How to Prevent Global Warming
Global warming is something that is affecting everyone on a daily basis. However, it is our children and grandchildren that will suffer the most. These are just some of the many things that you can do to help prevent global warming. Just as mankind has the power to destroy the planet, we have the power to save it.
Another thing you might want to remember is that cutting down on your carbon emissions and the like will save you personally a lot of money. Global warming is acting a lot faster than it was originally expected to- you might be affected by it as well. Therefore you'll benefit by conserving energy, too.
1. Get Educated :
Educate yourself about Global warming. You won't be able to tell other people about it if you don't have knowledge of the topic yourself!
2. Recycle more :
15-25% of people don't recycle. Try to recycle more. If you don't have a recycling bin, go to you nearest recycling center and ask where you can get one.
3. Act Collectively :
Acting individually is not enough to solve this global problem. We must bring pressure to bear on power holders and decision makers in government to promptly and decisively act on the national and international levels to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
4. Use Compact Fluorescent Bulbs:
Replace 3 frequently used light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. Save 300 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $60 per year.
5. Keep your Car Tires Inflated :
Keep the tires on your car adequately inflated. Check them monthly. Save 250 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $840 per year.
6. Change Your Air Filter :
Check your car's air filter monthly. Save 800 pounds of carbon dioxide and $130 per year.
7. Fill the Dishwasher :
Run your dishwasher only with a full load. Save 100 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $40 per year.
8. Use Recycled Paper :
Make sure your printer paper is 100% post consumer recycled paper. Save 5 lbs. of carbon dioxide per ream of paper.
9. Buy Products Locally :
Buy locally and reduce the amount of energy required to drive your products to your store. The consumable products we all purchase represent over half of the average family's carbon footprint!
10. Spread the Word:
There is a logo called CarbonCounted that companies can put on their products to communicate their carbon footprint. Look for products that have a low CarbonCounted footprint number.
11. Buy Energy Certificates:
Help spur the renewable energy market and cut global warming pollution by buying wind certificates and green tags.
12. Buy Minimally Packaged Goods:
Less packaging could reduce your garbage by about 10%. Save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide and $1,000 per year.
13. Buy a Hybrid Car :
The average driver could save 16,000 lbs. of CO2 and $3,750 per year driving a hybrid. Plug-in hybrids can save even more and give cash-back
14. Buy a Fuel Efficient Car:
Getting a few breathe. Save 2,000 lbs. of carbon dioxide per year.
15. Insulate Your Water Heater :
Keep your water heater insulated could save 1,000 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $40 per year.
16. Replace Old Appliances:
Inefficient appliances waste energy. Save hundreds of lbs. of carbon dioxide and hundreds of dollars per year.
17. Weather Strip your Doorways :
Caulk and weather strip your doorways and windows. Save 1,700 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $274 per year.
18. Use a Push Mower:

19. Unplug Unused Electronics :
Even when electronic devices are turned off, they use energy. Save over 1,000 lbs of carbon dioxide and $256 per year.
20. Grow Fast Growing Plants:
Plants like bamboo grow faster and produce 35% more oxygen than trees like oak or birch.
21. Take Public Transportation :
Some new buses are even hybrid already!
22. Ride a Bicycle :
Funny how this never gets mentioned. Everyone looks for a high-tech solution when one already exists! It wasn't on this list.
