It's essentially warming the earth up, and throwing all of our seasons off balance and melting the polar ice caps.]]> 2020-02-05 14:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/veronica_smith8/de2cz2kz65ma/wish/440921704 veronica_smith8 https://padlet.com/veronica_smith8/de2cz2kz65ma/wish/440922552 Global warming is slowly killing our planet. We've gotten to the point where we'll probably never be able to reverse the effects because we've let it go on for too long. States that have never gotten snow are getting piles of it, while states that usually have harsh winters aren't getting any. The polar ice caps are melting and the water levels are rising. We're killing our planet. There isn't going to be a planet for future generations to live in.]]> 2020-02-05 14:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/veronica_smith8/de2cz2kz65ma/wish/440922552 veronica_smith8 https://padlet.com/veronica_smith8/de2cz2kz65ma/wish/440925049 You don't have to be a scientist to make a big change. Something as simple as changing your light bulbs to a more  eco-friendly brand can make a big difference. You can unplug things that you aren't using. You can even help by changing your eating habits. Stop wasting food, you can even help by growing your own! Eat more meat-free meals, and buy things locally grown as much as you can.

I'm going to make sure to unplug my desktop when I'm not using it. I'm going to carpool to school more often, and when I can't do that I'm either going to walk or take the bus.]]> 2020-02-05 14:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/veronica_smith8/de2cz2kz65ma/wish/440927701 veronica_smith8 https://padlet.com/veronica_smith8/de2cz2kz65ma/wish/440928446 TELL PEOPLE.
The deadliest part of Global Warming is that people actually don't believe it exists, or that it's harming our planet. Nothing is going to be fixed if we can't get people to realize how badly we're hurting our planet.]]> 2020-02-05 14:27:02 UTC https://padlet.com/veronica_smith8/de2cz2kz65ma/wish/440928446 veronica_smith8 https://padlet.com/veronica_smith8/de2cz2kz65ma/wish/440931315 2020-02-05 14:30:45 UTC https://padlet.com/veronica_smith8/de2cz2kz65ma/wish/440931315 veronica_smith8 https://padlet.com/veronica_smith8/de2cz2kz65ma/wish/440933935 2020-02-05 14:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/veronica_smith8/de2cz2kz65ma/wish/440933935
