3 Climate change Here are some of the things they are used for. WWF’s Earth Hour 2011 PowerPoint for primary schools They are used by factories to make things. They can be used to power cars. They can be burnt to make electricity.

4 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. WWF’s Earth Hour 2011 PowerPoint for primary schools

5 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. WWF’s Earth Hour 2011 PowerPoint for primary schools

6 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. WWF’s Earth Hour 2011 PowerPoint for primary schools

7 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? WWF’s Earth Hour 2011 PowerPoint for primary schools

8 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. WWF’s Earth Hour 2011 PowerPoint for primary schools

9 Climate change: WWF’s Earth Hour It’s important that we all do our bit by making small changes to our lifestyle. However, it is also important that we tell important people like the government and big businesses that we think climate change is important.

In 2010 hundreds of millions of people from over 128 countries joined in to make the biggest statement ever about climate change. WWF’s Earth Hour 2011 PowerPoint for primary schools
