Q. "WHAT ACTION DO YOU THINK NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE?"
Climate change has been a topical issue for so many years and it is a big challenge for all. It affects everyone either directly or indirectly. The drastic changes in our climates have seen so many people dead, so many others hospitalized for diseases of different kinds caused by the environmental degradation that we are experiencing all around the world.
There are major concerns about the toxic air we breathe in daily. Air pollution, singlehandedly has caused so many people to lose their lives over the past years because it is linked with high rates of terminal diseases like cancer, asthma, heart disease and so on. When the air is polluted it can lead to sneezing, coughing, eye irritations and infection, which if it's not well taken care of on the long term will lead to more deadly problems.

The issue of air pollution can be combated by encouraging the use of renewable and reusable household products such as clothes, or fabrics bags as opposed to Nylon or plastic bags. Plastic bags or plastics causes a lot of damage to our environment when they are burned - so, it is important that we use renewable and reusable products to reduce constant burning.

It is important to focus on our forests in order to fight climate change to the fullest and the bulk of the work lies on the government. Governments of each country should make a law against cutting of trees in the forests and enforce it to the fullest. Trees in forests are known to sink carbon and all these carbons are released once the tress are cut down. On the long run, forests will cease to serve their original purpose but they would be a source of carbon to the environment.
Simply put, do not cut down trees.
