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. 
2.) I can help the situation by making sandwiches and delivering food homeless people. Also, by remembering never to judge people that are homeless and remember that no one chooses to live a homeless life. ]]> 2021-01-11 04:42:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1072712564 mhage2 https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1072712567
1.) I care a lot about climate change because it is happening right in front of my eyes. There is so much research and data that proves climate change is drastically affecting our world. 
2.) I can help the situation by continuing to be more diligent about recycling, conserving water, saving on electricity, and educating others on ways preserve the planet, too.]]> 2021-01-11 04:42:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1072712567 mayamarcus https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075240679 I chose climate change because I feel like it maks a big impact on everyone and everything. Climate change is so important because it is killing animals and climate change. I feel like I can help by cleaning up my surroundings and try to make sure everyone in my community is safe.]]> 2021-01-11 17:34:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075240679 elenacamilleri https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075242818 1) I chose this issue because it means alot to me because of this issue a lot of animals are dying and losing their homes 2) people can help this issue by throwing out trash in a can and not on the floor. ]]> 2021-01-11 17:35:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075242818 jennao8 https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075245298 1. I choose this topic because I think that these animals are getting unfair chances at survival. We should have these animals as pets or in zoos not in a facility so we humans can use shampoo. 
2. We the people can talk stand up for what's right by talking to those who test on helpless animals. We can also rescue those that need rescuing. ]]> 2021-01-11 17:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075245298 jemmad1 https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075245571 1) I chose climate change because it is a big important thing that is affecting all of us right now. I also chose climate change because when people don't care about climate change and when people do not care the world is just getting worse and worse
2) One way I and others can fix climate change is to maybe one day to stop using so much gas, and to start recycling. These to are so important to hello climate change. ]]> 2021-01-11 17:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075245571 madelinel6140 https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075248709 I chose climate change because it's a huge issue in our modern world. The effects of climate change are animals losing their habitat, natural resources like forests and oceans are getting ruined for human use, and pollution is happening everywhere. Some things that we in the public can do to help this cause is sign petitions online, and have your family and friends sign them too, go to protests, and argue to the government about why climate change is an issue that should be fixed.]]> 2021-01-11 17:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075248709 charless164_1_1 https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075256125 1) climate change is the most important social issue because it is having the biggest effect on the world.
2) I will be more careful about unplugging appliances when I am not looking at them]]> 2021-01-11 17:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075256125 mayamarcus https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075261023 I chose this because I see homeless people everytime I leave my apartment and it makes me so sad to see people leaving on streets. I have a huge appreciation for these people because they are doing everything they can to stay alive, especially now because of Covid and because its winter. Something that I can do to help is give charity to shelters and when ever I see someone homless I can give them money, clothes and food and just doing that will make them so much more happy.]]> 2021-01-11 17:38:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075261023 elenacamilleri https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075265463 1) i picked this issue because i think it's really important that people are dying of starvation and because of things like that everyday. and it hurts me that everyday people are struggling to survive. 2) one way that we can help homeless people is to donate some money to them or maybe buy them some food and drinks. blankets pillows and maybe a small bed could help. ]]> 2021-01-11 17:38:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075265463 madelinel6140 https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075267515 I chose mental health for my second one because I think that it is a modern day issue, especially in the pandemic. Any person of any age can experience mental health issues, but not a lot of people in the public recognize that, and they usually assume just older people and teens experience it. Mental health is a common issue, and it had gotten worse among people recently. Things that we can do to help is check in on our family and friends, because you never know what someone is going through, and the simplest hello or how are you can make huge difference. Also you can speak up about this issue on social media platforms.]]> 2021-01-11 17:39:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075267515 jemmad1 https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075280053 1) I chose homelessness because I think it is really important because millions of people in the world don't have homes, and people are dying from starving themselves because they can't afford food.
2)One way that we can help with homelessness is to donate money to some people you say. Even 1 dollar makes a huge impact on their life. Another thing is that you can buy or make your own food for them. Also because of covid 19 many people lost there jobs, and homes so now even more people are homeless so making sandwiches for people makes a huge change.]]> 2021-01-11 17:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075280053 jennao8 https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075298142 1. I choose this topic because I think that people should know their impact on this planet and how bad it really is. 
2. We the people can use energy efficient products and stop burning the fossil fuels that create greenhouse gases. We can also stop wasting different things and leaving them to rot in landfills, which badly affects our atmosphere. ]]> 2021-01-11 17:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075298142 sophieo12 https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075317700 1) I chose mental health because this issue impacts people not just in NYC, but all across the globe. Mental health can have an affect on the choices people make, whether good or bad.

