Facts gathered from a study conducted by the University
of Illinois, the International Energy Agency, and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
use energy Wisely
Using electricity or driving a car does have
an effect on the environment, but by using
energy wisely we can prevent waste and
reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
CO2 is a greenhouse gas that accumulates in the Earth’s
atmosphere, trapping heat from the sun and keeping
the planet warm. CO2 comes, in part, from the burning
of fossil fuels, such as coal and gasoline, to generate
electricity for use in our homes and to power our cars.
The amount of CO2 in our atmosphere has increased
over the past century, and the majority of scientists
questioned in a recent international study agree that
global temperatures have risen dramatically compared
with levels from the 1800s, with human activity being
a significant contributing factor. According to the
International Energy Agency, a warmer Earth may lead
to changes in rainfall patterns, a rise in sea level, and a
wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans.
A good way to visualize CO
2
is to imagine that
1kg of CO
2
would fill up 1566 soda cans (0,35l),
or a box 0,8m high, 0,8m wide and 0,8m deep
