a) What has planting trees to do with climate change?

Planting trees has a lot to do in climate change due to the following

- Trees infiltrate carbondioxide gas that causes global warming, trees also influence rainfall, prevent heavy floods, soil erosion and drought but also trees provide habitat for wild animals.

b) Do you know someone who is taking action to fight climate change? What is the motivation of this person?

-Someone who is taking action to fight climate change is US because we are teaching our fellow students the topic of climate change and we are also participating in the Hot stuff chillout project with our friends in other parts of the world.
