12. Example How can we stop climate change?
Climate change is such a big issues that it affects all humans today. In fact, the best way to solve climate change is for all individuals to take action within their own lives. For example, people who drive to work can commute with friends to save fuel. Additionally, we can try to reduce the amount of plastic that we use. The plastic that we waste takes a long time to break down and, therefore, can be really damaging to our environment. Finally, we can petition our government to take more action in regard to companies. Individuals may not have the power to change companies, but people can persuade the government to. In these ways, it is possible for people to come together and change the world. Climate change can be reduced if we all work together in our everyday lives.
