This unit for Millennium Development Goals, we learned about MDGs 7 and 8, which discuss the environment and humans working together. This is my poem about carbon dioxide emissions in the United States.
Did you know that currently our amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are 200 parts per million above what is considered safe? Carbon dioxide is a very serious problem all across the world. It increases the overall temperature by the Earth, which in some cases can even kill off whole species.
Carbon Dioxide emissions are covered in the 7th Millennium Development Goal. This MDG was to improve the state of the environment. One of the main issues in the environment is climate change, and the main cause of global warming is an excess of CO2 in the atmosphere. The CO2 levels have been rising exponentially for the last decade. There have been many attempts to decrease these levels in the past couple of years, though nothing has changed the high levels in the atmosphere.
One individual who is helping to decrease the levels of CO2 in the world is Elon Musk. He is the CEO and creator of the car company Tesla, which creates all electric cars. In all electric cars, the only processes that release carbon dioxide is in creating the car, which Elon Musk is already switching to electrical power in many of the factories. Musk is dedicated to helping the environment by keeping his cars from releasing emissions.
