After the trees are cut dwn and mre greenhuse gases are released, the "blanket" arund the earth, called the zne layer(臭氧层),will get thicker. This catches mre heat and makes the earth htter. Luckily, there are many things that every citizen f the earth can d t help reduce the effects f glbal warming, and it's never t late r t early fr children t take actin.

These things peple d can be direct use f fssil fuels, like riding in a gasline-pwered car, r indirect cntributins t greenhuse gases, such as eating fruit and vegetables that have t be shipped frm faraway places t reach their tables.
