The Ozone Layer

Do you guys know that by using chemicals we are destroying the ozone?
The Ozone is a layer of the atmosphere that protects the Earth from harmful sunlight. We are using too much of a chemical called CFC which is creating a hole in the ozone. Without the ozone do you know what would happen to us? Our children and the next generation would get skin cancer and sunburn. I am sure none of us want a future like that for our children.

Global Warming!



What is global warming?
Global warming is when the Earth gets hotter.

Effects of Global Warming!

Now, while going through our website, what have you learned? Think of this, when you're like about 20 (not sure) what type of earth do you want?  A dirty one or one that is filled with nature? Think about it.




Water Levels: As the temperatures warm,  the oceans will get bigger and ice will melt into the oceans. 







Habitats: Global warming will cause the endangering of animals and plants by  changing their habitats ( like some fishes in the sea).





Health:  Heat- related deaths from diseases like malaria could happen more through warmer temperatures.
