Global Climate Change

Today I learned about global climate change. The earth is heating up because human activity is increasing the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases come from using coal and oil. Polar ice shelves are breaking into small pieces. Polar bears are drowning because the ice is melting away.

There are things that everyone can do to slow down global warming. We can look for solar, tidal, hydroelectric, and geothermal power. We can stop driving so much, and start biking or walking instead. Or we could buy electric cars. We can turn off the lights, TV and computers when we're not using them. We can reduce, reuse and recycle.
