        Hi 927cmte48 ,

        My work uses computer models to try and understand how different things affect the air, so that we can work out what is the best thing to do for climate change.

        For example, my computer codes can tell me what the effect is of planting forests in different places, and how their emissions combine with human made pollution.

        Good question!

        Yes, it does. My work tracks and identify the sources of various pollutants in the air. And as such, we can all work together to reduce the pollutants from these major sources so as to keep our air clean and healthy.

        I hope so. I have a bit of equipment that monitors and looks for air pollution so that I can tell people if there is a problem so they can do something about it.

        I also speak to people like yourself and tell them how we can help reduce air pollution.

        One day I think it will! If we can make more of our plastics out of waste plant material like I’m trying to do then we will make less carbon dioxide and pollution so we have cleaner air!
