What is Global Warming?

3 [DocID]Hewitt Associates

Global warming may be caused by excess

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere.

4 [DocID]Hewitt Associates

CO2 comes from burning fossil fuels. Fossil

fuels are coal, oil, and gasoline.

5 [DocID]Hewitt Associates

The exhaust that comes from cars and

factories is CO2 and it clogs up the

atmosphere.

6 [DocID]Hewitt Associates

When the atmosphere is clogged the sun’s heat that comes in can’t get out.

7 [DocID]Hewitt Associates

This will start heating us up.

8 [DocID]Hewitt Associates

How can we help?

9 [DocID]Hewitt Associates

We can plant more trees. Trees breathe in

CO2 and breathe out oxygen (O).

10 [DocID]Hewitt Associates

Recycling will cut down on electricity used in making new things instead of reusing old things.

11 [DocID]Hewitt Associates

Turning off a light when you’re done in a room or taking a shorter shower will save electricity, to help the environment.

12 [DocID]Hewitt Associates

Walk or ride your bike to a friend’s house or the park instead of driving. By doing that we decrease the amount of air pollution.
