2. Do you know, if the temperature of our Earth rises, almost 7 million people in India will have to move their homes, because the sea levels will rise and cover some parts of Chennai and Mumbai.

3. Making cans from recycled aluminum uses 90% less energy than making cans from scratch. We can watch TV for 3 hours from the energy saved from recycling one can!

4. The glacial lake in Southern Chile was sighted in March, but two months later it had completely disappeared! The culprit: global warming.
