OIL
The last thing the world needs is more oil. As with

other fossil fuels, our reliance on oil is fueling climate change, polluting priceless landscapes, and costing billions of dollars.

Слайд 3

Fracking
Fracking is the fossil fuel industry’s latest false solution to our

energy challenge. It’s more expensive, more polluting, and more dangerous than clean, renewable energy.

Слайд 4

Nuclear Energy
Nuclear energy has no place in a safe, clean,

sustainable future. Nuclear energy is both expensive and dangerous, and just because nuclear pollution is invisible doesn’t mean it’s clean.

Слайд 5

Coal
Coal, the most polluting of all fossil fuels, is bad news

for our health and the environment. The good news is people around the world are moving away from dirty, polluting coal in favor of clean, renewable, affordable energy.

Слайд 6

Natural gas
Natural gas emits less carbon dioxide than coal and other

fossil fuels. This has led to widespread support for replacing other fossil fuels with methane, the main component of natural gas.

Слайд 7

Plastic Pollution
The equivalent of one garbage truck of plastic enters into

our seas every minute, every day, all year long.

Слайд 8

Forest Issues and Threats
The world’s natural forests are hanging on by

a thread. In places like Indonesia, central Africa, and the Amazon, forests are being cleared to make room for livestock, replaced by monocrops plantations of like soy and palm oil, exploited for timber, and withering from the impacts of climate change.

Слайд 9

Oceans Issues & Threats
For centuries, people have assumed that our vast

ocean was limitless and immune to human impacts. It’s only recently that scientists have come to understand the devastating effects we’ve already had on our seas.
