Carbon dioxide emissions greatly affect nature. The effects on

humanity, if no action is taken, could be devastating. The earth
will no longer be able to follow its natural cycle of cooling, which
will lead to higher temperatures. Thus the days of honeysuckle
will multiply, the fires of vegetation, numerous species of plants
and animals will disappear and regions on the planet may
become uninhabitable.
The diagram of the methane consumption of a family that uses a gas stove and the
methane gas boiler.

In a year, a family consumes 2,216m3 of

400
V methane methane gas which, by combustion,
350 turns into carbon dioxide that pollutes the
300 air. If each family were to opt out of using
250
methane gas in the landfill, the air would
be cleaner with 2,216 m3 of carbon

Let's stop using the appliances that run

on methane gas and use those that use
electricity, green energy: solar panels to
heat the house and get hot water, electric
ovens.
CONCLUZII:

If only one family releases in the atmosphere

2,216m3 CO2 / year, but millions of families in the
world?
