsibility in the transition to net Zero-emission and not to finger point others. The biggest footprint is from the transportation industry, we highlighted the following.
• Use bi-cycle (petal based) and walking for shorter distance instead of car, use public transport rather a car for a single person.
• To manufacture more carbon free fuels and other renewable energy sources (I read an interesting article “20% reduction in ship speed can save 20-25% of CO2” )
• Government to regulate traffic by laying good roads and support pedestrians first policy with strict and punishable laws during violation.
We students support net Zero-emission for our future world.
Imagining climate had a mind of its own and decide to punish us for all our activities that's affects it, do we really think we would survive?😅🤣
My point here basically,is just to encourage us to care for the environment we find ourselves in considering the high rate of some natural disasters which have been occuring world wide. It simply helps us notice or tells us that the little things that we might think do not affect out climate in anyway may actually be a major reason for change in climate today. For example, disposal if our waste both chemical and from our bodies into water bodies greatly affect the sea animals although we do not leave under water. Also trees could also be planted by roadsides etc to avoid global warming and also help purify the oxygen we breathe in. Therefore my fellow mates, let's reduce our carbon footprints and live a life without diseases or any adverse effect due to change in our climate
Certainly, here are some hypothetical and creative ways to suggest climate laws:
●Implement a law that requires every person to adopt and care for at least one tree throughout their lifetime, with penalties for those who fail to meet this obligation.
●Pass a law that mandates every household to limit their energy consumption by a certain percentage each year, with incentives for those who exceed the target.
●Implement a law that requires every vehicle owner to plant a certain number of trees each year to offset their carbon emissions.
●Implement a law that requires all new products to have a label indicating their carbon footprint, so consumers can make informed choices about their purchases.
●Establish a law that requires all corporations to donate a percentage of their profits to climate change research and development of sustainable technologies.
I really like your last two suggestions!
In school and at home we have been encouraged to stop littering as caring fly said can cause floods because they can block drainage systems and now because of less land available ,people in the country build on water ways (places left for water to pass) to not use extra money on land, and climate change problems can also be caused factories and transportation devices , I know that we cannot cease from using plastics, factories and cars , but using more nature friendly resources like recycled paper (regular paper also causes climate change because of deforestation) instead of plastic, bicycles for short distances instead of cars to reduce climate change and destruction of the ozone layer.
Discussion about environment, small ways to reduce carbon footprint, are discussed very often in our school. We all were told that each one plant one would have a huge impact. We are always encouraged to come to school by walk or by cycle, rather than motor bikes. Since the school has spacious classrooms, and in the campus, we have lot of trees around, it motivates us to create our own garden.
Whenever students do some prank at school, they would be asked to water all the plants, help the gardener in the integrated farmland that the school is setting up. Thus, instead of wasting time standing outside the classroom, or running around the campus 3 or 4 times, even in the name of punishment, the students are made to do something that would be of some use to the environment.
As a part of UN Public Service Day, every year, we honor all the staff with gifts and thank you cards, who are doing social work, including those who come to our school to collect the garbage on behalf of the village office.
These and many more such small ways are made possible, because of the sustained effort taken by the school to talk about the environment.
Climate change has many damages that have affected everyone. It has made people suffer from constant anxiety and fear because of their thinking of how to protect themselves from it, and this has affected their mental health. But there are good solutions that everyone can do without exception to mitigate the effects of climate changes. For example, the simplest solution is to keep the environment clean. Reducing its pollution will reduce the production of carbon dioxide, which will reduce the incidence of climate change.
"Consequences, Schmonsequences, as long as

This quote pretty much sums up the mentality of

progress is nothing short of miraculous.
We CAN do this; we CAN be better. We WILL do
better.
In the lesson we had in about tougher climate laws, I learnt that at the start of 2023 in New Zealand, people born after 2008 were banned from ever buying cigarattes or tobacco products. This rule is a good one to be passed in order to minimize the death rates of the people with in the shortest time.
