I disagree with climate change being called climate change. Change is almost always talked about or explained as a good thing, something you must accept, or it's completely neutral, which in this case is wrong. It's bad. It's literally the end of the world. Therefore, to get people to pay attention, to care, change the name. I suggest calling it climate crisis or climate damage. People may argue that it sounds too severe. But, let me ask you, shouldn't the name of a big problem sound as severe as the problem itself? No. No it's not.

What is learning? That’s a hard question to answer. Learning is a lot of different things, to a lot of different people. Some say learning is knowledge that is acquired through experience, or it’s memorizing something, or maybe it’s just changing and growing. There’s not really a right or wrong answer, just opinions.

To me, things like that is learning from experience.   One strong example I can think of learning is when I learned to ride a bicycle. I...

It’s not just “poachers are bad” there are different kinds of poachers. The ones who do it for fun and the ones who do it because they have to. It's important to know which is which. The ones who poach because they have to need something else to  turn to and the ones who do it for fun in my opinion need an education or someone needs to change their minds. Something most people don’t think of when it comes to poaching is the buyers. Some people who are most guilty are the buyers. They’re encouraging poaching by paying big money for animal parts. For example: Poachers poach and then they sell rhino horns for $65,000 a kilogram in 2012. If there were no buyers, there wouldn’t be a point for poachers to poach. I think something that would make a difference to the buyers is seeing pictures of dead animals, ...
