Dear future self,

Remember that the greenhouse gas effect works by allowing the sun’s rays to enter the Earth’s atmosphere but keeps the heat from escaping back into space. Going with that factor, I promise that I will be walking more often to help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide I emit into the atmosphere and eating less meat (even though I love fried chicken!). Co2 is emitted into the air when the burning of fossil fuels for heat, electricity, and transportation takes place. This years average temperature is 59.8 degrees F. Hopefully this number will stay roughly the same. Also, I hope that everybody will catch on to what I am doing and help save the world from climate change little by little!
