burning gasoline and diesel fuel creates harmful byproducts like nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, benzene, and formaldehyde and so that's why electric cars are better than gas cars.

The oldest piece of clothing in my closet is hypothetically the ‘newest’ one with tags. This shirt has an emotional connection with me as this is the shirt my oldest brother bought me about 4-5years from his first paycheck. However, this piece of clothing is not something I would wear, but I would never give this away too. Thus, this shirt remains in my closet and owns a special place in my heart.

Carbon dioxide fills the air,
it's time that we all start to care.
Instead of trading grasslands for cities of cement,
lets ensure our actions prevent,
the rising climate from leaving a dent.
We must understand our Earth is fragile,
so we can truly fight this climate change battle.
Step by step we will set a good example,
so the next generation can stay not scramble.
Let's remember to recycle,
as humans are Earth's only rival.
Change for the better begins now,
actions not ashes is our vow.

Dear Earth,

Wile all the people stay at home you are recovering all the damage we done.I’m sure that all  the people will learn these process that we are living. In the past I’m not here but now I’m trying to help you. Humanity is moving slowly and we have to try to recycle more to help you in this long process. In the earth there are much persons that understand these process but others don’t and all the people have to try that they understand the problem you're going through.

I think reusable bags represent climate change. People always used to use plastic bags which are often end up in our landfills or in our oceans causing an ecosystem disruption. The bags were harmful to wildlife  and the oils used to make the bags leads to carbon dioxide build up in the atmosphere. Now people are using reusable bags which are much better for the environment.

Plastic straws are very common objects. They are objects that are very common to find on the beaches and that take a long time to disintegrate. There is an alternative that are the stainless steel straws. You can always use these straws and, over time, they are cheaper, because you only need one for life.

My car represents climate change to me because the burning of the gasoline when I drive emits harmful toxins in the air which over time will deplete the ozone layer protecting us from the sun.

I got this shirt passed on to me by my older sister, and immediately knew it would be the thing I wear almost daily the next few weeks. Little did I know the story behind it! When I walked past my mom wearing it one day, her eyes lit up. She interrogated me as to where I had found it, and how long I had it for. It was apparently her old work shirt! My mom used to work for the Sabres as an usher in the arena, and loved to wear this comfy crew neck during her shifts near the ice. Knowing my mom babied this shirt for years to have it still be in such good shape, let’s me know it is something vitally important to her, so I’ll continue to care for it like she did.

The oldest piece of clothing i have in my closet is my brother’s modified soccer hoodie that he got in 7th grade (he is now a junior in college). I keep it because it was back when the design for the hoodies was really cool and I guess when my brother graduated he passed it onto me. His first year of college was my first year on varsity and I thought wearing it would give me good luck. And yes I still wear it today and I will probably keep wearing it.