I agree because...
The rate at which young people are over consuming or taking drugs like marijuana, tobacco has led to high rate of mad people in my locality, so it necessets to be passed as a law to minimize its effects from the public.
Earth Day is a wonderful opportunity to recognize and celebrate accomplishments while also raising awareness about the importance of environmental stewardship. It is celebrated on April 22nd. Senator Gaylord Nelson established Earth Day on April 22nd, 1970, to force the issue onto the national agenda, with twenty million people participating in thousands of different cities. We observe Earth Day by participating in activities such as litter pick-up and tree planting. Do we need to celebrate Earth Day, and does it affect the climate? Yes, we do, and it is critical that we are consistent in our approach to raising awareness, educating our citizens, accepting responsibility for our actions, and even finding ways to motivate and reward people who take the initiative.
l have noticed that even older people are starting to accept Climate change. When l was little, l remember older people always tolde me " Climate change doesn't exist" and"Even if it does exist, we can't do anything about it" New older people are either silent about Climate change, or they agree that it's a problem, but it's the younger generations that are going to have to fix it.
Interesting insight, @peaceful_politics. What do you think is causing this shift in views?
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our times. Sport plays an important role as part of the solution
Sport is a key social platform that can reach and influence millions of peoples worldwide and raise awareness on climate change, promote a culture in favour of climate action, and champion sustainable behaviours
The sport sector can contribute to tackle climate change by reducing sport organizations's climate footprint while governments and international organizations facilitate this goal by setting right policies and guidelines.
Can you suggest some ways that you think sports could be more sustainable?
Sustainability in sports means conducting the sports event that makes use of environmentally friendly procedure to lessen the gloomy effect on the environment. It permits the organisers to minimise carbon footprint.
The ways in which sports will become more sustainable is to eliminate use and throw plastics, public transportation can be used by the audience, used recycled cups to sell.
In some places these had been already initiated.
1. The IOC has eliminated single use plastics at its headquarters.
2. In volvo ocean race," Turn the tide on plastic" is a volvo ocean 65 yacht. This also collects data on microplastic in ocean.
3. As a honour for ' Earth Day ', the US football league's team wore a jersey created from ocean garbage.
4. Chinnaswamy, a cricket stadium in India has introduced zero trash policy for its spectators during IPL.
Credits to symbiosis school of sports science for this wonderful information.
For example, In 2021 the olympics held in Tokyo reduces carbon footprints with several initiatives have been put into place. These include a carbon balance programme, use of electric vehicles and recycled materials. As a result, Tokyo Olympics was carbon neutral.
During the classroom interrogations on the topic titled Earth Day, I learnt that experts predict that by 2050, 1.2 billion people could have been forced out of their homes because of climate change, so that prediction has made me to be enlighten about the forth coming adverse issues, hence giving me to promote conservation of the evnironment.
Firstly, what is Earth Day? Well “Earth Day” is a worldwide event that occurs yearly on April 22. It talks about the environmental diversity of the Earth and highlights ways of protecting our planet from climate change.
Aside from that, some of the skills I picked up include problem solving. I now have the ability to back up my points with the knowledge I have picked up from our former lessons and be able to resolve issues. I also now can speak more comfortably about Earth Day, climate change, and basically, everything on climate, I can now actively participate in climate debates. As for keywords, I believe the main keywords would be the words: “Climate”, “Carbon”, “Fossil Fuels”, “The Ozone Layer” and “Global Warming” I say so because each of these words depicts their own part of our climate, as they depict the effects, the causes, the affected, and the general name given to all of these things.
