WHAT I AM ABOUT TO "SAY" IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!! Okay, now that I've gotten your attention I would like to say that we are in a severe climate crisis right now and if you haven't heard yet, there are severe droughts all over the world. Not only is it affecting us, but it is also affecting the plants and animals. And that is only one problem we have, there are so many more, like deforesting, pollution, and we NEED to take action. I'm not writing this to get a bunch of likes, no I am serious. Once you read this tell the people around you to take action! Little things can make a BIG difference!

Great post! Loving this post, and also, yeah, I agree, could it be an climate change?????????

I'm gonna be honest..I'm afraid of everything and climate change is one of my fears. I'm scared of anything that can possibly make something bad happen. also its like we have a whose bunch of activists on Dojo lol.

Oh, wow! @dream_beyond turn climate activist! I'm just teasing, I agree. Most of you know where I live, but if you are new to the club, I live in New York. Here we are experiencing drought and it is really hurting plants and grass. Great post! 😃

yesss thats what im talkin about!!!!!!!!! this is acttualy serious guys

I agree. We really need to start doing things 🌱🌱🌳🌎🏞❤🌎

I totally agree! We humans have dug ourselves into the hole of climate change by burning coal, cutting down trees, etc. We need to get OUT of this hole. But right now, there aren't that many realistic and affordable solutions. Most people can't afford electric cars and solar panels. Still, we need to do things like planting more trees in places where they'll survive, stop killing animals and eating so much meat, and making solar/wind/hydro power more affordable. Save the earth!

I totally agree. Solar panels and electric cars are expensive but honestly it i'll be a huge money saver in the long run.

i agree, This world isn't going to get better if we don't do any action now. unfortunately there's not much I can do because my parents won't let me donate to anything! But whoever can donate, please do!

I know!! I have been saying that on so many articles, but it usually always ends up on the second page of comments where no one can see!! I agree with you, we, as a species, need to help slow down the climate crisis! We are definitley changing climates right now, but how humans go about their everyday lives are just speeding it up! Way to fast to be natural! If this keeps going at the scary rate it's going in, we'll lose so many plants & animals!Things you can do right now is: Close doors immediately so heat does not escape. Take short showers. Walk or bike if you can (instead of having your parents drive you). Turn off your computer when not in use. Run the dishwasher and other appliances on energy saver mode. Keep the house at 68°F or less. And make sure the heat goes off at night and when everyone is away. Replace incandescent with fluorescent lights. (This saves a lot of money!) Convince others around you to do the same! We together can make a big difference before it's too late!

G'day readers! Almost done with my first week of school! Sports are already starting to pop up! I just made the cross country team and I'm trying out for volleyball! Wish me luck!
