The Grade 10 English class from Dunnville Secondary School examined "What is causing Climate Change?" and then answered the question of "Is it the same Locally as it is Globally?"

The class came up with the following items for causing Climate Change:

-the burning and retrieving of fossil fuels/using non-renewable energy sources
-factory/transportation emissions
-methan emissions from animals
-clear cutting of forests/rainforests
-greenhouse gases
-politicians ignoring facts
-tobacco use
-purposely set forest fires
ABOVE ALL HUMANS!!!!!

Locally, the class decided that our community is contributing to climate change via the 2 factories in our community, the increase of water and road traffic in the summer and a number of greenhouses growing flowers all year round.  We are not, however, retrieving fossil fuels from the earth in our community.
