= THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT = --Our atmosphere is like a blanket that keeps us warm. The blanket is made of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane gases and nitrous oxide. We need to stay warm to live! First the sun warms up the earth. Most of the heat is kept in with a blanket of atmospheric gases. Some of the suns rays go back into space.



Global warming is when we have too much carbon dioxide in the air and it makes our earth hot! The plants and animals could die if we don’t take care of our earth.

-Humans burn fossil fuel. That is oil made from dinosaur bones! We burn this oil to drive trucks, and cars and run power plants to make electricity and run factories. When we burn this oil, carbon dioxide come up into the air. This makes the planet too hot! Warmer temperatures are affecting the plants and trees. Imagine no more pine trees for Christmas. Soon we might not have any more french fries because warmer temperatures are killing the potato plants. The fish are dying too! We need trees for oxygen we need plants for food. We need fish to eat. This is serious! We need to stop polluting the air!
 * GLOBAL WARMING: CONTRIBUTING FACTORS **
 * GLOBAL WARMING: LOCAL EFFECTS **

-We could help the planet by burning less fossil fuels by driving less cars and use buses and trains more. Also we could drive an electric car. Electric cars have batteries. They do not use gasoline so they cause less pollution. That is good for us because they do not put CO2 in the air! You charge the batteries at night while you sleep. Instead of gas stations you could have a charging station! Electric cars cost less money so you have more money for toys and movies!
 * WHAT YOUR AUDIENCE CAN DO DIFFERENTLY: One specific area of focus **

We could help the planet by burning less fuel. People could ride the bus more Electric cars can help. Electric cars cost $.05 a mile. Gasoline cars cost $.12 a mile! Driving an electric car can save a lot more money and save the planet. The earth is our home and we should keep it clean!
