B. PARAGRAPH 2

SAVE OUR PLANET

The earth is heating up at an unprecedented rate. Tropical diseases are appearing. Every summer is more unbearable than the last.
Massive fires devastate our forests. Someone just sailed a pleasure boat through the once frozen “Northwest Passage” connecting the
North Atlantic to the North Pacific via the North Pole.
What is being done? Solutions that actually cool the earth’s atmosphere.
Scientists tell us that the main culprit in global warming is carbon in the form of CO2. This is why trees are so important and why global
deforestation is a key part of global warming.
Trees remove CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. They release the oxygen (O2) back into the atmosphere for us to
breathe and use the carbon (C) to build cell walls. As long as the tree is alive, it soaks up C; together trees in a forest become a “carbon
sink” holding carbon that cannot contribute to global warming.
