When I was researching for this essay explaining what soil and water conservation means to me‚ I found two quotes that really stuck out to me. One written by Franklin D.

The greenhouse gases and the resulting greenhouse effect are important. If the greenhouse gases were not present in the atmosphere‚ our Earth would be an icebox. We would have climate similar to that in Mars. The average temperature on Earth would have been about -18 degrees Celsius‚ which is below the freezing point of water. If this was the Earth’s temperature‚ there would hardly be any liquid water on Earth and life as known today would not be possible. Therefore the greenhouse effect is important
