2012-20132013Global WarmingHow to save the world!You can be a hero of your own!Global warming has been a serious problem for over a decade! You all already know what causesclimate change: CO₂ EMISSION, ENVIRONMENT POLLUTION!!! Something so simple to prevent,yet humanity’s so careless to even try! Icebergs are melting because of US, causing floods, andthe atmosphere’s polluted, causing acid rain, all because of us!What you can do is firstly separate your garbage. Recycle paper, plastics, carton and glassmaterial! This way fewer trees will be cut down, which means more trees, more carbon dioxideabsorption and additionally, by recycling glass and plastic objects, there will be a reduction of CO₂emission because they will not have to heat up all those chemicals to form those materials. Askyour headmistress for three separate trash cans in each classroom, labelling them each with thethree different materials and ask if it’s possible to plant more trees for CO₂ absorption, not justfor that, but also to create a nice learning environment!Secondly, what you can all do is use public transport because it transports a large group of peopleby only producing the same amount of CO₂ as a car, which can accommodate only five passengers.Last, but not least, try and reduce your energy consumption! Use solar systems for electricity,water heating, heating etc! Additionally, you shouldn’t have your electrical devices on stand-bymode, but instead switch them off completely because they still consume a huge amount of energy(especially computers)!Following these simple directions, one by one, you will make a huge change! We might not beable to stop what has already happened but we can prevent any further damage.Join us, make a change!GO GREEN!!!Maria Patapiou, 5IBGo green51
