Earth Day activities can include learning something about technology like cars that are more environmentally friendly and special houses that save energy and water．An organization called the Earth Day Network encourages people to use clean energy which doesn’t pollute the environment．Most of our energy comes from fossil fuels (化石燃料) that are found underground． Coal， oil and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels．Fossil fuels come from plants and animals that lived millions of years ago． Burning fossil fuels to create energy pollutes the air and water． Many scientists think that burning fossil fuels also increases the temperature of the earth． To reduce the use of fossil fuels． scientists are experimenting with hydrogen-powered (氢化发动的) cars． These cars don’t pollute the air like gas-powered cars．
