  1. I think important project for me is “Climate change”. I choose this project, because this is completely related to modern problems. We can correct with production with lower emissions, use electric transport.

  2. Unprecedented sea-level rise and dangerously warming waters caused by climate change are among a list of grim impacts predicted by a recent United Nations report. By the end of the century, more of the world’s seas could be hot, acidic and lifeless — with catastrophic implications for marine life, Earth’s climate and the food security of billions of people.
    I would like to join a project called Doubling Ocean Protection because people highly depend on sea products and fish as in some areas it’s the main source of food for people and saving marine life is one of our main goals.

  3. In my opinion all projects are important and relevant, but I would like to join the project "Stabilizing our climate by protecting the restoring nature". Тhis project describes the problem of pollution of life support systems with greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, which cause global warming. According to the project even if the word stops using fossil fuels altogether we will not be able to achieve good results if we don’t stop the destruction of ecosystems such as forests which absorb and store carbon. In other words, if we don’t protect nature, we will not be able to prevent climate change. The scientific community says that we have 10 years to cut greenhouse gas emissions, otherwise the consequences will be catastrophic. Another reason why I would like to join this project is that the solution of environmental problems is based on natural and climatic methods aimed at preserving, restoring and improving the use of ecosystems. They prevent huge carbon dioxide emissions by conserving peat, mangroves, old growth forests. Conservation International is working to protect 120 million hectares of ecosystems containing large amounts of irreplaceable carbon emissions by 2025.

  4. in my opinion all projects are important, but I want to join the project " doubling ocean protection", because this project applies the necessary immediate measures to prevent unprecedented sea level rise and dangerous water warming. this is a very important project, because three out of every seven people in the world depend on seafood as the main source of protein, 10 times more carbon is accumulated in coastal habitats than in tropical forests per unit area, the ocean is the main source of water resources. I would also like to at least somehow influence the protection of the ocean and help this project develop further

    1. I completely agree with your opinion, because water is one of the main sources on our planet which unfortunately gets polluted. So we need to reduce carbon emissions in it, especially emissions from factories.

    2. I absolutely agree with your opinion. The ocean is the place where life on Earth originated. Therefore, its preservation and protection are directly related to the survival of all mankind. The ocean will empty, and people will disappear. After all, 80% of oxygen is produced by ocean algae. The ocean absorbs carbon dioxide, which fills the atmosphere due to harmful industrial emissions.

  5. In my opinion, all projects are serious, but I would like to join the project "Stabilizing our climate by protecting the recovering nature". In recent years, the topic of nature conservation has become very relevant and discussed. To preserve nature, each of us is obliged to make every effort. We should appreciate what nature has given us.
    Modern person has a poor understanding of what nature is, because he builds factories that negatively affect the balance of nature. Rivers become dirty, clean air becomes less. Trees do not have time to clean it up, as they are cut down by a person for the construction of new cities.
    There may be a feeling that nature comes to life when natural disasters happen. Floods and tsunamis have become more frequent recently. Many people are dying. Nature restores the balance between people and nature. A person's life directly depends on the state of the surrounding nature. Therefore, everyone should remember that by protecting nature, we protect ourselves!

    1. I agree with your opinion. The goal of this project is to reduce our carbon footprint, and how exactly can you help this goal? I think that everyone should participate in this, but not all people know what to do

    2. I agree with this statement, because I think this project is also quite important. the problems solved by this project are very global, as we can only prevent these problems by joint efforts. people really don't appreciate nature, there are factories, they pollute rivers with waste, they drive cars excessively.

    3. I support your opinion that people now do not think about nature and that they are part of this nature. I liked your thoughts about the fact that you are hinting that people are parasites of our nature and the planet. Unfortunately, everything should be in moderation and this also applies to people. We are dying because we are a disease of our planet, and all stizmtsnye disasters are antibodies that help our planet cope with this "disease". Deforestation, pollution of various kinds - this is due to our selfishness, but in the age of technology it becomes even more difficult to stop the killing of the Earth.

  6. I'd like to join the project "Stabilizing our climate by protecting and restoring nature". Problem of pollution with carbon dioxide is the main problem in the world. The goals of this project are protect 13% of the ecosystems, increase mangrove forests worldwide by 20%, develop project to capture 200 megatons of carbon dioxide, increase available financing for natural climate solutios by $10 billion. The project strategy focuses on ensuring that will be Earth's natural "carbon sinks". I think this project can help us to protect our planet from destruction.

  9. I have been reading all this projects and in my opinion they are all very important. This issues are different but if we will not solve them Earth would in very bad condition. If I need choouse only one project probably I will choose the first one. Lately I've seen these problems in my life. I meen last summer was very hot, winter 2019 was warm. After reading I probably start to reduce my carbon dioxide footprint

  10. "Stabilizing our climate by protecting the restoring nature". This project, which worries me the most, is due to the pollution of our land with various wastes.

    Forests are second only to the world ocean. They contain more carbon than is currently contained in the atmosphere. Carbon moves into and through forest ecosystems, playing an important role in ecological processes and the management of carbon emissions and removal.

    Forests are an important part of the carbon cycle, preserving and releasing this important element in the process of life. Globally, forests help maintain the Earth's carbon balance and thus reduce the impact of climate change. It is forests that help us reduce the amount of carbon due to our personal carbon footprint.

    Forests have recently mitigated climate change by absorbing about a quarter of the carbon emitted from human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, resulting in forests being used for other land uses. Carbon uptake by forests reduces the rate of its accumulation in the atmosphere and thus reduces the rate of climate change.

    1. I completely agree with your opinion. This comment accurately describes the importance of forests, and the problem of deforestation. Of course, forests and plants in general prevent air pollution with carbon dioxide to a greater extent. But not only forests have to cope with carbon dioxide. Humanity is somewhat cruel to forests, cutting them down due to excessive consumption. But this problem can be solved: you can plant new plants and use them less for your own purposes.

  11. After reading the information about all the projects, I realized that I would like to keep the Forest drones project. The whole point of this project is to launch unmanned aerial vehicles into the jungle, that is, drones. The reason for this was that over the past 60 years, almost half of all forests and jungles of Madagascar have been illegally cut down. These drones helped to identify more than 51 points of illegal deforestation, which helped patrol officers determine where to strengthen control. Along with the search for illegally cleared land, this program helps to track a crop yield tracking project for farmers. Thanks to the drone, people can more easily and quickly protect Madagascar's forests, which are crucial for supporting local communities and iconic wildlife such as lemurs and fossils.
