Stop Global Warming!!!

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's surface. This rising in temperature obviously give us hotter weather, strange weather pattern, melts the ice at north pole that decreases the living habitat for animals such as polar bear, increases the sea level and causes many island and shorelines to decrease in size, and also affects the growing of crops for consumption. There are many causes to this temperature rise, and big part of it is resulted from human activities. Things such as electricity that we use require burning of the fossil fuel and produces heat and CO2. Too much of this that earth can not "handle" result in this temperature increase. So some simple things we can do is to decrease in electricity usage. You can use energy-saving light bulbs, turn off lights when they are not needed, use a fan instead of air conditioner in warm weather,... etc. Cars are also another big pollutant so cut down on driving, car pool, take public transportation, ride bicycle or simply just walking whenever possible would help. Everything we use in our lives require resources to create and produce heat and CO2, so make sure they are not wasted, try to reuse or recycle. This is just some basics about global warming, to read more, check out the links in the "Posted Items" section or discuss them in the discussion board!

Let's all be responsible earthlings and help preserve this great planet we live on for ourselves and our children! Take action now!
