Earth in the Future

Over the  past 150 years humans have been burning more and more fuel. The fuel is needed to power vehicles and factories and to generate electricity. Because more fuel is being burnt, more carbon dioxide is being put into the atmosphere, so the Earth's atmosphere is absorbing more infra-red energy and the Earth is getting warmer. Now the ice at the North and South Poles is melting. This is putting more water into the seas and oceans, which can cause flooding in coastal areas. Because the Earth's atmosphere is getting warmer, there is more energy in the air, so storms, hurricanes and typhoons are becoming stronger and more frequent. There is also evidence that global warming is changing the Earth's climate, making some places drier and others wetter.

So, what can we do...? as the smart and responsible peoples, to reduce the global warming...? Well, we are agree that riding a motorcycle or using electricity is not wrong. But, we all should try and save energy, so that we can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.

Well guys..., here are some ways to save energy. Don't forget to remind your family and friends, to do these things too....!

• 
  
• Save Electricity at home, at school, and at work
  

If you turn off lights, the television, and the computer when you have finished using them, you can save a lot of energy, and reduce your electricity bill too...! Guys, do you still remember, what does Oneng,  Bajuri's wife, in television say...? remember 17 to 22...! gak perlu pake yang gak perlu kan...?

• 
  
• Bike and Walk
  

You can save energy and keep healthy too by riding a bike, or walking to school, work, or the foodstall instead of using a motorbike. Can you cut your use of motorbikes...? I'm sure you can..., so, walk more...!!!

• 
  
• Plant Trees
  

Planting trees is fun and a great way to reduce carbon dioxide. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air. So, have a tree planting day in your village. Hey..., don't cut down trees in your garden unless you really have to, okay...?!

• 
  
• Recycle
  

We can recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags, and newspaper. When we recycle, we send less trash to the landfill or rubbish tip. We are also helping to save natural resources, like trees, oil and metal.

Well, could we do it...? Positively....! So, let's do it for our future earth...!!!  Thank you
