Environment. Lesson 3
Extreme heat
Countries like India, Mexico, and parts of Australia suffer from very high temperatures. These hot days are becoming more common. In some places, it’s hard to work or go to school during the hottest hours.
One solution is to build houses with better materials that keep cool air inside. Solar panels are also useful—they give clean energy and help reduce pollution. We can plant more trees. Trees give shade and clean the air. Governments can help as well by making green spaces in cities.
