THE EARTH IS HEATING UP!


Global warming is an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's surface. This catastrophic climate change is the result of emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from human activities including industrial processes, fossil fuel combustion, and changes in land use, such as deforestation.


The harmful effects of global warming on daily life are already showing up, so if we don't do anything to help the ecosystem, may be in a couple of decades, a lot of people won't have enough water, they will be flooded out of their homes (because of the sea level's increase). Also, there will be many tropical diseases.
What is happening now, is a fact that troubles all planet. So, we have to Take Action!
There are many things that we can do in our daily life that can help to make the planet a better place.

For example: Save Electricity. Also, we can save energy by sometimes taking the bus, riding a bike, or walking. Another important thing is to talk with our family and friends about climate change and let them know what we've learned. Planting trees is fun and a great way to reduce greenhouse gases, because trees absorb carbon dioxide, and greenhouse gas, from the air. Finally, we ca recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags, and newspapers. When we recycle, we send less trash to the landfill and we help save natural resources, like trees, oil, and elements such as aluminum.
