The document discusses how acid rain is formed from sulfur dioxide released by burning fossil fuels like coal and oil. It affects water sources, organisms, and structures by speeding their deterioration. Acid rain is common in New England and threatens to damage memorials, statues, and other structures that remind us of the past. Individual actions like walking, biking, or carpooling can help reduce emissions and acid rain by burning less fossil fuels. Planting more trees can also help absorb sulfur dioxide and reduce acid rain.

2. Problem
 Explain how the release of sulfur dioxide (SO2) into
the atmosphere can form acid rain, and how acid rain
affects water sources, organisms and human-made
structures.

3. What does acid rain effect?
 Trees
 Water
 Buildings
 Statues
 Animals
 Bridges
 Etc.

5. How does this affect us?
 Acid rain is found commonly in New England. Our
memorials and statues throughout town will lose their
features. Our reminders of the past, such as the
Vietnam Memorial, and other structures could be
ruined by acid rain. This can be helped by simply
walking to a friends house, riding a bike to work if it is
close, if not carpool with others to save gas. Any little
effort can help a lot.

6. What causes acid rain?
 Burning coal and oil
 Releases of sulfur dioxide
 Not enough trees to absorb the sulfur dioxide

8. Can we stop global warming?
 Yes we can…
 Burn less coal and oil
 Plant trees
