Research Abstract :2 Research Abstract This project seeks to raise the public’s awareness of Global Warming. Global Warming has increased due to human interaction with the earth. The effects are only getting worse unless we take preventative measures. Help solve this problem by replacing old household appliances. Energy efficient appliances decrease annual carbon emission. Save energy, save money, and save the earth.
