Global Warming: Truth or Trick?

I agree that Global Warming will end the life on Earth. I believe that humans are the ones that are partially causing Global Warming by polluting the air with greenhouse gases such as CO2, methane, water vapor, and nitrous oxide.
When these gases go up into the atmosphere they make the ozone layer thinner which causes harmful UV rays (also known as Ultraviolet Rays) to enter the Earth.
Now I know that all of you have heard this but, REDUCE, REUSE, and RECYCLE! It may have gotten on your last nerves but one person can make a big difference. If we recycle one ton of paper we are saving :

• 17 trees
• 6,953 gallons of water
• 463 gallons of oil (a non-renewable resource)
• 587 pound of air pollution
• 3.06 cubic yards of landfills
• 4,077 kilowatt hours of energy

REUSE. Americans these days recycle upto 13 million glass jars a day. Now that's AMAZING!

If we REDUCE the use of cars and other vehicles which guzzle up petroleum, we are really helping the environment. Did you know that 26% of the pollution in the Earth's atmosphere is caused by vehicles that use petrol?

You see. We really can make a difference. 1 ton of paper! I mean if one town recycled 1 ton of paper we would save all of those non-renewable resources and energy. It's AMAZING! :)

But recycling is just one of the many things that can save our planet. You could always ride to school or work on your bike, walk, or if it's not possible to walk or ride on your bike, CARPOOL!

See everyone can really make a difference and so can YOU! :)

FACTS ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING!

• Did you know that in 2003 the average person consumed 850 pounds of paper. That's a lot! If every person recycled that paper, we probably wouldn't be in this mess!
• Glass can never wear out. It can be recycled again and again and again.
  

All together we have learned that if every one of us can Recycle or Substitute cars and other vehicles to drive to their destination by using bikes and even walking, we can diminish the 26% of pollution in the air.

Now, I know that it's not always possible that we can walk or ride our bikes to school, but doing this SOMETIMES can help YOU save money and help the EARTH survive!

Thank you everyone and have a very nice day!
