The Wider World

The Environment and What YOU can do to Help!

For years and years now we have ruined our world. We have thrown rubbish into our oceans, icecaps are melting because of us, people are chopping down trees, the list could go on for days and days. It use to just be global warming but it’s now global climate change. We have done so much bad to our beautiful world that we now can’t make our world back to the state it was thousands of years ago we have done too much damage.

Our Earth is  incredible there is no other place like it. If we ruin our world we won’t have a planet B to run to- there is only one earth! Lives are being lost because of climate change, over 250000 people a year have died because of this.

There are some amazing people in the world who dedicate their lives to stop climate change such as Greta Thunberg every day after school she would sit outside for hours with a home made sign about climate change, she even became vegan just to help the planet. There are little things that you can do to help you don’t have to turn vegan or sit outside for hours but there are other options. You can reduce the amount of meat you are eating or become vegetarian. I’m vegetarian and I have been for over a  year now and at first it was a bit challenging; I’m used to it now. No one made me,  it was my own decision.

Another thing you can do to help is, if you see rubbish on the floor, pick it up. Try to reduce the amount of paper your using, and most importantly help the environment!
