Letter: Energy and climate change around the world

ADVERTISER DEMOCRAT • June 16, 2021

My name is Justin. I am a student at King Middle School. I have been studying energy and climate change in my expedition which has led me to realizing that poverty stricken people are affected by climate change. Floods and droughts caused by climate change are making it difficult to produce food. The prices of food are inclining, which is bad for poor countries because they can’t afford it. Some things we can do to help people being affected by climate change in poor countries is to spread awareness. We can all play a part in helping people who don’t have the things they need, by donating some money to an organisation that provides food or clothes to people in need. ~ Justin, King Middle School, Portland
