The view from our classroom

«The message is trying to collaborate with climate changes and its causes, which need to be stopped immediately. The way we would use to stop them could be explained to the people in order to create a conversation point all over the world. The message we would say to the people would be "We need to take responsibility for our acts and not blame other people, ACT NOW!" We think that the idea could be most easily shared by using more than one way at the same time and don’t stop no matter what. But the best way is transmitting the idea through common media (that all people can afford to join). For example, gathering up people to assemblies/speeches about the proposed theme, where everyone takes part in the activity so they feel they are doing the correct thing»

This gives the image an important contrast of what is supposed to be happy, colorful, and joyful area.We think that the images received make people feel responsible for their action, or at least we should feel responsible for what we do. We are building in places we should not, and we are attacking the environment. Kill trees, and kill yourself. Plant a tree - win a life! Do not kill for fun, live for fun.||What kind of direct problems have been mentioned? • The water is running away and the species in danger of extinction are going to extinct.• The level of the seas is increasing• The contamination of air kills 2 millions of people per year.• Diseases would increase, like malaria, cholera, hipertermia.• The worlds temperature would increase by 3 Celsius.• Droughts, high precipitations • In the south there is war for the water• Melting of ice • Deforestation of the AmazonSolutions to the problems• To plant one thousand million trees in the world• Mexico has already plant the 25% in its country.• Reduce the use of cars.• Use other materials other than wood (killing the Amazon)• Have a bath the quicker we can no to lose water. • Do not waste water • A percentage of the profits in mining should be reinvested in programs of decontamination• Give prizes to schools, public office, private companies and council.

The answers we gave

01. Interview: Our Answer: What kind of direct problems have been mentioned? • The water is running away and the species in danger of extinction are going to extinct. • The level of the seas is increasing • The contamination of air kills 2 millions of people per year. • Diseases would increase, like malaria, cholera, hipertermia. • The worlds temperature would increase by 3 Celsius. • Droughts, high precipitations • In the south there is war for the water • Melting of ice • Deforestation of the Amazon Solutions to the problems • To plant one thousand million trees in the world • Mexico has already plant the 25% in its country. • Reduce the use of cars. • Use other materials other than wood (killing the Amazon) • Have a bath the quicker we can no to lose water. • Do not waste water • A percentage of the profits in mining should be reinvested in programs of decontamination • Give prizes to schools, public office, private companies and council. The price would be an “ecoefficient prize” they see how they treat the water, save energy, recycle solid wastes.
02. Search the local newspapers of your country for articles about climate change.: Our Answer: 1).What kind of direct problems have been mentioned? 2). What solutions have been proposed? 1- Glaciers are melting 2- Temperature increasing 3-Electricity waste 1- There are no solutions 2-there are no solutions 3- Use less electricity, save it. The priority that these newspapers have been giving are about people dying of cold in Puno, but mostly, the government has been worried about the swine flu, instead of worrying about climate change and how it affects us. The headline that shocked me the most was one which said that 140 children had passed away because of the cold. This is a large amount, because that is not the way how it is supposed to happen. I would give this headline for an article about climate change: “Climate Change: The Shocking Truth”.
03. The topic of climate change arouses a number of strong emotions in people.: Our Answer: a) Write down your emotional feelings for the words “anger, responsibility, hope and indifference” in connection with the topic of climate change. Protest, manifestation. Environment has a right to be protected by people. The people that care for the environment are responsible and take actions about it. Some scientists hope that climate will be stable again. Most people are indifferent about what is going to happen to the world with climate change. This is the worst thing that can happen because people ignore that they will suffer in the future. b) Which kind of emotion do you feel most strongly in connection with the topic of climate change? (This does not have to be one of the four mentioned above). WE feel sad and melancholic about all this happening because there are a lot of new born babies that haven’t enjoyed the world, and we are destroying it, so we take their chance of living in a better way.
