Climate Change

Causes

Most climate changes happen when fossil fuels are burned and sent to the atmosphere. It can also be caused by too much electricity being used and the smoke coming from a car can effect climate change as well! The earth uses carbon dioxide (CO2) to trap heat. Electricity, fossil fuels and cars also produce CO2. This makes the earth warmer and upsets the earth. It makes floods, melts ice caps and causes big problems. Even 1/3 of food is wasted in the western world!!! The more CO2 one produces is called a carbon footprint.

How to prevent it

It’s easy to prevent climate change! Even if its just a small thing, like turning off computers or lights, it could make a very big difference. Start by turning off electric devices when your done with them (because it also costs lots of money to keep them on all day!) and try using the three R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). Instead of driving to school, walk or cycle. If you live far away from school, at least drive closer to school and walk from there, or you could even get the bus! Maybe you could buy an electric car if you want to. Recycling rain water and having a two minute shower is another way of preventing this. Stop printing. If everybody on earth did all this, climate change would never be an issue!!!
