Online Learning:
1. I learned that Carbon is very important in our everyday lives. It is the building block of life. It is found everywhere on Earth.Carbon makes the plants and the animals and Carbon is also stored in the ocean, atmosphere, and crust of the planet. A Carbon atom can spend millions of years moving through the Earth in a complex cycle. Understanding the Carbon cycle and how it is changing is key to understanding the Earth changing climate. That's why we need to understand the Carbon cycle carefully. And the issue is that, in the past two centuries, humans have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide by more than 30% by burning fossil fuels and cutting down forest. The Earth has not experience carbon dioxide levels this high for the past several million years.
I also learned that the amount of heat-trapping pollution the world spewed rose again last year by 3 percent. So scientists say it's now unlikely that global warming can be limited to a couple of degrees, which is an international goal.The overwhelming majority of the increase was from China, the world's biggest carbon dioxide polluter. Of the planet's top 10 polluters, the United States and Germany were the only countries that reduced their carbon dioxide emissions.
With all these facts, we must be alarmed about the present condition our own planet. And with the present condition of our planet Earth, we must ACT. Not later. Not tomorrow. But NOW.

Online Activities:
1. I watched a video about how important carbon in our life and the increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Online Collaboration:
1. I participated in the online discussion by applying those I learned in my life and sharing to others my knowledge about this subject matter. And I can say that just like we did in our second year, we must continue our Low Carbon Diet even it is not required in our school.
