2. Did you know that over 7 billion tones of CO2 is released in to the earth’s
atmosphere every year through using fossil fuels like oil, coal and gas.
All gases stay in the atmosphere for a certain length of time, for CO2 this is between 50

It also means that CO2 emitted into the atmosphere today could cause global warming
for up to two centuries to come.
