The four key contributors of climate change are water vapor‚ methane‚ ozone and carbon dioxide. Some of the current trends that have proven existence of global warming include warming of the planet‚ rise of sea level‚ and natural calamities such as storm and floods (Archer 2011‚ 3).

Without the Ozone layer there will be nothing to stop the suns rays from heating the earth to outrageous temperatures(Wikipedia).

In The Town I live in we have some community issue as with litter. The Main Reason I Picked this issue out of all of the others is because littering in our community is very poorly taken care of and it needs to be improved and addressed. If the Improvement is made then human and animals can be safe and out of most harm way. Few things I will be Explaining about is how it effects us‚ how it can be improved‚ and finally how it can benefit us in our future. Littering can make or break our life as we

Environment - how can you help protect it? Our planet is in trouble! Almost every day we seem to hear of yet another problem affecting the environment - and what a list of problems! - pollution‚ acid rain‚ climate change‚ the destruction of rainforests and other wild habitats‚ the decline and extinction of thousands of species of animals and plants....and so on. Nowadays‚ most of us know that these threats exist and that humans have caused them. Many of us are very worried about the future of our

defects. The pollution from the ozone layer comes from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Because sunlight has a critical role in its formation‚ ozone pollution is principally a daytime problem in the summer months. Ground level ozone is produced when sunlight combines with hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide‚ two compounds produced by cars‚ trucks‚ and found wherever gasoline‚ kerosene‚ oil or natural gas are combusted. When temperatures are high ground-level ozone reach levels that are dangerous to health

The atmosphere is a complex natural gaseous system that is essential to support life on planet Earth. Stratospheric ozone depletion due to air pollution has long been recognized as a threat to human health as well as to the Earth’s ecosystems. Indoor air pollution (see Airlog) and urban air quality are listed as two of the world’s worst toxic pollution problems in the
