  2. another planet like earth.
  3. They've been looking in our solar system that planets such
  4. as mars, but no planet comes close to our home
  5. earth. This is why it's very important to preserve the
  6. home that we have because once the earth doesn't allow
  7. for life to live on it any more than we'll
  8. have nowhere else to go, astronomy has contributed to global
  9. warming and the earth is already feeling its effects.
  10. An example of this would be the space satellites that
  11. leave debris in the space and some of them come
  12. back down into earth's atmosphere.
  13. Astronomers rely a lot on fossil fuels for energy and
  14. for things like telescope operation, their travel and um, just
  15. overall with their work, this leads astronomers creating a large
  16. carbon footprint and their practice being on the less sustainable
  17. side. There are astronomers for Earth, which is an organization
  18. that's helping on um making the earth last and having
  19. astronomers become more sustainable, which would be a great way
  20. to help there.
