Here are some of the things they are used for.
They are used by
factories to make

Climate change
• Some of the things human do can help to make climate change
even worse.
• By wasting electricity or using a car all the time we are helping to
make the world warmer.

Climate change:
Effects
• Climate change is a really
serious problem for humans
and animals.
• As the world gets warmer the
ice at the North and South
Poles could melt.
• This will make it more difficult
for the penguins and polar
bears who live on the ice to
survive.

Climate change:
Effects
• Climate change could also have other
serious effects on humans.
• A change in the climate could make it
much more difficult to grow food.
• It could also lead to changes in the
weather, making extreme weather like
typhoons and hurricanes happen more
often.

Climate change:
What can we do?
There are lots of small changes which we can make to help to
tackle climate change. Can you think of any?

Climate change:
What can we do?
Here are a few changes we could make:
• Walk or cycle instead of driving to school.
• Switch televisions and computers off instead of leaving them on
standby.
• Put on a jumper when you are cold instead of turning on the
heating.
• Make sure to recycle all plastic, paper and glass instead of
throwing it away.
• Turn off the lights when you leave a room.

However, it is also important that
we tell important people like the
government and big businesses
that we think climate change is
important.

It’s important that we all do our
bit by making small changes to
our lifestyle.

One way of doing this by taking part in WWF’s Earth Hour. On the
26th March 2011, WWF is asking everyone to switch off their lights
for 60 minutes.
In 2010 hundreds of millions of people from over 128 countries
joined in to make the biggest statement ever about climate change.

Hundreds of famous buildings
also switched off their lights in a
show of support.
Can you tell me what these
famous buildings are?

This year we want to make the
event even bigger; the world’s
largest display of hope for a bright
future.
We will be celebrating WWF’s Earth
Hour at school, but you can help by
also passing the message to your
friends and family and asking them
to get involved.
