The document discusses potential solutions for addressing issues like global warming and environmental degradation. It suggests adopting renewable energy sources, recycling, using hybrid vehicles, switching to energy-efficient lightbulbs, paying carbon taxes, reducing commuting distances, taking public transit, purchasing green energy, refusing plastic bags, shutting off electronics when not in use, and inventing new solutions. The conclusion emphasizes that everyone must take action to save the planet for future generations.

2. IntroductionWe all live in a beautiful place called planet earth.In the beginning there was a balance between the humans and nature.But as time went by, the human race developed so much that it started to upset the balance, causing serious problems such as global warming, deforestation, pollution and many others.

3. Global Warming Global warming is being caused essentially by the emissions of gases such as CO2 and CFC’s.CO2 is one of the most important greenhouse gasses.This type of gasses can absorb solar radiations.Currently the emission of gasses to the atmosphere is rising what causes a stronger greenhouse effect, that causes this issue.

4. Greenhouse effect If we continue this activities the planet will get warmer and warmer and there will be consequences ConsequencesFloods

5. ConsequencesRise of temperature

6. ConsequencesAcid rain

7. The list of problems goes on and on and on…So, what can we do?

8. What can we do to save our planet?Start using renewable energy Renewable energy is the energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat. They are naturally replenished.

9. What can we do to save our planet?RecycleUsed materials that are transformed, giving rise to new materials

10. What can we do to save our planet?Adopt hybrid cars A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that uses two or more distinct (hydrogen, diesel fuel)

11. What can we do to save our planet?Change your lightbulbsReplace incandescent bulbs with fluorescent bulbs

12. What can we do to save our planet?Pay the carbon taxLimit the level of carbon that can be emitted by an industry

13. What can we do to save our planet?Let employees work close to homeAvoidsWaste of time and the planet's fuel

14. What can we do to save our planet?Ride the busPublic transit saves an estimated 1.4 billion gal. of gas annually, which translates into about 14 million tons of CO2

15. What can we do to save our planet?Buy green power, at home or awaySaves power and later, the investment will be rewarded.

16. What can we do to save our planet?Just say no to plastic bagsThe plastic bags you bring home from the supermarket probably end up in a landfill. Use cloth bags that can be used over and over again...

17. What can we do to save our planet?Shut off your computerA screen saver is not an energy saver75% of all the electricity consumed in the home is standby power used to keep electronics running when those TVs, DVRs, computers, monitors and stereos are "off."

18. What can we do to save our planet? Invent your own solutions!- With a little bit of imagination, maybe you will be the one to save our planet!

21. ConclusionWe all live in a beautiful place called planet earth and it’s in our hands to save that beauty.If you don't act, nobody will act for you!Each one of us must fight even if it's just with a little change!! WHAT ARE YOU WATING FOR?!
