Doyou knowwhatproblemI’m facing? Climate change!
Theglobal annual temperature is increasing in every years. • Itkeepsrisinginthefuture.
Temperature rise is related to the carbon dioxide concentration! Wheredotheycomefrom?
The Industrial Revolution is one of the main causes of climate change
Fossil fuel Combustion • Industrial processes • Deforestation • Transportation and even buildings The causes of CLIMATE CHANGE
Greenhouse Gases • WaterVapour • Carbondioxide(CO2) • Methane • Nitrousoxide • Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
GLOBAL WARMING !! some of the heat from the Sun escapes into space sunlight heating up the Earth carbon dioxide in the atmosphere traps some of the heat from the Sun Enhanced greenhouse effect

Inourdailylife,weusealotofenergy. What are the energy sources?
FOSSILFUEL • Theyaremadefromdeadbodiesoforganisms frommillion years ago. • They are LIMITED! • They produce energy, also POLLUTIONS!
Pollutants like sulphur dioxideandcarbon dioxide are released in the burning of fuels. killing living things in lakes and rivers
It’s time for us totake actionto find out other alternativeenergy sources! SUSTAINABLEENERGY!
Sustainable energy • Sustainable Energy has two key components:
RENEWABLEENERGY! Wind Power Hydro-electricPower Tidal Power Solar Power
Light -Switch lighting on only when you need it. -Use daylight whenever possible. -Place your lighting carefully where you need it. -Use dimmers where possible (except for fluorescent lamps and compact fluorescent bulbs). -Use non-opaque, light-coloured lamp shades.
AirConditioning -When buying an air-conditioner, check its Energy Efficiency Ratio,with lower numbers denoting better efficiency. -Close off areas that do not require air-conditioning, and turn air-conditioners off in unoccupied rooms. -Set the temperature to an energy-efficient level so that you will feel comfortable rather than cold. -Use fans instead of air-conditioning whenever possible.
Use public transport (bus) in stead of cars • Ride bicycle to replace cars • Walk by feet if your destination is not far Transportation
HUMAN BEINGS HAVE BEEN DESTROYING THE EARTH! NOW, WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE SAVE TO THE EARTH!
The end Thank You!
