Aim: To learn about the different activities that contribute to Climate Change
1. Industry
2. Transport
Most cars need gas or diesel to work. These come from oil, which is a fossil fuel. The Carbon Dioxide in oil goes into the atmosphere when the car is running.
3. Waste
Our landfills are growing and using up more healthy land. When waste breaks down
4. Cows
Cows create a greenhouse gas called methane when they burp and fart. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is 1.5 billion cows around the world, methane is having a big effect on climate change.
5. Food
We need food to survive, but it creates a lot of pollution. Transporting food by ships, planes, trains, and trucks add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Clearing the land for farms and farming practise also create greenhouse gases.
6.Electricity
Electricity is a form of energy used to power almost everything in our home. Electricity can come from renewable sources ( water, wind, sun ) and non-renewable sources like fossils fuels ( oil and gas ). Fossil fuels release CO2 into the atmosphere