I joined a discussion in the earth day tobic I replied to warmhearted eel from Jabalia Prep Girls B School | Palestine and said 👍. They made me think differently because People throw waste into the sea, and this is wrong behavior; Because they pollute the environment, and when the sea and rivers are polluted, there will be many negative effects of this pollution. In my country, children love swimming in the sea. Because most families cannot provide money for their children to swim in a clean pool of water, so when parents find that the sea is polluted, they will not let their children swim in it, and thus we have deprived children of their right to play and swim, so in exchange for throwing our waste into the sea, there are children who will infect them. Diseases and poisoning from this polluted sea
In my opinion , we should get involved in these topic , we all know how to recycle , we all know how to reduce de carbon dioxide footprint, we just need to get started with all the things we know about climate change. Also , our government should introduce more strict laws to reduce climate change , as well as our selfs, we should start get more conscious about these global problem. At these point, it almost impossible to stop global warming , but , little by little , if we start getting more conscious, we will reach the goals about global warming in the world .
Although my class did not touch on this topic, I always find that our school does small steps to make an environmental change for the better. We host annual competitions and the highest amount of children in each class that walked, cycled or scooted to school will win a prize. Additionally, for the younger years, adults encourage children to finish all that is on their plate to then be rewarded with a clean plate sticker. Even though there are rewards for doing these good deeds, I believe that we do not need rewards to keep us motivated. Every small step we do to help our planet, helps us for the better. The trees are our lungs. There is one planet, one chance, one future.
I have learned some key and main words that are the most important for discussing climate laws, including the amount of carbon caused by the use of energy, such as food or electricity, etc. This works to heat the planet and greatly changes the climate.
I think the government should make people pick up litter, grow more food in the country to stop food miles and don't waste food.
amazing i got 8 not to brag heheheheh
We had a discussion about the basis of the need of conservation and it importance in our world today. Conservation on land and in the water, is essential for limiting carbon emissions.Forests and wetlands act as shield against extreme weather and so on. So when we conserve we are also saving and creating a barrier against negative climate change. In our geography class we were told to promote afforestation because it reduces the concentration of the atmospheric greenhouse gases that lead to global warming. As we know plants absorb carbondioxide to make food so the more plants planted the more carbon is reduced especially during the day hours.🌳
Well it is important that everyone knows that our planet Earth is changing because of Climate and Global Warming, That is why we must fix our planet Earth before it's too late. The what we call Climate Change is one of the biggest problem we have right now. It is affecting our world so bad that Rising Temperature can occur in our country.
Like what we are facing right now. Our Temperature can go up to 52 degrees celsius and this is not normal anymore it can cause heat stroke that is imminent during continued exposure to high temperatures as well as exhausting activities.
Anyone of us can help to fix our planet Earth. We can start by doing the 3Rs or the (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), We can also help by Educating everyone about what problem we are facing right now. Let us teach everyone that we must take care of our planet Earth so that we can live in a Healthy and Clean Environment.
In my country, I believe that the purpose of laws was to reduce people's personal carbon footprints. Yes, I believe that more emphasis should be placed on old laws regarding climate change and that people should frequently recycle things that are safe, reuse if reusable, and repair if repairable. I believe that if people did this more frequently among other things, almost everyone's personal carbon footprint would be reduced.
My point of view is that governments cannot continue to preserve the environment, and they are not responsible for preserving the environment in a timely manner. Man, by his nature, cannot always repeat the routine to no avail, because he will get bored and think of a way to escape from these responsibilities. Why doesn't everyone start with himself? Everyone has their own limits? Why don't we preserve it, it is your land, cleanliness on you, and a bright nature that belongs to you. Try, my dear, to keep yourself as a good example to maintain a comfortable and bright life. The environment is your environment, and whoever lives on it is you, keep it
Interesting perspective and it is true that, as the saying goes, charity begins at home: people should deal with the needs of people close to them before they think about helping others. However, don't you think the government needs to step in as society as a whole clearly doesn't have the same values as you?
I think that a good new climate law would be only being able to go on an aeroplane 15 times in your lifetime because if we only went on an aeroplane 15 times or less in our lifetime it would have a huge impact on our climate but either way we should all try our best to care for our planet as much as we can.Also I have now developed the skill knowledge as I used to not know much about earth day but know I have a good understanding of what earth day is.
