That goes hand in hand with spending an enormous amount of water and cuting down valuable forests. Burning down
crude oil and coal also doesn't help us. The effects are very
visible and they'll be even more if we don't do anything about it. Climate charge is a worrying effect of our recklessnes and irresposibility. It's not a small thing and I'm sure if we only wanted we can take better care of the earth. First step will be spreding the information around. Even tho it's a common problem some people aren't aware of the situation.

2. Yes, for me climate change is a big deal. Scientists urge us to change our lifestyle to save our planet. Every day I see news about some natural disease caused by global warming. Even in my hometown, I can monitor some weird changes in weather.
3. To make a change, we should start by ourselves. As an individual, you can reduce water usage, eat more vegetables and less meat, avoid plastic as much as you can. If you have sources you can start to use renewable energy for example you can put to use photovoltaics to obtain electricity.

2. Yes, of course, I'm worried about this. Climate changes are a big problem, many people seem to ignore it, but I think in the future this can affect on part of our life that we can't even imagine. The weather keeps freaking, temperatures are soaring- this isn't something casual, we should fix our behaviors (most of all we have to stop pretending like everything is okay).
3. Individuals to make a difference can use more renewable energy, segregate waste, and generally be more aware of this problem and how to deal with it.

2. The most I am worried about water scarcity. It is clear for every one, water is necessary to live and the scarcity causes to, for example, losing in agriculture. Many scientists also think the water scarcity in future will be driving people to take part in protests or fights.
3. In first step, it is important to change our bad habits, which have an impact of problems with weather. Many things are easier than every one think - use more bike than car. Then carbon dioxide will be creating in smaller amount.

2. I'm worring about the future, maybe one day we will have totally pollution air, water and soil, the temperature on the ground will be very high, ice berks will melt, many plants and animals species will become extinect. We will have big problem to live on earth. I'm afraid people will lead to it if people don't notice this problem it could end like this.
3. One person can only change very little but one persons will can be role models for others and others people maybe willing to do the same thing.
Additionally one person can change little but this is always something and that is for sure better than nothing.

[2] Climate change is very important problem, because it causes a lot of pounding, for example animals can’t adapt themselves to weather and temperature, so if temperature will raise, soon as a result we could notice their evanishing, which is important problem from the point of view of science. Also I’m worried about water shortage – now we’re informing that in Poland in over a dozen years this problem will hit society, so that’s a warning signal for us.
[3] Actually there are a lot of ways to avoid climate change progressing. First of all, if people would eat less meat then as a result we’ll limit water usage and carbon dioxide emission. Also popular way to make a difference is buying in second-hands. By doing this people could limit water usage used to produce new products (to make one t-shirt, factory uses 1750 liters of water), carbon dioxide and fumes emission. Other way is choosing bike or move around by foot to avoid exhaust fumes emittance. I served only three of ways to avoid climate change progressing, but there are a lot more.

2. I worry about climate changes because I see how many tragedies they’re causing. Also because of these changes Earth won’t be the same, safe place for future generations. I’m worried that my children won’t be happy living on this planet.
3. I think that people can use less plastic and things that can be used only once, and replace them with renewable items. Also we can go somewhere by foot or ride a bike instead of driving a car. We can also practice not wasting electricity and water.

2. I think that climate change is an important issue because it can really impact us in a negative way. I’m mostly worried about the rise of sea levels since it can contribute to the shrinking of the terrain and some parts of the land that are near bodies of water will become submerged. That means that some people will lose their homes and there will be fewer places to live in.
3. In order to make a difference individuals have to acknowledge the problem first. Because of people who do not believe in global warming we are not making any positive changes. People should start using renewable energy, reduce water usage, stop buying products that contain plastic, choose bike rides or walks over cars and public transit, and should segregate waste.

2. Prominently I'm worried about the current state of our planet. If we do not stop the activities we have done so far, we may soon lead to its destruction. We often forget that the earth is not our property. We should take care of the planet in such a way that it serves for the longest possible time for the next generations.
3. We can do a lot to change the fate of the environment. Starting with seemingly insignificant everyday activities on the reconstruction of the whole industry system ending. However, every attempt is extremely important because if we don't start changing now it may be too late.

We have made a big development since ages. In before electricity wasn’t common to people, they used horses instead of cars to travel or just walk to a destination and total world population was smaller. Nowdays on our planet lives something about 7,5 billion people, in well developed countries almost everybody have an access to electricity and there are more than 1 billion of cars most of them petrol-driven or diesel oil-driven. By writing this I wanted you to see a difference between today world and the past world. This 1 billion cars everyday produce fumes, power plants (for example in Poland but not only in it) are still using coal as main resource to produce energy and in a process of burning it produces CO2 which is one of greenhouse gases.
Of course we need to feed this huge population so humans are cutting down trees or even burning forests down to have area for farming. By doing this we lose natural filter of carbon dioxide.
So now we can see how large impact people have on climate changes and this is also proved by many scientists.
2. Climate change is really serious thing and of course we should be worried about it.
Some people say that is really good for Europe, especially this colder countries like Poland because it will be warmer and we will be able to plant exotic fruits like lemons or bananas. This is very stupid point of view, maybe those people are blind and deaf that they can’t see what is happening around the world because of climate changes: freak and extremal weather, droughts, floods etc and this is also take a place in Poland. If we won’t do something about that it gonna be only worse.
3. As individual you can segregate waste, remember about turning off electrical things when you go outside, reduce using of plastic for example by drinking tap water, you can encourage yourself into ecological actions like tidying a forest and you should think about what are you buying.
