What's your carbon footprint and why is that so important???

1. What is CARBON ?
What does it have to do with
MY FOOTPRINT???
what does any of that have to do with
GLOBAL WARMING???

2. SO WHAT DOES CARBON DIOXIDE HAVE TO DO WITH
SAVING THE PLANET???
PH OTO SYNTH E S I S
6CO2 + 6 H2O + energy -> C6H12O6 +6O2

3. Global Warming Video

4. Carbon is an ATOM…
what is an ATOM?
VIDEO: Democretus
And the fundamental particle
NO MATTER HOW YOU CUT IT,
A PIECE OF CHEESE IS STILL A PIECE OF CHEESE

5. A BASIC SUBSTANCE that cannot be simplified is an ELEMENT
FLAVORS OF ICECREAM
An ATOM is the smallest unit of an element
A SCOOP: SMALLEST
AMOUNT OF ICE CREAM I CAN BUY
A MOLECULE is two or more atoms chemically joined together
A CONE: MORE THAN ONE SCOOP
OF THE SAME KIND OF ICECREAM
A molecule that contains more than one element is a COMPOUND
A SUNDAE WITH
DIFFERENT FLAVORS

6. SO HOW MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF ELEMENTS ARE THERE????

7. CARBON DIOXIDE
MOLECULE

8. Before there were plants or animals on the Earth, carbon
dioxide levels were about 80 percent of the earths
atmosphere.
But with the evolution of organisms that reduced these
levels, the Earth became a place that could sustain life.
However now, studies have shown that due to human
industrial activities have pushed carbon dioxide levels
higher than they have been in 650,000 years and likely
millions of years.
Balancing Act
Left to cope with the changing environment
the Earth has responded by changing
features of its biosphere, such as
temperature, thus resulting in global
warming.
Plants are being destroyed and the
industrial systems are steadily increasing.
This in turn increases the amount of
carbon emissions into the atmosphere

9. Fragile
Balance
Between
CARBON DIOXIDE
And
OXYGEN

10. SO MANY THINGS GIVE OFF CARBON DIOXIDE
INCLUDING:
PEOPLE
ANIMALS
PLANTS
(at night)
DECAYING
THINGS
FOSSIL FUELS
FACTORIES
