Classmate Facts # 113 - Global Warming

1. By eating less meat you can reduce the amount of methane that is sent into the atmosphere! Methane is the second most significant greenhouse gas. Cows exhale methane with every breath because of their grassy diet and multiple stomachs.

2. At the rate our climate is changing, the world will soon be warmer than it has ever been in the last 10,000 years.

3. The amount of oxygen produced by an acre of trees per year equals the amount consumed by 18 people annually.

4. Do you know that if our earth gets any warmer, forty years from now we will only be able to grow half the almonds and walnuts that we are growing now! Wouldn’t we miss our crunchy, nutty ice-creams?

5. You can stop the release of 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide gas, if you cut down your garbage by 10%.
