This week we have been doing an online webinar called Climate Week. It was from Keep Scotland Beautiful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Monday<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Monday was all about Greenhouse gasses. Greenhouse gasses are gasses that warm up our environment. They are sometimes natural, but we make it worse\u00a0 by using diesel, lighting fires and wasting water and electricity. The two greenhouse gasses are methane and carbon dioxide. They are called greenhouse gasses because the hot air is getting trapped in the atmosphere like a greenhouse. Also we learned about carbon footprints. Carbon footprints are the amount of carbon you use over the course of the thing. Everything has a carbon footprint.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tuesday\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tuesday was all about how climate change can affect\u00a0 wildlife. Climate change can\u00a0 affect wildlife because ice caps are melting. Polar bears can survive on land in summers in the arctic but, due to climate change, there are longer summers which are harder for polar bears because they don\u2019t get as much prey.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wednesday<\/span><\/p>\n

Wednesday was about food. We learned about how a change in food, like meat to veggies can help our climate. What also could help with climate change is to stop wasting food. Two of the top tips about food is to use fresh <\/span>Ingredients, and use low carbon foods.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thursday<\/span><\/p>\n

Thursday was about water. Water is like a superhero in that it emits oxygen. Did you know that climate change is causing acidification in our oceans? There are also billions of pieces of micro plastics in our oceans. To help stop climate change in our water, we can recycle what we can, use reusable plastics, and upcycle what we don\u2019t want.<\/span><\/p>\n

Friday\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Friday is all about people helping to stop climate change. All over the world people are helping to stop climate change. You can help by upcycling cans. to turn them into pen pots. You could even campaign for climate change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Altogether, this was a great week. We learned so much, enjoyed the experiments, and overall, had a great time. This week was amazing.<\/span><\/p>\n
