ELECTRICITY
We use electricity everyday and thus produce
carbon dioxide exceedingly which is turning out to
be an extremely grave problem.

Water pollution can be caused by communities or
!actories dumping waste into oceans" rivers and
la#es. Waste includes things we don$t need any more
and want to throw away" such as garbage and
harm!ul chemicals. Water pollution can #ill plant
and animal li!e and can ma#e drin#ing water unsa!e.

Cars and !actories create air pollution. When carengines burn gasoline" they give o% poisons that ma#e the
air dirty. &ome o! the smo#e that comes !rom !actories alsopollutes the air. This type o! pollution is harm!ul to plantsand animals" including people. &cientists are wor#ing onways to cut bac# air pollution by inventing new carengines and new types o! !uel that produce cleaner air.
AIR POLLUTION

'ir pollution ma#es the air hard to breathe
because o! the lac# o! oxygen. It can hurt our lungs
and sting our eyes. &ometimes pollution can
wea#en or #ill trees and other plants. It can even
wear away the stone in buildings. I! this pollution
gets into the water o! la#es and streams" it canharm animal and plant li!e there.

(actories that have to use dangerous materials can use
)lters. These )lters can catch the poison be!ore they get
into the air. *angerous wastes !rom communities and
!actories don$t have to be dumped on the ground. They
can be destroyed" made harmless or cleaned and used
again. I! they are stored underground" they can be
sealed in special boxes" so they don$t lea# into soil.

+any cities in the world" have invested in air ,uality monitoring systems
that continuously measure the amount o! pollutants in the air" as well as
the sa!ety o! air in a given area. These monitoring systems and stations
may use automatic instruments or manual means.
It basically involves drawing air through various tubes with analy-ers
attached" all connected to a data center" where the readings are logged.
In an event o! rising air pollutants" signals are sent to experts. The
experts examine and analyse the data and action is ta#en by the
appropriate authorities to control the situation.

Warmer conditions ma#e most crops grow !aster but
could also reduce crops such as grains. The e%ect o!
the increased temperature will depend on the crop$s
optimal temperature !or growth and reproduction but
in some areas it may bene)t the types o! crops
typically planted there. igher carbon dioxide levels
can increase yields li#e wheat and soya beans.

owever" some !actors may counteract these potentialincreases in yield. This means that i! the temperatureexceeds the crops ideal level o! i! there isn$t enough wateror nutrients in the soil then the yield may reduce. Extreme
events such as /oods and droughts can reduce or evenharm crops. The reduction in water supplies may ma#e itmore di%icult and expensive to meet water demands. +anyweeds" pests and !ungi /ourish in warmer temperatures"wetter climates and increased carbon dioxide levels.Currently" !armers spend more than 011 billion per year to)ght weeds in the 2nited &tates. +oreover" increased useo! pesticides and !ungicides may negatively a%ect humanhealth.

The icecaps are melting3 This is because solar energy!rom the sun passes through the atmosphere. TheEarth$s sur!ace is heated by the sun and radiates theheat bac# out towards space. &ome energy is re/ectedbac# out to space while green house gases trap some o!the heat and so cause the atmosphere to warm up. Thisis why the ice caps are melting. 4y reducing theamount o! electricity you use you can save us.

The disposal o! garbage is a ma5or problem in theworld.
I! we throw it into rivers or la#es it will pollute thewater. I! we burn garbage" it will pollute the air.
I! we bury it on land it will pollute ground water andland.

Reduce the use o! things adding to garbage.
Reuse things as much as possible.

+oving water has #inetic energy. This can
be trans!erred into use!ul energy in
di%erent ways. ydroelectric power
8E:9 schemes store water high up in
dams. The water has gravitational potential
energy" which is released when it !alls.
's the water rushes down through pipes"
this stored energy is trans!erred to #inetic
energy" which turns electricity generators.

?overnments throughout the world have considered this problem and have
already ta#en action by using green energy. &ome are investing in solar
energy" wind energy and renewable energy to depress the burning o! !ossil!uels. ?overnments are currently !orcing companies to be responsible with
electricity to reduce electricity used by them. Companies are also building
more energy e%icient cars" which pollute less than be!ore.
Encourage your !amily to use the bus" train or bi#e when commuting
instead o! a car. I! we all do this" there will be less cars on road and so less
!umes.

4iomass !uels come !rom anything that once lived but now is
dead such as wood products" dried vegetation" a,uatic plants
and even some garbage. This is #nown as natural material.:lants use the &un$s energy to ma#e their !ood in a process
called photosynthesis and the !ood is stored as chemical
energy. When the plants are cut or die energy is trapped in the
residue. We can use this energy but )rst we have to release it.
This is burned to heat water in a boiler to release heat energy
8steam9. The energyApower !rom the steam is directed to
turbines with pipes. The steam turns a number o! blades in the
turbine and generators" which are made o! coils and magnets.
