More About Dioxide
Dioxide is made when we burn things. It is a part of the air. We need some, but not too much. Plants take in dioxide and give us oxygen. This is how we all help each other!
When we use cars or heat our homes, we make more dioxide. This can be bad for the Earth. We can help by using less energy and planting trees.
In the future, we can find new ways to use less dioxide. This will help keep our air clean and safe for all living things.
