__** Global Warming **__ __**What is global warming?**__

Global warming is when the earth heat up. This happens because of greenhouse gasses trap heat in the earth’s atmosphere thus increasing the temperature.

__**What causes Global Warming?**__ Many things Cause global warming. One thing is electricity pollution. This is created by using electrical devices .this is harmful because to create electricity you need to burn fossil fuels which pollute the air. Another way is with the garbage in are land fills. The garbage is burned and it releases greenhouse gasses which is a big contributor to global warming

__**What do we do to stop global warming?**__ People are doing many things to try to stop global warming. One thing people are doing is carpooling. Carpooling is driving with someone to a place that you are both going to. Thi s minimizes the amount of greenhouse gases put into the air by a car. be more careful about leaving things turned on like the television, computer, and the lights. people are taking time away from the television, and instead, they are spending more time outdoors. This helps our planet out a lot. Now, more people are even riding busses, walking to school, and riding their bikes to lower the amount of greenhouse gases in the air. Planting trees and recycling also helps. If you recycle, less trash goes to the dump, and less trash gets burned. As a result, there are fewer greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere.

__**What is the government doing to stop global warming? **__

The government is doing many things to help stop global warming. The government made a law called The Clean Air Act so there is less air pollution. Global warming is making people get very bad illnesses that could make them disabled, very sick, and sometimes even die. The Clean Air Act is making many companies change their products to decrease these problems. Part of the law says that you may not put a certain amount of pollutants in the air. Hairspray and some other products, like foam cups, had this problem. Making and using these products let out too much volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), ozone-destroying chemicals (chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s), and related chemicals (such as CO2) into the air. Now, almost all of these products have a label on them telling people what this product can do to the environment and many people. By 2015 all products listed on the Clean Air Act will have this label on them:



||  WARNING: contains or manufactured with (__the chemical would go here. For example chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s__), a substance which harms public health and the environment by destroying ozone in the upper atmosphere. __**Bibliography**__
