These activities are not wrong; we just have to learn to be smart about them. For example, turn off the TV when you are done or reduce the amount of time you spend in the shower. See Be Energy Efficient for more tips.
So, what’s the big deal? Well, if temperatures continue to rise, the Earth will face many problems. As the climate changes, there may be changes in the natural environment that people depend on.

But it’s not too late! If we try, we can all do our part to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that we put into the environment.
