    Things You Can Do
    The atmosphere in relation to the size of our planet is like one thin layer of paint around a soccer ball. Over 70 million tons of heat trapping carbon dioxide from human activities is pumped into our atmosphere ever day. Sooner of later there has to be an effect. Energy demand will continue to rise sharply as third world countries develop and the human population continues to rise sharply in a very short time span. Facts are facts no matter what your political views are and clean technology has to be the way forward, if we want our children to have a future to look forward to!
