Emma Montgomery, 18, says she would attack companies instead of

people. "One thing! get upset by in terms of climate change is how
there's a big focus on what the individual can do," the senior at

Ossining High School in New York says. "In reality, it's the

corporations that are contributing the most" to climate change. She

wants heavy restrictions on companies that produce too much
carbon dioxide.

The government could also work together with businesses to limit
the burning of fossil fuels, says Preeti Sai Krishnamani, 17. She's a

senior at the Charter School of Wilmington in Delaware. "I'd want
them to work together for green innovation and to reinvent their

products," she says. "The only way you can influence people is to
change the products they are using."

While we're making big changes, says Amal Singh, 18, let's go
worldwide. "I would impose a carbon tax on all countries," says the

senior at Lynbrook High School in San Jose, Calif. "The money

would be used to reduce the effects of climate change."