My point of view: that the state should educate the people, students: schools / youth: universities / the elderly: festivals / hanging signs in the roads and streets stipulating preserving the climate, if people do not adhere to it, then a penalty must be imposed so that people can learn from each other, and this forces them to Climate preservation
Which law and penalty do you think should be in place?
Every living thing has the right to live, to live a free and clean life, because humans, animals, plants are living beings in them. That's why we need to protect nature, our environment and the world by thinking about the new creatures of the future.
Earth day should be beautiful and exciting for everyone. Because this is the day we celebrate the beauty and cleanliness in our world, so let's leave our environment clean and free, let's not cut flowers (grass, etc.), let's not harm any living thing so that they can beautify our world.
i had a classroom discussion but it was so boring but i think that climate change isn't that important because its jobs or animals even though animals help the environment jobs are better even though you can change jobs but all we need is money
You make a really good point about people needing jobs to provide for their families, and sometimes climate laws could disrupt this. What sort of jobs do you think might be affected by this?
On an individual level, it's pointless.
If all members of the public join in, it's still pointless.
Only thing that matters is cutting emissions from
industry. It's safe to assume that it's somewhere
around 80% of all emissions are from
manufacturing and power industries.
Hi alert_poem, can we not do something to encourage industry to be more environmentally friendly?
In my classroom, we did the Festival lesson about Earth Day. We decided that the purpose of laws was to limit some actions, but we also discussed how some laws shouldn't be so strict. I was surprised by some of the lifestyle choices with the biggest carbon footprint. I was surprised by how eating a cheeseburger twice a month for a year had a smaller impact than non-recyclable toilet paper.
For new climate change laws would be that people recycle their trash. I know not everyone has the time to take their recyclable items to their local recycle center so maybe a service could come around and get recycled items so this law can be enforced without trouble. Though this law is small or won't work in every country, it could really make an impact and help change citizens awareness about climate change helping people to join the cause.
We need to stop talking about helping the environment and actually help because everyone talks about the environment and does nothing
Stop driving; bike, walk, transit instead
Buy only what you require to live
Avoid using A/C, heater, as much as possible.
Eat simply (sure go vegan for hardcore mode)
Strike up conversations about how ppl can return to a simple pace of life
I think that you'll find many ways to reduce your
energy/resource use if you go through life just
asking questions.
"how much energy/resources do I use for this
activity or this product?" "Do I need to use this
much? How could | use less? or how could I get
around this issue"
The discussion that I did with my class was extremely interesting, and shocking too. I never knew that in a certain number of years, about 1.2 BILLION people worldwide could be homeless, and that parts of the world could become uninhabitable. This has made me think more about climate change and how urgent it is to address the fact that if we don’t take action we may not have any world left to live in. I think that the government should put more money into turning climate change around, and that they should promote renewable energy such as solar and wind power, maybe by reducing the cost of solar panels, and giving bonuses to people who use clean energy sources.
I decided that the purpose of laws are to keep us in check and to make sure everything stays in place also Laws protect our general safety, and ensure our rights as citizens against abuses by other people, by organization, and by the government itself. we have laws to help provide for our general safety. And yes I was surprised about the lifestyle choices with the biggest carbon footprint because we use about 60% of this electricity generation was from fossil fuels, also 10,632 kilowatt- hours (kWh) of electricity each year. lastly 13% of their household expenditures are used in transportation. My suggestion for the new climate law is reduced risk to human health and welfare that results from lower emissions of greenhouse gases and less global warming and climate change. some skills that i learned or developed are certain laws are made so that way we can help the earth and sometimes those laws aren't met or people go around it making it harder for the earth. I'm feel very confident about using facts and examples because that supports more of our findings and make us more valid in our suggestions and actions. Some keywords are Carbon dioxide, greenhouse gases, emissions, weather vs climate, and global warming vs climate change.
