READ

Climate change is one of the most worrying things for our planet.
Many politicians and scientists say it is the biggest danger we
face. I read almost every day that climate change is changing the
Earth forever. Many species of animal, fish, insect, frog, etc. are
dying. The ice caps in the Arctic and Antarctica are melting. Our
weather is changing so places are getting warmer, or colder, or
are having more and stronger hurricanes. We all need to do our
bit so that climate change does not destroy us. It’s important to
cut down on things that produce greenhouse gasses. These warm
the planet and change the climate. Doing simple things like
turning off lights and recycling paper all help.
