Air Pollution
Global Warming
When cars release exhaust in the air, it can cause a thing called the ozone layer to thin out. The ozone layer is pretty much like a shield from the sun, but in the air. The more exhaust is released the thinner the ozone layer becomes. As a result, the heat go's up and melts the ice caps in the poles. Then, because the ice melts, it melts into water. The rise in water level can flood our cities. Also, animals like polar bears will not have ice to live on. Over time, the ozone layer could disappear, and we could be in grave danger.
John Francis
John Francis had a big contribution to the environment. Francis walked for 22 years because he refused to release exhaust into the air. During his "walk", he made a challenge to not talk. John only said approximately 10 words in the 22 years. John Francis started out by trying to help save animals when there was an oil spill by a bay in San Fransisco. Then he decided to save the world more. It`s actions like this-single choices by individuals-that we can all learn from and gain inspiration from as we attempt to reduce the effects of our impact on this beautiful planet.
Exhaust Is Not Healthy For The Environment
Exhaust is made when motorized vehicles are driving. It causes bad substances to be released into the air that make the air bad to breathe. Luckily, plant leaves make the air better to breathe. Still though, the car exhaust can kill the plants of the earth.
The hot air from the exhaust can melt the ice in the poles of the earth. If this were to happen, animals like polar bears can die because of no ice to live on (for more information look above).You can take action by walking to school, or taking a ride on your bike to school. It is also fun to go on a bike ride. Also, if you have a friend in the area, and both of you are going to the same place, you can ride in one car instead of two, to reduce the amount of exhaust being released. Public Transportation can even have a greater impact on reducing emissions, due to the efficiency of moving so many people at once.

Elon Musk
Elon Musk is the CEO of the company Tesla, a company that mass-produces electric cars for a reasonable price. They also sell solar panels to help the environment and less carbon in the air.
Eat Vegan
Eating Vegan can help reduce your carbon emissions. This is because cows and other livestock raised for meat produce greenhouse gasses.
