Can you circle some things in the picture above and write in the box below what may cause carbon dioxide to be released into our atmosphere?

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint Carbon Dioxide levels in our planet are changing so we need to think about our lifestyles and how we can change some of the things that we do as families to make the world a better place to live.
