How to Reduce Global Warming
Posted on December 15, 2008
Right now I feel that we need to address a very important issue that will severely affect our generations to come if we don’t help to stop it now. That important issue that needs to be addressed is Global Warming.
For the people who’ve been living under a rock, global warming is the average increase of the Earth’s temperature. If that happens, there will be major changes in the climate. If the Earth is much warmer than usual, there will be changes in rainfall patterns, a rise in sea levels and a severe impact on plants, wildlife and us.
How can we as an individual help decrease the causes?
I know that you may think that “I’m just one person, what kind of impact can I do on the world?” You’re not alone, probably millions of people think the same way. You just need to know that helping to reduce Global Warming or anything else you do is done one step at a time.
Here’s a list of what you can do.
- Install compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs)
- Unplug appliances when you’re not using them
- Recycle, Recycle, Recycle
- If you work or go to school, walk or ride a bike
- If you can’t walk or bike to work or school buy a hybrid car or use public transportation
- Wash your clothes only when you have a full load
- Use recycled paper
- Buy locally made and locally grown products
- Use a push mower instead of a motor mower
- Inspire other people around you to help prevent Global Warming
This is only ten ways you can do to help prevent Global Warming. If you want to learn more ways on how you can help reduce Global Warming, below is a list of links on how you can.
