What Can You Do To Help the Earth?

Today I will write about global warming. Global warming is an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and the consequences are climate change. Global warming is caused by many different things, but the main cause is human activity. When people drive cars and they have used all the gas the carbon is instantly released into carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. That is killing many things including our Earth and animals. Global warming is threatening one of the most popular animals of Antarctica - the penguin. Global warming is causing many penguins to diebecause they lack food to eat. Polar bears are dying of globalwarming because they are losing their homes. Ice is melting which means they can’t walk and they are drowning. Seals are dying as well. Once a seal loses itshome it swims around until it can find ice to live on. Most seals swimaround day and night to look for shelter, and when they don’t findhomes they drown. Now I could name many other names of animalsthat are dying but let’s focus on the positive side. How can we stop global warming? I know how I can. Here arefive things I can do to help the Earth and make it a better place:I will start to walk more and ride my bike more, (that’s good for the body and lives of other animals.) I will take shorter showers.Change all the light bulbs to go-green bulbs.Use less heat in the winter and less air conditioning in the summer.Use cold water more than hot. Those are some things I am doing. What can you do to help the Earth?
