Global Warming. Pollution. These are the biggest problems in our world today. The earth is heating up too much. It has been increasing speed since 1900.

The animals there are being affected, too. And us. We think it’s not a problem, but it IS. Here are the most important facts about this:

List of things we can do to help:

1. Recycle. This is more to help pollution, but it also affects global warming.
2. Plant trees. Trees help the air and clean it out. These great parts of nature can change the world.
