WHAT'S THE GLOBAL WARMING?

WHAT CAN WE DO TO BE ECO-FRIENDLY ?

The Kyoto Protocol

Most governments are worried about rising greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, and th effect they may have.

In 1997, representatives from 160 countries met in Kyoto, Japan to create the Kyoto Protocol. This is a agreeement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 5.2% less than 1990 by the year 2012.


Alternative energy

Anything that comes from Earth is a natural resource. Resources such as wind, water, sunlight, and plants are renewable resources.

Renewable resources can be replaced or reused.

1. The Sun's energy is turned into power by the solar panels.
2. Natural heat from beneath Earth's surface is the geothermal energy.
3. Hydroelectric power stations, flowing water from a dam, gernerate power.
4. Wind farms and wave power use the motion of the sea or air to move the huge turbines.

SAVING ENERGY

1. Switching off the lights when leaving a room.
2. Turning off the TV, stereo,video, DVD player when you've finished using instead of leaving standby mode.
3. Turning down your central heating thermostat by as little as one degree.
