We would educate all people about forest management and importance of trees and disdavantages of cutting trees. We will then tell the people trees are important because they are source of rain,source of medicines(herbs) and help to break and stop strong winds.

We will also tell people to mitigate the problems by overcoming before direct impact occurs.

The past tells us that there were more trees than now because in the past people were not cutting trees like we do, and so they were no droughts as they are happening now. In the past people were walking on foot and not using cars and so there was no production of CO2.

The kind of life we would like to lead will be a simple life like living in a hut,walking on foot and riding a bike in longer distances.

No we are not free to choose the prospect of our life because we are still students and still living with our parents.

We enjoy studying, swimming,explore about nature, and conserving the environment.

We can do the things we enjoy depending on school schedule becuase anything we plan to do has to be at right time, but in some cases we dont do these things for example when we have exams.

We cant swim, explore about nature because we are students and we have other responsibilities like preparing for our final exams.

renewable energies are the solution

The government does not support individuals to buy solar collectors, however there are government Institutions that support energy projects like supply of solar energy devices in rural areas. One of this government institution is Rural Energy Agency (REA) which is an institution within Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM), there are also non-government organizations that supply solar energy devices in the country at an affordable price this include Tanzania Solar Energy Association (TASEA).

Tanzania has no automobile/car making industry, so we don't have any project to invent cars with minimal energy output.

Dar es Salaam is facing the problem of air pollution like the other big cities in East Africa.

Exhaust fumes, loaded with carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and unburnt hydrocarbons as well as sooty particulates from diesel engines and toxic chemicals contained in the fumes are being discharged into the atmosphere in increasing quantities everyday.

Every morning, as one drives into town from the suburban areas one is confronted by a hazy or cloudy atmosphere in Ubungo, Manzese and Chang`ombe.

That's what we do: we have began drafting a Climate change magazine that will be given to students and schools participating in the project. The magazine will be in English and Swahili languages to enable every young man and woman to get a chance to read and understand about climate change. We want this magazine to be available in libraries and secondary school libraries so that people know about climate change and the project we are doing.

We will let you know our progress and we will see if you can help us in editing the English version and the printing. We have not yet decided the title of the Magazine but we would like the title to be in Swahili word that relates to climate change or environmental conservation.

NO, we have not yet experienced serious catastrophe as result of climate change although recently we have experienced problems like water shortages, power cuts, drought in some parts of the country that are linked to climate change, but this has not been directly linked to climate change. Like now the whole country is in serious power cuts problem and some government officials link this to climate change problems.

And this is what Chambi Chachage, an independent researcher, newspaper columnist and policy analyst based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania said concerning this subject:

These are the kinds of questions that make me think that perhaps there is more in the word 'power' than we use interchangeably with 'electricity'. No wonder the veteran journo, Karl Lyimo, thus rhetorically admits: 'It seems I'll never understand this even if I live to know the difference between power, energy and electricity!' Power cuts means we are a powerless people.

In my physics class I was taught that power is defined as energy over time. I was also taught that the law of conservation of energy states that you can neither create nor destroy energy. What you can only do is transform it from one form to another. And that is indeed what we have been doing since Uhuru*: transforming mechanical energy from moving water into electrical energy.

Human agency is what has done this transformation. It is this same agency that has transformed fuel energy from generators to produce electrical energy. Surely the same agency has the power to harness the heat from the sun and force from the winds and turn them into electrical energy.

With all these forms of energy in our country, how can we afford to be powerless? Why can't we have the same kind of belief that inspired Barack Obama to powerfully declare: 'We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories'? What is stopping us from being powerful enough to also conclude: 'All this we can do. All this we will do.'?

Power is about the distribution of resources. Let's redistribute our energy resources. Yes, we can.
