Your appliances can use power even when they are switched o.

I you see a little red light, you are using electricity. This is called standby power.

When we do things like turn on a light,

drive in a car or watch TV, we are puttinggreenhouse gases into our atmosphere.

These gases are making the weather warmer, causing

problems or our plants and animals that need our

climate to stay the same.

Climate change is a big problem or people too,

but there are plenty o things we can do to help.

As you go through this puzzle book, keep an eye out

or the ways you, your riends and amily can

reduce greenhouse gases and help saveour environment.
