Summary on this project



This project really made me think about the earth and made me aware of the problems we are facing today with the climate.I think that this project benefited us.It probably motivated the class to save the earth by making little changes daily that can slowly progress the way the earth runs and its temperature.The things i researched were about how to make a difference at your neighborhood,at school,at home, and as a nation.Other changes in earth can affect us as the population and society in general.This is why we have to act as a whole and cooperate together to convince everyone that they can make a difference in the planet they live on by shutting down appliances and lights when not in use, recycling,not wasting paper, cleaning up garbage, and not polluting just to name a few ways we can help improve the earth's climate and keeping it from overheating.This will help us to understand what it means to protect the earth,what we can do about it,and have an update of our earth so we can be aware and be motivated to make the daily nessecary steps in saving our earth. We can use less paper in school, use more florescent lights, and keep the temperature at sixty eight degrees in the summer, keep it in school at seventy eight degrees in the winter, that way we save more energy and reduce carbon emissions.Some ways to help improve our neighborhood by joining a climate change group online as a neighborhood, planting more trees together, which one asborbs a ton of carbon dioxide its life span , discussing our ecological carbon footprints and writing down what we need to improve can also help us as a neighborhood to improve the climate.And at home, conserving water is very important to the earths energy.It is a nessesity to all of us and other living organisms in the ecosystems. This project showed us what was really important to us all if we are living on this planet, we shouldn't harm and hurt it because we as people are the main cause to climate change getting hotter and melting glaciers which are the main source of some people's water supply.Carbon emissions from cars and bad greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels we use for heating up our houses and the amount of energy we use daily pollute the air and jeopardize all the animals, insects and humans.Other things we can do to help the environment is take shorter showers.Letting the water run is something we shouldn't do.Water is very connected to energy and the more water we use the more the climate is at stake.To improve i would say that we should do more to wash our clothes in cold water.This helps us save washing in cold or at least warm water.We can also use solar power to help heat up our house instead of heaters or anything else.When we burn fossil fuels like coal,natural gas and oil,it makes allot of carbon dioxide that is released into the atmosphere,causing hram to the earth. Conserving energy in our household helps benefit the enviornment by decreasing that harm it is causing to the environment.Some effects of climate change if we don't do these things are melting glacirs and less food,potentially starving the humans and many dying aswell as animals and insects, and rising sea levels and decreased snow cover in the northern hemisphere.These things to help change this and improve the earth's enviornment are some of the things i learned about and took to mind when i was doing research for this project.



This is the effects of climate change on our world when the earths heats up drastically, melting the glaciers.
