Classmate Facts # 115 - Global Warming

1. One person travelling by plane for one hour produces as much as carbon dioxide as an average Indian produces in one year!

2. The airplane meadows are disappearing due to higher temperatures. Bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and grizzly bears are becoming homeless!

3. The plastic bottles that you use today will break down completely in your great-great-great grandson’s time! (It takes about 450 years just for one plastic bottle to break down in the ground.)

4. Between 34 to 80 fish species have become extinct since the late 19th century. 6 since 1970. The reason: Global Warming!

5. If all our newspaper was recycled, we could save about 250,000,000 trees each year!

6. In 1999, just eight nations were responsible for nearly 50% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions.
