by Matic Bobek

The climate crisis has become a serious problem to humankind. We have been ignoring this problem for years and now we are at the possible extinction of every animal species on this planet and the possible extinction of humankind. We are burning to much fossil fuels there are people, children giving up their education to protest against Global warming. The ice in Antarctica is melting, 200 hundred species are going extinct every single day, but there is still hope. A simple thing can save the planet, and it is a tree. A tree can build itself, it sucks carbon out of the air and locks it away and in return it gives us oxygenthat is vital for every living organism on this planet.
