What Can I Do? |

Scientists agree that the burning of fossil fuels is causing global warming. Since these fuels are burned for energy, and everyone uses energy, everyone can help stop global warming just by using less energy.
Think about the things you do each day that use energy. The lights in your house use electricity. TVs and computers use electricity. Dryers, washing machines, and dishwashers all use natural gas or electricity. Every time you ride in your car, it uses gasoline. By reducing the amount of time you spend in a car or running appliances, like lights and fans, you can reduce your carbon dioxide emissions.

Using a bike instead of a car can help prevent climate change.
