•Carbon Dioxide (CO2)-Sources
•Burning fossil fuels (gasoline for cars, coal for electricity)•Cutting down and burning forests.
-Ways to reduce•Plant more trees/plants•Reduce the amount of fuel and electricity we use.
• Methane (CH4)– Sources
• Cows• Rotting Vegetation
– Ways to reduce• Eat less beef and dairy• Slow population growth
• Water Vapor (H20)– Sources
• Transpiration of plants• Naturally Occurring
– Ways to reduce• Warmer air can hold more water
vapor.• Keep the atmosphere from
warming.
• Nitrous Oxide (N2O)– Sources
• Soil, Manure and Sewer Management
– Ways to reduce• Eat less beef and dairy• Slow population growth

What is happening/might happen?• Average global temperature rise of ¾ °C.• Glaciers and ice caps melting/rise in sea level.• Changes in climates and severity of weather.• Organisms will migrate or die out.• Our “breadbasket” might move to Canada.• Diseases and invasive species spread.• A link to EPA’s Climate Change Site

How can the following help reduce greenhouse gasses?
• Stop breathing (just kidding . . . I said just kidding)• Riding your bicycle/scooter/skateboard/walk• Turning off (and unplugging) your appliances• Turning lights off/using ambient (outside) light• Turning the heat down & wearing a sweatshirt• Taking shorter showers• Growing your own food• Buying local food• Eating all of your food (no food waste)• Planting/protecting plants

How can the following help reduce greenhouse gasses?
• Reduce–Clothes–Water Usage
• Reuse–Bags–Binders/folders– Food containers–Backpacks

How can the following help reduce greenhouse gasses?
• Rethink–Cell phones/electronics–Clothes
• Recycle–Paper–Plastic
• TELL OTHER PEOPLE (preferably without being too judgmental)
