      Yes! We have all the tools but we just have to put them into action. The biggest thing to change is our power source. We power our homes, school and factories by burning fossil fuels (like coal) that release carbon dioxide into our atmosphere. Carbon dioixide traps heat in our atmosphere causing climate change. Fossil fuels are also non-renewable energy sources so can’t be replaced. We need to switch to renewable energy sources like wind turbines, solar panels and wave power so they will ever run out.
      You can always make small changes to your own life too! Remember to turn off the lights and unplug devices. Why not try eating less meat or diary! Or how about walking more instead of taking the car. There’s loads of things you can do 🙂
