Global warming is a dangerous thing to: people,plants, and animals. But also to the earth.Global warming is going to eventually kill the entire planet if people don't stop and think about either to throw that candy wrapper on the ground or properly dispose of it.As the pollution builds up on the atmosphere the earth is slowly dieing.The atmosphere is like a blanket, the more pollution that grows onto that blanket it gets thicker blocking the sunlight out from all objects on the planet causing it to die.But the earth needs a little pollution to keep the "blanket" at the right amount of thickness.But, If the whole entire U.S.A. eliminates pollution the "blanket" gets thinner and thinner causing to much heat to expose to us causing the world to get fried.So....Some things are biodegradable and some aren't. If you throw a biodegradable cup into a swamp or a river and leave it alone for a couple of days and then go back its would be gone. That wouldn't hurt the earth at all.But,if you threw a plastic cup,which is not biodegradable,into a swamp or a river and leave it alone for a couple of days and go back, it would still be there.That would hurt the earth.So most people wouldn't understand that by saying well if you still throw something in a pond then it hurts the earth.No,it doesn't, unless it is not biodegradable.So people please watch what you throw onto the side of the street,please recycle,and when shopping instead of using plastic bags try taking some of your own bags that aren't plastic.Even when your shopping you can look on a box and sometimes it even says biodegradable on the box itself.So please treat the earth well, because you live on it to.
