=// Global Warming //= = = = = = THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT = The greenhouse is used to make the plants grow. It keeps the plants warm in the winter. These greenhouses heat up like the inside of a car left outside in sun. When the house is cold you put on a blanket or the heat. If the house is hot you put on fans or the air conditioner. Greenhouse gases make the earth warmer by trapping the energy in the atmosphere .

GLOBAL WARMING: THE BIG PICTURE
Global warming refers to an increase in the earth’s temperature. This changes the climate. A warmer earth may lead to changes in rainfall, a rise in water, plants, wildlife and humans.



Carbon dioxide contributed to this. Too many cars use gasoline. The sun and the temperature keep changing.
 * GLOBAL WARMING: CONTRIBUTING FACTORS **



We need to carpool if more than two people. We need to turn the lights off and all computers when not in use or needed. You can take the bus, walk or ride your bike. We can recycle more than just throw things out. Buy items that are more energy savers.
 * GLOBAL WARMING: LOCAL EFFECTS **



We are talking to a group of people in a school. I feel we can buy recyclable products instead of not recyclable. Look for products that have the three arrows on them that make a circle on the package. These items are usually made from things that have already been used. It takes less energy to make recycled products than to make new ones. The less energy used the better. Kids should walk or ride their bikes instead of getting a ride in a car or the bus.
 * WHAT YOUR AUDIENCE CAN DO DIFFERENTLY: One specific area of focus **

1.The weather has changed by getting warmer. 2. We recycle more cans, bottles and paper. 3. Children should walk or ride their bikes more often to school
