Dear Editor:
I am a student at John Black Public School. I would like to inform the public about a very important topic: global warming.
Global warming is something we should all be concerned about. Sooner or later, global warming will start to really impact animals and human lifestyles. Different habitats will be destroyed and wildlife will suffer from extinction. That will start to affect our ecosystem.
There are certain animals who have adapted in cold climates. With global warming happening, it is causing these cold climates to heat up and start melting away. That is also what is causing extinction of that species and more for different causes.
Continuing to use gas cars means more greenhouse gasses are released into the atmosphere, potentially causing irreversible damage if we don’t take action to fight global warming soon.
There are simple things you guys could do to start fighting global warming today. You could use electric cars, stop emitting more greenhouse gasses into the air such as using fossil fuels for energy to power up homes, buildings, etc.
Use renewable energy that doesn’t cause more greenhouse gasses.
There are plenty of renewable energies that you could use. The ones most commonly used are hydro energy, wind energy, solar energy, and geothermal energy. All these simple things that you can do will help us all fight climate change. Let’s all be a better community and save our planet.
A little goes a long way.
