You can save the world!

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Chaange -- IPCC of U.N. has monitered and predicted the temperature of the earth's surface and the sea water and has come to the conclusion that in the Twenty First Century (2000-2100) the average temperture of the earth's surface will increase by 1.1 to 6.4 Degree Celsius, causing global warming that will result in a risk in the sea level. It is also expected that there will be drastic changes in the wether, a change in the number and frequency of aerial water droplets and agricultural products and an expansion in disease carriers. Everyone can help to alleviate the problems related to global warming by using simple methods -- energy conservation, avoiding using plastic bags, decreasing the amount of waste and the use of fuel, avoiding using instruments that contain the CFCs which cause greenhouse effect, and planting more trees.
