Global warming :The Power of You

We have been given an amazing gift from the god

Earth…..

The greatest gift of all

We have been given the opportunity to live among the earth’s beauty…

• ….and its natural resources

But

Today…...

Much of the world has evolved into a

modern era of………

TECHNOLOGY

INDUSTRIAL GROWTH

Its human population growing exponentially.

Like this….

Or This

Earth has evolved into a…………..

very different place.

We are now faced with a……

Serious Problem !!

That affects

You,

Me,

Our Children…..

Future generations

of people from all over the world

It is called…..

Global Warming

and we are responsible….

What is Global Warming

A general warming effect felt on the Earth’s surface produced by

greenhouse gases.

Primary Greenhouse Gases

Nitrous OxideReleased from artificial sail fertilization, the burning of fossil fuel, and livestock manure.

These gases and other air pollution collects in the atmosphere like a thick blanket

trapping the sun’s heat causing the planet to warm…

…….We are sending greenhouse gases into the environment.

when our massive and ever-increasing population performs these daily functions,

electricity used.

Electricity comes from power plant

Which produce greenhouse gases.

also, consider this….

There are countless greenhouse gases producing factories around the world that make the things…..

We buy and use everyday

All the trash send to landfills around the

world produce greenhouse gases

It is important to know the greenhouse effect is necessary. without it, the earth would not be warm enough for humans to live

However……

If we continue to increase the amount of greenhouse gases into

the atmosphere…..

If we continue to increase the amount of greenhouse gases into

Reading-Learn about the environment.

Discussing global warming with family and friends.

Use less energy and reduce air pollution by carpooling.

Save energy by taking the bus, riding a bike or walking.

Planting trees absorbs carbon dioxide, a

greenhouse gases, from the air

Recycling cans, bottles, plastic bags, and newspaper send less trash to landfills saving

natural resources.

Buy recyclable products. They are usually made out of things that have already been

used. Look for the recycle symbol.

Consider solar energy-energy that comes from the sun. Solar energy

can be used to heat homes, buildings, and to make electricity.

Consider environmentally friendlier cars. Some cars are better for the environment travelling longer on smaller

amounts of gasoline or alternative sources of fuel.

Encourage our political and business leaders to be stronger

supporters of environmental issues promoting new, innovative

solutions.

Conclusion

“if we make small changes now in the way we live, we can avoid huge changes in the future. Scientists, governments and individuals must work together to overcome this threat.”
