2. Farming

Believe or not, cow’s eating habits contribute towards greenhouse gases Just like us, when cows eat, methane gasbuilds up their digestive system and is released in the form of a fart! This might sound funny, but when you imaginethat there are about 1.5 billion cows releasing all that gas into the atmosphere, it sure adds up!

3. Deforestation

Forest absorb huge amounts of carbon dioxide- a greenhouse gas- from the air, and release oxygen back into it TheAmazon rainforest is so large and efficient at doing this that it is often called “the lungs of the earth” Sadly, manyrainforests are being cut down to make wood and palm oil, and to clear the way for farmland, roads, oil mines anddams

Earth has had many tropical climates and ice ages over the billions of years that it has been in existence, sowhy is now so different? Well, this is because for the last 150 years, human activity has meant we are releasing ahuge amount of harmful gases into Earth’s atmosphere, and records show that global temperatures are rising morerapidly since this time

The story of Sadako Sasaki and the thousand paper cranes has become known internationally as a reminder of theeffects of war on the innocent It is told in many schools on the anniversary of the effects of war on the innocent It istold in many schools on the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing and people all over Japan celebrate August 6th as

an annual peace day

Everyday, children bring origami cranes to Sadako’s statue in memory of her and all the other innocent children whohave died as a result of war The crane has long been a symbol of hope and longevity, but in Sadako’s memory, it hasalso become as a symbol of peace
