Introduction

The emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) in coal-burning power plants has been a dominant topic internationally. It is an important environmental issue and yet, controversial too. Many industries and manufacturing plants produce massive amounts of CO2 by burning coal.  Carbon dioxide is a main greenhouse gas that leads to air pollution.

Air pollution causes great harm to human life and our environment. It is obvious that a large portion of pollution is caused by human activities and thus continues to rapidly change the environment. The emission causes the planet to encounter different types of disasters, including climate change. It has become a major challenge of the world today because the air we breathe is contaminated. This pollution creates so many health problems and diseases which are affecting people at an alarming rate. As for scientists making noise about climate change, the better the adult discussion and concern, the quicker the children can grasp the problem, and the more likely we are able to find a solution in the future.

The goal of this unit is to inspire students by empowering them to be contributors to society on a large scale. Students are eager to be self-directed learners when they are actively engaged in real-world learning. They are able to embrace the bigger issues with confidence and communication. It enhances their development as leaders in taking action at every stage of their life.
