Save The Planet

We have less than two years until we won't be able to go back. We need to cut down carbon emissions and improve our solar power capabilities because if we continue to burn fossil fuels, we're going to destroy our planet. About 20% of animals will become extinct very soon and we may all die. Luckily, many scientists have been researching ways to stop this common enemy of Climate Change. These are some easy ways that you can help at home:
 * 1) Talk to your family at home about this issue. Make sure that they know what's happening and how to stop it.
 * 2) Power your home with renewable energy (Ask your parents about this because this isn't a thing that kids can do). Choose a utility company certified by Green-E because they are scientists who are working to save the planet as well.
 * 3) Try to cut down on air conditioning and heating--those really affect Climate Change. Yes, it may make it harder for you, but would you rather take your short-lived comfort for the death of the Earth?
 * 4) Reduce your water use by taking short showers and turning of the water to soap your body, quickly washing your hands, only flush the toilet every few uses (at home), turn off the water while brushing your teeth... just try to cut down on water use in general. It takes a lot of energy for water to be cleaned and get to your home.
 * 5) Eat all of the food that you buy. The more food you throw away, the more wasteful it is. Also, it takes a lot of energy to prepare food. Don't throw your food away, kids!
 * 6) Use LED light bulbs! They take much less energy than normal ones and could save your family hundreds of dollars in the long run.
 * 7) Turn off lights when you aren't using them, and don't turn on lights at all during the day! Natural light is better for your eyes and it doesn't take extra energy to use. Additionally, put your screens at the lowest brightness and low power mode at all times.
 * 8) Unplug devices when you are not using them!
 * 9) Even though these cars may be more expensive, try to convince your parents to buy hybrid or completely electric cars. These don't use gas, therefore cutting down on carbon emissions. Also, try to convince your parents to only buy a new or used car every 5-15 years. This saves a lot of personal emissions, because making cars is environmentally expensive!
 * 10) Always keep your car's tires fully pumped. This makes it so that there's less fuel needed to gain momentum.
