... these are the things we would like to do ...
If I were a Prime Minister...
I wouldn't spend so much water for irrigation.
Agriculture uses about 70 percent of the available freshwater on the planet.
But flood irrigation wastes tons of water and can pollute waterways with fertilizers, creating dead zones in the ocean
Some regions, such as Israel, have moved to highly efficient drip irrigation, which directs water right onto the roots of the plant. But such systems are expensive.
Lawns are on of the thirstiest water hogs in cities and towns.
Solution
For agriculture they should use water directly from the river, without been processed or purify.
Growing plants without using an excess of fertilizers, those should be organic origin instead of chemical so it can be reusable more easily.
For the systems should be used cheaper possibilities for doing them, recyclable materials.
Replacing the lawns for native ones which need less water.
IF I WERE A PRIME MINISTER...
...we would encourage people to use solar energy and reusable sources. We would put trash bins for recycling into more used places (like the train station, shopping centers, schools etc.). We would educate kids in school about the climate change and how to protect the earth. We would protect animals more so certain species wont extinct. We will put water fountains into schools, work places etc. So people can refill their reusable bottle instead of buying a new plastic water bottle every day. We will try to discover more about the ocean and the species who live in it to help them. We will open more eco-friendly shops. Every shop will have reusable bags (tote bags, paper bags etc.) instead of plastic bags. We will encourage people to plant their own trees into their garden.

Nowadays, climate change and the waste of removable sources are two of the biggest problems on Earth, so if I were the prime minister I would try to solve these problems.
HOW TO OBTAIN ENERGY FROM RENOVABLE SOURCES :
Green roofs:
Green roofs:
They are a good way to keep houses cooler in summer thanks to the water and humidity of plants.
Solar panels:
Solar panels:
It is a simple way to obtain solar energy.
Wind turbines:
Wind turbines:
Is an electrical generator that works by converting the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy through a propeller.
Dams:
Dams:
It obtains energy from water but it promotes deforestation.

IF I WERE I PRIME MINISTER...
I would use more renewable energy. It is energy that is collected from renewable resources that are naturally replenished on a human timescale. One of the types of renewable energy is the solar power. We can use it to generate electricity for our home through solar photovoltaic panels that are installed on your roof.
I would plant more trees. This can help to reduce the pollution that is located in the air like carbon dioxide. Many species of wildlife depend on trees for habitat because they provide food, protection, and homes for many birds and mammals.
I would reduce the price of the electric cars for all the population would be able to have one. As a result, the levels of pollution in the atmosphere would reduce.
I would reduce the use of plastic, because plastic production requires an enormous amount of energy and resources. This causes carbon emissions and contributes to global warming. Some tips to reduce them are :
- Use reusable bottles and cups.
- Bring your own bags for grocery shopping.
- Replace plastic Tupperware for glass or steel containers.
- Put your plastic waste in the correct recycling container.
- Avoid using cosmetics that use micro-plastics.