2) One way everyone can contribute to helping mental health issues, is by donating money to give people the healthcare and service that they need.]]> 2021-01-11 17:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075317700 miawaters4 https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075320464 1) I chose this because It is such a big problem in our country today. Especially as a student I fear gun violence everyday.
2) One way we can help is by spreading awareness and try to change the laws surrounding guns. ]]> 2021-01-11 17:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075320464 charless164_1_1 https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075326075 1) I think this is important because I see homeless people every day and It makes me feel so bad
2) I can donate to homeless shelters so they can be a nicer place to be]]> 2021-01-11 17:49:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075326075 sophieo12 https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075338871 1) I chose this topic because living in NYC, I see hundreds of people living on the streets, and it is an important matter to take action on.

2) One way everyone can contribute to this social issue is by donating food, clothes, and other things that will help keep these people safe and healthy. It is also important to remember that you shouldn't judge someone before you get to know them.]]> 2021-01-11 17:51:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075338871 miawaters4 https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075389934 1) I chose this topic because it is something that impacts so many people in the world. Many people have both diagnosed and undiagnosed mental health problems. Mental health is also something that is very easily brushed off and needs more attention brought to it.
2) One way we can help is by spreading awareness about this and taking it more seriously. Many people think of mental health as a myth and we need to change that. It is not a myth and is very very real, it affects many people and their lives. ]]> 2021-01-11 18:00:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075389934 dleannah https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075766831 1) I chose this because I have experienced a lot of racism and I want it to stop. This is an issue all over the world. People are losing friends and family because non-colored people discriminate colored people. 2) Some things that people can do it to be nice to one another and don't put each other down. Another thing is people can go to protest or rally to show there support in the BLM movement.]]> 2021-01-11 19:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075766831 dleannah https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075811489 I chose climate change because it is a very important issue in this world. Climate change can be anything from the sea levels rising to animals losing there habitat. Ocean and forests are being ruined because humans take advantage of these natural resources. Some ways to prevent this is by recycling and taking care of the earth. People can also sign petions to stop the oil driling in antartica. They can also attend protest. ]]> 2021-01-11 19:15:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075811489 anayaf15 https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1075871112 1) i chose climate change because its a really big issue and affects a lot in the world.

I believe it is not normalized enough, especially since in this day and age, there are many people struggling with mental health. Not many people know much about it, and I believe that is a problem.
2.) People can speak out more about it, make more awareness posts, and maybe educate their kids and friends]]> 2021-01-11 20:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1076044966 gianag12 https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1076096616 1.)  I chose climate change.

2: We can help people who have Mental health Issues by providing people with someone to talk too, someone to sympathies with them and someone that can help them make the right decisions. ]]> 2021-01-12 00:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1076601756 jesseb11 https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1076606091 1:  I choose Global Warming because it will destroy us humans, other animals, an the planet itself and will make lives very difficult for the next generations
2: We can help Global warming by trying to recycle plastics and stop using single use products. A lot of people say to stop using your electricity, but the better way is to counite using electricity but switch to a cleaner safer method of getting that electricity, instead of burning fossil fuels try to get elctricty provided by solar panels or wind turbine. ]]> 2021-01-12 00:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1076606091 namjaglodoid https://padlet.com/mhage2/mwmxr3s0eipmxigb/wish/1076788340 1. I chose this because Climate changes have the biggest affect on the world since it can never be stopped or started. Many people die and the planet/citys or countrys lose populations or lose many of their loved ones. Climate changes can also cause natural disasters There are different kinds of  disasters. for example tsunami which hits citys that are close to the ocean. Also earthquake, volcano explosion, hurricane, sand storm and more which leads to many deaths in many countrys.

Also they face more challenges than normal people, for example, surviving in the winter, a disease, etc.
2) We can help them by maybe giving them at least 2 dollars, it doesn't have to be 20$ or 50$. Anything will make them happy and they will be grateful.
