How does everyday activities like driving a car and using electricity lead to global warming?

The fossil fuels from cars go into the atmosphere causing global warming

Everyday activities such as driving a car and using electricity does things such as impact a political and economic threshold as well as harm the environment. 
Driving a car releases toxic chemicals from the exhaust used to fuel the vehicle. This chemical will evaporate into the ozone layer in the Stratosphere. The ozone layer will continuously and constantly be depleted by chemicals, toxins and pollution. This will create a "hole" in the ozone layer. 
The ozone layer's main purpose is to act as a filter for the sun's UV rays. Long exposure to UV rays can result in external and even internal illness such as skin cancer, early skin aging, and immune suppression. The ozone's  "filter" diminishes from the chemicals and toxins released by humans on earth. This makes it harder for the ozone layer to filter and lessen the effects of the sun's harmful UV rays. This will cause global warming as the thickness of the ozone layer consequently thins out due to pollution caused by humans.

I hope that this helps and answers your question. If you need any other questions answered feel free to ask. Have a great day and take care.
