Reduce use of industrial factories
that put smog in the air
Make recycling more common
rather then burning trash which
puts pollution in the air
Food may be healthier and
extend our life
May put curfews on the use of
energy to stop pollution in the air

What it means to Me
Cop21 in my opinion is a great idea.

The Concept of trying to reduce global warming is not

only needed but it is also very fascinating.
I believe that this agreement is a very good choice not
only for the environment but also for our health.
Reducing global warming would also reduce pollution in
the air, which would make us as humans healthier.
