What You Do Counts
|
Preserving our planet isn't really all that complicated. All it takes is for each of us to do our part. It can be as simple as recycling or changing a light bulb. Or using your car less and walking or cycling more. No matter what you do, when you reduce carbon emissions, you are making a big difference in the health of our planet. National Geographic wants to make it easy for you to help. You can find information right here at PreserveOurPlanet.com, through Green Guide, on the National Geographic Channel, and each month in our magazines. Caring about the planet is what we're all about. Preserving it is what we all can do together. |

What Is Global Warming?
Our planet traps the sun's warmth through what's known as the "greenhouse effect," without which Earth's climate would be unlivable. But humans, mainly by burning fossil fuels, have released chemicals into the atmosphere that intensify this effect and have caused the planet to warm dramatically, disrupting ecosystems worldwide.
