1- How do these simulations relate to your community?Do any of them fee irrelevant to your context?
They help us to assess attitudes and rethink what we are doing in excess to change to what is necessary.The simulations relate to my community at the moment when I become aware of my actions and that the people around me have a behavior similar to mine, so I come to the conclusion that we are a consumer community and we are aggressors of the environment , we consume a lot of electric energy and a lot of water, we do not know about 80% of what we consume, until then we were not aware of and that with these simulations we are starting to have.
2-How do these simulations help you (or help you find your place in combatting climate change?
They help us understand the consequences of our actions on the environment and how our everyday footprint impacts climate change.
3-Have these simulations changed how think climate change should be tackled? Yes, they helped us to see actions that were not noticed before, we often think that because we are just a human being alone, our actions do not make the differences but we see if everyone weighs that way we will be lost.

Hello Maria,
my name is Elliot and I am your mentor for this project. In your response, you highlighted something critical - "assess attitude and rethink what we are doing in excess". it is impressive that you mentioned that the simulation helped you and your community members to identify lifestyles that impact our planet negatively. You are right by saying the simulations drew your attention to the fact that your daily actions leave a mark on our earth - I also came to that same realization bases on my lifestyle. From your comments, it is evident the simulation has made a mark on you. It my hope that we will all extend this knowledge to members of our community. Kudos and thanks for your comments. Let's us all continue to be mindful of our actions and consciously engage in activities that positively impact our world.
Question:
Do you know anyone in your community who practices activities that promote climate change?
