There are ways you can help cut greenhouse gases and help stop global warming. They are simple things, but can make a difference if everyone does them!
. Recycle glass bottles, jars, newspapers and magazines and tin cans. Save them and take them to local recycling centres.
. Re-use plastic shopping bags and envelopes, don't get new ones.
. Persuade your mum or dad (or whoever does the gardening) to have a compost heap.
