Welcome to Earth Week, IHS! Get ready for some important info on environmental issues and what you can do to help! In 2013, the U.S. emitted 5,500 metric tons of carbon dioxide, which when added to the atmosphere in such large quantities, increases the greenhouse effect and leads to climate changes the world over. In order to curb emissions, we need to reduce our use of fossil fuels and use more energy from clean sources! Small steps you can take are turning off lights when you leave a room; walking, carpooling or taking the bus to school; and buying locally-grown food! To start on your way to a bigger action, try finding out your carbon footprint at myfootprint.org or having an energy audit done on your house! Or come to IHS Green Team meetings Mondays after school in H-104 to make a difference in your school and community!
