The document discusses various environmental issues including carbon emissions, damage to the ozone layer, the Kyoto Protocol, efforts to save wildlife, and actions individuals can take to help the environment such as using reusable bags and driving hybrid cars. It also mentions that scientists are researching additional clean energy sources like water, nuclear, solar, and wind power.

Class

2. 
The Dreaded Carbon
Footprint
 Carbon emissions from cars
and carbon dioxide
emissions from the burning
of fossil fuels releases water
pollution, damage to the
Ozone, acid rain, etc.

3. 
“O” no!
 The Ozone protects us
from dangerous ultraviolet
light produced by the sun.
 CFCs (a spray can’s
byproduct) have been
proven to damage the
Ozone.
 Today there is a hole in the
Ozone that is growing.
 This could lead to more
skin cancer.

4. 
Kyoto Protocol
 In the 1990s, industrial
countries met in Kyoto,
Japan to discuss how to
deal with this problem and
cut down on green house
gas emissions.
 Also, many people are
concerned with global
warming and thus
working to prevent this
problem.

5. 
Save the whales, trees, etc…
 Around the world, people have become concerned
with saving the environment.

6. 
But What Can You Do?
 People use reusable
shopping bags, energy
efficient light bulbs and
appliances, etc.

7. 
Hybrid Cars
 Hybrid and electric cars utilize much cleaner, safer
energy than typical cars.
 Unfortunately, they are not perfect and are
EXPENSIVE.

8. 
Other Energy Sources
 Scientists are designing
technologies that work
using other safe fuel
sources such as:
 Water
 Nuclear energy
 Solar energy
 Wind energy
