　　We have learned information about global warming，whether in school，from TV programs，or by overhearing the adults around us.The pieces of information and facts are everywhere，but where on earth does global warming come from？How does it relate to our lives？And what can we do to help?

　　Let's check out The Downto-Earth Guide to Global Warming，written by Americans Laurie David and Cambria Gordon.In the book，the concept of sustainability(可持续性的概念)is compared to the love of your pet.“Even though your cat might pee(撒尿) on your bedspread or your dog might chew your favourite shoes，you still keep it.You don't throw it away.” The planet is also compared to your messy room，and CO2 and temperature “go together like peanut butter and jelly(果酱)”．

　　While a mere one degree increase in world temperature might seem small，a comparison of a popsicle(冰棒)you can lick(舔)and one you'd have to drink may make your concern for global warming grow.

　　The book，constructed from 100 percent recycled paper and printed with soy(黄豆)inks，has a chapter “What you can do to stop global warming”．There are tips you might have already known，but the book has more interesting ideas.For example，leading an unplugged(不通电的)life for a day，or considering your career ambitions in light of climate change.From hydrologist(水文工作者)to biofuel(生物燃料)engineer，they are careers that are sustainable and can be realized.
