The greenhouse effect
A greenhouse?
A greenhouse is a building made of glass, where you can grow flowers and
other plants that
need a lot of warmth.
How it works
The sun shines in through the glass and warms the greenhouse, and the
roof and walls the heat
from getting out.
Our Greenhouse
The Earth is surrounded by a blanket of invisible gases (with names like
carbon dioxide) that
act just like a greenhouse. The sun shines in, and the blanket of gases
traps the heat like a
roof, keeping it close to the planet.
That's good - we can't live without warmth.
What's going on
Factories, electric power plants, and cars are making a lot of new
gases. Even trees when they
are
cut down, give off the gases! These new gases are raping more and more
of the sun's heat.
This is called the greenhouse effect, or global warming.
What can happen
If the earth's temperature gets hotter by just a few degrees, it could
change the weather all
over
the planet in big ways. Places that are warm would become too hot to
live in, and places
that
are cold would become warm. The places that grow most of our food could
get too hot to
grow crops anymore.
Every kid can help stop the greenhouse effect by using less energy,
protecting and
planting trees, and by recycling so factories don't need to work as hard
making things.

II. Acid Rain
Up
in the sky
When we look up, we see the clouds and the blue sky. But there are other
things in the sky
that we don't see. Some of these are harmful to the Earth.
What happens
When power plants burn coal to make electricity, and when cars burn
gasoline, invisible gases
are released into the air. Some of these gases can mix with water and
make it acidic, like
lemon juice or vinegar.
What can happen
Sometimes the gases get into rain clouds, where they get mixed in with
rain or snow. Then the
acid
falls back to earth with the rain or snow. This is called acid rain.
Bad
news
Acid rain is extremely harmful to plants, rivers and lakes, and the
creatures that live in them.
In some places it is killing forests. And it pollutes the water that
animals and people need to
drink.
Our mission
It's very important for us to stop making acid rain. One good way to do
it to drive our car less.
Another good way is to save energy. The less energy we use, the less
coal those power plants
will have to burn.
You and your family can save energy in lots of ways. Saving energy means
saving the Earth.

III. The Ozone Hole
The ozone layer
Up in
the sky, above the air we breathe, there's a layer of gas called ozone.
It helps us by
blocking out rays from the sun that can harm our skin, and by letting
the rays that are good for
us
come through. We're lucky to have the ozone to protect us!
What's happening
Now
the ozone layer is being damaged by gases that people have made. The
gases are called
CFCs,
and halons. They are used in refrigerators, fire extinguishers, air
conditioners, plastic foam, and some
other things.
How it happens
The
CFCs float up to the top of the atmosphere, where the layer of ozone is,
and "eat up" the
ozone.
Our mission
Scientists are very concerned about the ozone layer, because a lot of it
has gone away in just a
few
years. So it's very important that we learn to do something about it.
We
can all help to stop the ozone layer from disappearing!

IV. Too Much Garbage
Garbage away!
When
you throw something away, it goes in a garbage can. Once a week the
garbage truck comes and the can is
empted, and that's the last you see of it. But what do you think happens
to the garbage then? Does it
just disappear? No way!
What happens
Almost all garbage is taken to a garbage dump, or landfill, where the
garbage truck empties it onto the ground. After the truck leaves, a big
tractor comes along and pushes dirt on top of the
garbage. So, most of our garbage is just buried.
The big mess
Now we are making so much garbage that in many places, there is not
enough room to bury it
all.
Our mission
We
have to act fast and cut down the amount of garbage. Can we do it? You
bet!
Here is how
We can recycle (which means re-using materials instead of throwing them
away) and precycle
(which means not buying things that can't be re-used, like plastic
wrapping and other
packing.) If we recycle and precycle we will produce a lot less garbage,
and help keep our
planet green!
Recycling and precycling projects can be lots of fun. To find out more
about what you
can do, be a Papersaver.
