Global warming

Thesedays, we cannot feel problems spring and fall because of global warming. It has become more and more seriously and has many problems such as melting glaciers, hot spring and strange changes of ecosystem.
First, what can we do for preventing this situation? I'll give you some methods. In our daily lives, we should try to lessen tie usage of carbon dioxide that gets omitted. Actually carbon dioxide is one of the most harmful global warming cause. Here are some methods that can lessen the usage of carbon dioxide. First of all, reduce the using of cars. A car exhausts much carbon dioxide. If you try to go walk when you go a little way, use a public trasportation and practice car pool system, you can lessen the usage of carbon dioxide. Secondly, plant plants. As you know, plants release oxygen and absorbcarbon dioxide. So if there are many trees or flowers, yo can breathe fresh air. Also global warming can be stopped because there are less carbon dioxide. Thirdly, do not burn something. In smoke, there is also lots of carbon dioxide. If you burn something undesigndly, the carbon dioxide can cause serous global warming. So, do not burn trashm paper even food.
Then, what should goverment do for preventing to become hot earth? First of all, lay a heavy tax on an environmental offender like the people using a car evetyday without special reasons and a stock farmer who do not dispose of stock's waste. If the goverment enforce this law, environmental offenders will disappear. Secondly, develop natural resources to lessen the using of fossil fuel. When we use fossil fuel, many harmful gases come out.If the social success to develop great natual resource that can replace fossuk fuel, not only people can make a lot of money but also contribute to global environment. Thirdly, do not carry out the development that has a possibility of destroy environment. When geverment officials build an dam or big public building, many trees die and many trashes come out. It can be a big cause of global warming.
In conclusion, both citizen and goverment have to try to stop global warming. Already we can feel the problems of global warming. So, if we effort later, it will be late. Please start efforting from now and oneself.

Summary
These days, many people are interested in building green, one of the example of sustainable development. Building green has many advantage. First of all, it let the sunshine inside and the sunshine makes light, heat and even electricity. Secondly, it has a garden in the sky and the garden keeps the building cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Thirdly, it has a special drainage system that makes people reuse water and use rainwater. So the am0unt of water we used is reduced. Lastly, it is made of green material like bamboo which grows gast and recycled materials. Because of these reasons, the number of green building is increasing. As a result we will be healthier and green by living these buildings.

Comment
I agree with this report saying "the number of green buildings is on the rise." Because I could I could feel advantages of building green in every day life. For example, my fther's company has garden that has grass trees flowers and benches. When I went there in summer, I felt there was so cool and looked good as well. Secondly, my grand parent's house in the country, has sollar cells on the roof so electric fare is low and warm in winter. I know the fact that there are many other advantages of building green. Surely people want this good building so the number of green buildings is increasing until all the is changed into eco-friendly building. I hope my house and my school can also be changed into eco-friendly building.
