Get ideas for your poster:
The world’s climate is changing at a dangerous rate due to high levels of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in our atmosphere. Many GHGs, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), are naturally abundant and harmless but society produces them at such high rates that it is leading to harmful, planet-wide changes.

It may sound overwhelming, but you can make a difference! Every time fossil fuels (like oil and natural gas) are used as an energy source, GHGs are released. Every small action you take to reduce your energy consumption also helps reduce the amount of GHGs entering our atmosphere, helping your community and our planet! This is your chance to inspire other youth to fight climate change. All actions help, and every way that we can reduce our use of green house gases will help reduce the impacts of climate change.
Help our environment, inspire others to take action, get your work seen, and win some great prizes!
