1.)  I care a lot about homeless because I live in New York City and see homeless people around me every day. I also know people personally who have been homeless during a time in their life.

I chose homelessness because it effects me in a way. Whenever I walk down the street in the city, I see at least one homeless person. I feel very bad when I see these people on the street. especially when I have nothing to give them to help. 
2). Others like myself can help by donating money, blankets, or/and  sandwiches to organizations that will give the donations to the homeless. ]]> 2021-01-11 18:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1075613159 alang77 https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1075635412 1.) Homelessness is something I see everyday especially in New York City. Every time me and my family go outside, we see at least 5 new homeless people. Me and my family feel bad for them because they might of been fired from their job and couldn't afford their rent.
2.) A way that I and other people can help in this problem is to make some food or buy some food and give to the people on the streets or you can donate some food or money to a food bank to help people not go homeless.]]> 2021-01-11 18:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1075635412 brielleh8_1_1 https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1075648854 1). I chose this issue because climate change is already a big issue and I am only 12. I am going to grow up and have a family on this planet. I want my future and my kids' future to be good, and without us having to worry about things like going to mars, or worrying about if the earth is livable anymore.

We can all stop climate change by using cars, and trucks, and gas powered engines less, as well as turning off lights when you are not using them at home. ]]> 2021-01-11 18:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1075648854 christinad106 https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1075750756 1. I like many others chose climate change because this is  happening right now and this will affect the future and if this continues then this can permanently  change the world and this is affecting the world and the land drastically even the animals are affected.

Climate change is important to me because I've watched many documentaries about it and to me it seems like an issue that needs a lot of attention or it will negatively impact every organism's life in the future.      
2.) I can help this situation by using less energy, continuing to recycle, and by using less gas powered vehicles.]]> 2021-01-11 19:15:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1075811597 anseld https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1075815586 1.) Climate change is something that I care about because it is a global threat that threatens my world.
2.) Everyone can help stop climate change by donating money to organizations that fight to lessen global greenhouse gas emissions.  People can protest to pressure the governments to make laws for a goal of net zero. Finally you can lessen your usage of greenhouse gas emissions by riding your car less, restricting your diet, fly less, and passing the message foward.]]> 2021-01-11 19:16:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1075815586 graceo31 https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1075815608 1.

Poverty is a topic I care about because I see the horrible effects of poverty on people, as well as I know some people who were close to the poverty line.
2.) People can help prevent poverty by donating to non profit organizations that help fight poverty, as well as people can donate food to soup kitchens, and you can be a sensitive person and help someone in poverty in anyway, financially, emotionally, or physically.]]> 2021-01-11 19:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1075841778 gineevrab https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1075855871 1.)

2.) I can help this situation by donating to charities, helping out at shelters or soup kitchens, and as students we can even write essays to convince the government to make more jobs for less unemployment.]]> 2021-01-11 19:24:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1075855871 sofias95 https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1075872442 1.) Climate change is important to me because it affects the world the world we live on, and it is our responsibility to take of it. We as humans have harmed it so we should put this into our own hands and fix it because it doesn't affects only us it affects generations after us, and we should make sure it is clean.

Something we can do to stop this issue is buying energy efficient lights, join programs that help the earth, stop using the car so often, and recycle.]]> 2021-01-11 19:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1075872442 christinad106 https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1075875169 1. I chose this topic because people are dying because of gun violence whether its a accident or on purpose whether it's a suicide or homicide. Many people are dying or getting injured because of this and many of these people didn't do anything wrong and they have family too and it breaks people's hearts when this happens. People are in danger and at risk because of gun violence.
2. People can learn how to use this properly and make sure you understand everything about it: how to use it, the risks of owning a gun, etc.]]> 2021-01-11 19:27:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1075875169 aydenr19 https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1076071643 1)  I care about climate change a lot because it is a very important issue in which it impacts the world we all live in. On Social Studies Soapbox project, I chose climate change and even wrote a speech about it.

We also don't have a car, and use ride sharing with Uber and Via.]]> 2021-01-11 20:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1076098887 aydenr19 https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1076102795 1) I care about mental health because this is a very important issue and it is something that a lot of people do not want and care to talk about. There is a lot of mental health issue going on right now in New York City (where I live) and since the pandemic started this issue has got worse, yet, little has been done to address it.
2) There are many things that can be done to address this issue. But first, we must understand that mental health is a REAL issue and it is nothing to be embarrassed about. It is important that people with mental health issues have the support they need  available to them. We can help by trying to help others and listening and not judging. We can also help by guiding someone to the right resources and also by donating to places that help people who are mentally sick and do not have the financial means to treat themselves.]]> 2021-01-11 20:20:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1076102795 sofias95 https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1076118468 1.) Gun violence is important to me because people loose their lives and family because of this, it is not acceptable that this happens. There are real people that have lost their loved ones because of this, and don't feel safe because of gun violence, and that should not be tolerated.
2.) A way we can stop gun violence is petition gun control laws, so guns don't get in the wrong hands of bad people. ]]> 2021-01-11 20:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1076118468 haydenf5 https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1076319164 1.) The issue of poverty is important to me because it is upsetting to see starving families. Also, people who are poor don't usually don't get out of poverty.

2.) I can volunteer my time to people who are in poverty at soup kitchens and donate supplies and money when possible. I can also support movements that would allow people living in poverty to get jobs and fair wages.

Guns are often used in suicides so some suicides could be prevented  if there were fewer guns.
  
2.) I can help this cause by talking with people about emotions and making sure they know there is help available in case they are thinking about committing suicide. In addition I can help by educating them on gun violence. Finally, I can support strict gun laws, so guns do not get in the hands of violent people.]]> 2021-01-11 21:36:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1076344785 ethanl177 https://padlet.com/mhage2/f8lx7tewlhvz48jd/wish/1076632120 1.)
