! Year 8 Homework. Autumn Term. The Smart!
We have a problem!! Climate Change Road transport accounts for 22% of total UK emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) – the major contributor to climate change. Local Impacts Vehicle use affects our whole quality of local life. Traffic can be dangerous and intimidating, dividing communities and making street life unpleasant. Abandoned vehicles cause nuisance, whilst air pollution and traffic noise can make urban living uncomfortable. Air Quality Air pollutants from transport include nitrogen oxides, particles, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. All have a damaging impact on the health of people, animals and vegetation locally. .howstuffworks.com

The piece can be in a format of your choice… •A leaflet •A chapter in your ‘project’ •A poster Its up to you!