This is a very great privilege for me because I have not actually come across this topic in my classroom discussions and I would like to share my view and opinion on some of the things I learnt from the topic. I have concluded and decided that the purpose of law is to impose discipline on the people in order to help reduce climate change and also ensuring that everybody is following a specific set of rules as a country instead of allowing different lifestyle choices that may not be easily enforced or made to be followed by individuals in the society.
here are some ways by which we can reduce the effect of climate change in the country:
1. Reducing the waste we produce day by day
2. Considering our travels with cars. We could walk, use bikes, consult the use of public transport and for those who can afford the electric vehicle they should make use of it.
3. Try eating more of vegetables and fish meat instead of animal products.
4. We have to save energy at our homes.
In this discussion, I would not really call it a skill but I have learnt to be obedient to the laws and rules the authority will or have imposed to reduce climate change having the knowledge that it has many disadvantages that I have also learnt in the discussion
I feel a little confident about using facts and examples to support my arguments about climate laws. I think that keywords such as economy and pollution are most important for discussing climate laws. This is because some climate laws could drastically affect the economy and money distribution. Most climate laws also affect the pollution, mainly in positive ways.
A good discussion we had in class was whether or not too many laws or too little laws, and whether forcing people to change their ways was a good idea.
It's an excellent opportunity to teach youngsters the value of environmental preservation and conservation. According to my experience, including interactive exercises like group discussions and recycling projects helps increase students' interest in the class. A wonderful method to motivate people to take action and be conscious of their impact on the environment is to provide them examples of simple changes they can make in their everyday life to minimize their carbon footprint. Overall, I heartily endorse incorporating Earth Day lessons into any classroom setting because they not only assist the environment but also aid in fostering in kids a sense of responsibility for protecting our planet.
Okay, so you've probably heard the phrase "carbon footprint" used before, but what does it actually mean? In other words, your carbon footprint is a calculation of the amount of greenhouse gas emissions (mainly carbon dioxide) that result from your daily actions. Driving a car, utilizing power in your home, and consuming food that has traveled great distances all fall under this category. Your environmental impact and role in climate change increase with increasing carbon footprint. However, there are several easy things you can do to lessen your carbon footprint, so don't worry! A few simple methods to make a large difference include driving less, adopting energy-efficient appliances and lightbulbs, and consuming locally produced food.
In fact this Topical Talk competition in general is a very good chance for me to improve my skills in English. And I think that talking about climate laws as a scientific vital topic full of facts and important information made me more confident of myself.
I am 13 years old. After watching this video, i think I'll become a scientist and try to fix this problem to the best of my ability. i suggest that everybody around my age does their best to help: instead of taking a plastic OR paper straw, drink out of the cup like a normal person
I would like to share that earth is 4.543 billion years old and it came across many incidence and impacts. But now we the human creating many troubles to earth in many ways such as polluting land, air and even water. Destroying forests and many natural resources but still earth carrying us and supports our life . As we the humans have to make the pollution less which will reduce climatic changes. Using resources only when we have the purpose. Instead of using electricity produced from nuclear and fossils fuel we can use the electricity produced from sunlight , wind and water which emits carbon 20 times less than those resources. Planting more trees and using plastic which can be recyclable woild be a great option to reduce carbon from my opinion. You can ask me for information. Thank you
Work for a better earth and a better tomorrow.” “Happy Earth Day, everyone. Focus on planting more trees and preventing pollution from making these plants greener and happier.” “Wishing you a refreshing and beautiful earth day.
The objective of laws is to keep us conscious of our activities and to keep society in order. They protect our safety and keep our civilization from spiraling out of control.
Furthermore, the lifestyle choices with the highest carbon footprint shocked me. In general, I was shocked by how even the tiniest actions in our daily lives create a carbon imprint. A good suggestion for a climate law would be for more places to have laws regarding littering. Because we are not the only creatures on Earth, this helps to guarantee the safety of other animals.
Do you think if more people were aware of the impacts they were having they would change their actions?
