What can kids do to prevent global warming?

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Don%26#039;t pressure your folks to buy you every new thing that comes along.

Walk instead of getting a ride from your parents, or start a carpool. Or ride your bike.

Go above and beyond in trying to learn more about global climate change. Share what you learn. Pick a career where you get to become part of the solution.

See what your school or school district can do, and help to organize events that raise awareness. Find out who your local elected officials are, and write them to let them know how you feel.

• Listen. If you turn off the tv and get lots of others to, then you are depriving youself of enjoyment and conection with whats going on. Not to say it won%26#039;t save power. But unless the whole world stops watching tv for months and months it won%26#039;t help. If you want to help, really, you need to become researched and well learned in this area. You need to help convince people to help the actual environment, because even if they don%26#039;t believe in global warming they will still be helping the environment, which if you think about it is the actual point andt he mutual goal. 11% 1 Vote
• Pay attention in school,
  because this generation of kids are the group
  that will make or break the whole global warming
  situation! And you learn a lot of valuable concepts
  in school and causes of global warming!
  
  Otherwise, kids can take walk/bike to school
  instead of driving. They can recycle too! And
  buy green items! 0% 0 Votes
• these steps should be taken to fight global warming:
  *Look for energy qualified products
  *Heating cooling conditioners should be tuned well once a year.
  *Seal n insulate ur home.
  *Reduce n reuse n recycle every thing u use.
  *Grow more plants.
  *Use water efficiently.
  *Use ur personal vehicle as less as possible n when u cant walk, train or buss can be best options as u can imagine- 50 persons driving their personal cars would emit more polluting gases n waste more fuel than a single bus carrying them.
  *Maintain ur vehicles well so that they stay fuel efficient.
  
  All u need to do is to spread this message to everyone u possibly can.
  U can arrange a seminar or let ur frnds help u in painting posters n sticking them in ur college ,or u can get prints n distribute them, u can tell ur college authority or churh authority to spread the awareness they;ll surely help u. Keep teaching the area kids or relatives- A child is man%26#039;s father :-).
  U can even go to festival gatherings or concerts n talk to the event managers n steal 10 mins of the show for this important cause, or the morning assembly or prom or ur bday or any important day of ur life or ur college life can be used constructively. 11% 1 Vote
• Go green. It can only help the situation.
  However, global warming is a natural phenomenon. It is going to happen no matter what. The question is are we going to help move it along faster and be more destructive?
  
  And whatever you do, don%26#039;t watch the movie by Al Gore. It%26#039;s just like Michael Moore films... please. He gives data relating to the past 100 or so years. The Earth has existed for millions. The facts are irrelevant. The Earth always goes through hot and cold phases. 0% 0 Votes
• Gore%26#039;s book comes in a kid%26#039;s version called An Inconvenient Truth for a New Generation. Lots of pictures and it%26#039;s worded better for a younger audience. For example, instead of saying polar bears are dying, it says there are a lot less polar bears than there used to be. It is also quite inspirational for the %26#039;new generation%26#039; and empowers them to make better choices. - Highly recommended 0% 0 Votes
• well they can%26#039;t really prevent golbal warming because it%26#039;s already happening.
  
  but there are a bunch of things they can do to slow it down.
  for example, ride a bicycle instead of haivng their parents drive them to their friends house.
  turn off electronics when they aren%26#039;t in use to save energy.
  not litter
