Monday will be Earth Day and Team Awesome was very excited to learn about and make posters with tips we can do at home to help the Earth this week. They also agreed that every day should be Earth Day and we should do what we can as often as we can. In 2018 the world's greenhouse gas emissions broke a new record. Global greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced by 7.6% each year until 2030 if we want to avoid average global temperatures increasing to more than 1.5C above pre-Industrial levels by the year 2100. There are many sites online dedicated to small things we can all do to help make a difference, including the David Suzuki Foundation. Spread the word and make sure everyone you know is doing their bit too. I know we all want our children to inherit a healthy, sustainable Earth.