It would be more important than awareness if the individual cared about the problem. Posts on social media, public discussions, and other components can provide a person with some awareness of the actions. However, individuals are more inclined to adjust their behavior if the circumstance evokes emotion or care from them. For example, it is the short-term problem that motivates individuals to take action to solve it because it is a current bother for them. However, if it is a long-term issue that does not affect them immediately, such as climate change, they are likely unconcerned. Climate change's consequences are also physically far from many people's homes. Their homes might be located in areas that are exceedingly remote from wildfires or severe storms. Many people who are willing to make a change usually display fear or worry about what negative effects climate change has on their future and environment.
Today, I attended the weekly topical talk club at my school an we discussed about if climate change should be the first priority we need to deal with. It proved to be an intresting topic with very varied opinions and by the end of the lesson, I think I changed my mind based on what should be the first priority for the world. I personally believe now that I have absorbed other people's opinions as well that the war between Russia and Ukraine should stop. Missiles are being thrown, lands are being destroyed, and people need to flee from a land of rubble and death. This is not okay. Pollution is drastically increasing because of this and more and more people are developing the mentality that power is the only way to win. If people have this greedy mindset and do not wish for peace, our world will be destroyed. We mut act : and now.
I say that the government should teach or alert people especially those in rural areas how they should take care of the environment in order to receive good climate conditions rather than punishing them
Although we didn't have a classroom discussion about earth day its become a daily routine for our teachers to encourage us to care for the environment we live in considering the high rate of natural disasters that have been occurring ,they help us notice that the little things we do can alter a lot of things happening in the environment.Just throwing may be an empty bottle into a drainage system could cause blockage so when it rainsthe excess water wont be able to drain properly and this could lead to flooding
Today we went back to school after a two week holiday. We celebeated the Earth day and some students presented a broadcast about Earth day. They talked about how we can protect the environment and launched two competitions, one for the greenest class window at school and another one for every class to plant a tree in the school garden. I have heard a very beautiful song about Earth day and I still remember some words from it..
"Let's make it Earth day, today
Let's make it Earth day , everyday
This is our only home
There is no planet B "
I liked it very much ..
The increasing frequency of extreme weather events, droughts and floods is in line with what climate scientists have predicted for decades – and evidence is mounting that what is happening is far more serious than expected, and will only get worse if we fail to act.
Some scientists believe that climate change is causing the unprecedented melting of the Arctic and this is affecting uncertain weather patterns. I think we should listen to these scientists and experts............👍
We discussed climate change in class, and it made me rethink spirited gazelle's comment about tougher climate laws. Spirited Gazelle talked about the laws not being strict so that they can ensure the happiness of everyone in the country. When we were discussing in class, we talked about if there should be tougher climate laws, and my teacher made me think of this topic in a whole different way.
I truly and deeply agree that there should be tougher climate laws, this is because if a factory releases an enormous amount of smoke each day, it might not affect the owner of the factory because he or she might be using expensive cars to drive around the country with purified air in it, however, a farmer's son who walks from school to home every day might inhale the toxic air in the atmosphere if the factory is close with the routes he passes every day to school and back. By inhaling this toxic air, the child's health might be negatively affected and the owner of the factory will not know how it feels since he or she will be enjoying in the comfort of his or her car.
If a person owns an organization and has linked the pipes where all the wasteful water flows into a river where a lot of people from nearby villages fetch their water, the people might be harmed negatively and have serious health issues, whiles the owner of the organization is sitting at home or office relaxing whiles drinking purified water.
Therefore I am trying to say that a lot of people's actions in a country affect the earth which affects other people, so if there are not strict climate laws the earth a lot of people might suffer and can even die.
I really like the examples you have used to make your point here. Well done!
You would say printing of books would be reduced and reading culture would die drastically because of the laws that bind cutting down of trees but, that is why the ebooks are available. It’s portable in the smart phones and does not have great effect on climate change.
