Global Warming and How You Can Help Prevent It!
Global warming has been a major topic of concern over the last several years as around the world we are seeing bigger and more destructive changes taking place, always for the worse.
What is Global Warming?
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans, causing sea levels to rise, changes in precipitation, melting of glaciers, extreme weather patterns, and extinction in both plant and animal species.
What causes Global Warming?
Some of the major causes of global warming are said to be from the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations (pertaining from human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation).
What can you do about Global Warming?
Educate yourself
Lean everything you can about global warming and pass the information on to others. There are many simple steps that can be taken to improve all of the damage we have done, we just simply need to work together.

Practice what you preach
Make sure you are taking all the steps to prevent global warming. Recycle as much as you can, buy fruits and vegetables that are grown locally, use energy saving lights, conserve water, don’t use the car so much, walk or ride a bike, don’t waste paper, etc. These are practical things can be done day to day and can make an incredible difference if everyone does them!
