TIPS TO HELP SOLVE THE PROBLEM

FOR STUDENTS:

• Make it a habit to use reusable products, and as much as possible, choose to repair over replacing items to reduce waste 

• For transportation, use public transportation or bicycles to help in reducing air pollution. Or the even better option, just walk to your destination.

• Compost food waste can help in recycling nutrients while reducing waste impact on the climate.

• Reduce your carbon footprint by switching to renewable energy sources and implementing other energy-efficient practices.

• Use your digital voice to share credible, science-based facts to help encourage others to help achieve the climate action goal.

FOR COMMUNITIES AND AS A NATION:

• Governments need to officially include climate change goals in all their national planning and laws

• Local areas must set up early alerts and have warning systems so everyone knows exactly when a disaster is coming

• Governments should invest more in clean energy sources such as wind and solar power.

• Communities may host programs that bring the people together in discussing climate resilience, hands on activities such as tree planting and clothing swaps.

• Every country should make climate change a mandatory part of the school curriculum to prepare the next generation
