Because in January, this December to January, there are many many snakes around our neighborhood. So what we do is we help each other or evacuating their things and also we help to rescue we have helped to evacuate snakes. Because there are about two or three snakes in each house and some snakes are poisoned.

- There are many disasters in Indonesia. For past months, like in December, and in January there are floods, there are earthquakes, the temperature has changed. Temperature is going hotter or hotter than before and there are too many earthquakes.
- What can we do in the situation like peoples, like humans, maybe already people are changing in your country, inside? Understanding that the climate is changing. Maybe we should be more friendly more united and cooperating and help each other. Could you tell, maybe your opinion of course. How it can be better?
- My opinion is about human to human for your side. We have to help each other. It is important to help each other, making up people, because we cannot live alone we have to get someone to help with. And also maybe we can for humans environments maybe we can stop cutting trees, cutting forests and start to plant green, something like plants or trees, that can prevent what is happening.
From there we can get united.- Is it important to inform people about or what climatic changes are taking place all over the world now, on our planet, in order for all people to be informed of what is happening and what will happen in the future.
- Yes, it's important to report the climate changes around the world, so we would know we're going to face. It is important to make reporting climate changes around the world. Because we will know what we have to do, and we know what will we face, and we can start making changes around the world. So it's kind of helping each other, makeup to each other. To make the earth healthier than before.
