Global Wanning  Wheel  Card
   Cut out the two large circles and the two
   large rectangular pieces.

   Cut out the two little rectangular windows
   on each of the large rectangular pieces.

   Put glue on the backs of both circles and
   put them together to make the "wheel"
   of the wheel card, making sure that you
   align them so that the four labels that run
   along the outside of each circle (Waste
   Disposal, Home Heating, Electricity Use,
   and Transportation) line up with the
   corresponding labels on the other side.
   The Waste Disposal label on one side
   should line up with the Waste Disposal
   label on the other side, and so on.

   Lay the rectangular piece entitled "What
   Can You Do?" upside-down on the
   table with the larger of the two cutouts
   closer to you. If you lift up the edge of
   the rectangular piece and see the words
   "Global Warming—What Can You Do?"
   right side up, you've done it correctly.

   Put the glued-together wheel on top of the
   rectangular piece, with the side that has
   all the questions (such as "On average,
   how much does your household spend on
   electricity each month?") facing up.
            Lay the other rectangular piece entitled
            "What's Your Score?" on top of the wheel,
            with the smaller of the two cutouts closer
            to you.

            Look for the "belly button" on the
            pasted-together wheel and the two large
            rectangular pieces. Push a paper fastener
            ("brad") through the "belly button" to hold
            all the pieces together.

            Glue the large rectangular pieces in all
            four corners just enough to hold the
            rectangles together but allowing the wheel
            to turn freely.

            If you wish, highlight each line  inside the
            windows in a different color to make it
            easier to read. If you have access to a color
            printer, this step will be unnecessary.

            If you are putting the wheel together to
            use in a demonstration, now you're ready
            to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions
            "score" of members of your audience and
            what they can do to reduce it.
