If you could change something in the world what would it be?
To stop wars and the consequences of this on the people who live in those countries would be a priority.
Another one would be working together to save resources and make environmental changes. Dealing with climate change for the future generations of our world.
I would like to see a rapid increase in renewal energy, with no more burning of fossil fuels and clean energy being used in our home, more electric cars on the road, and no more wasting energy.
