SOME TIPS - TO STOP GLOBAL WARMING
Here are 10 simple things we can do and how much carbon dioxide can be saved by doing them.
- Change a light :
- Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
- Drive less :
- Walk, bike, carpool or take mass transit more often. You'll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don't drive!
- Recycle more :
- You can save 2.400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste.
- Check your tires :
- Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere!
- Use less hot water :
- It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low flow showerhead (350 pounds of CO2 saved per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds saved per year).
- Avoid products with a lot of packaging :
- You can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%.
- Adjust your thermostat :
- Moving your thermostat just 2 degrees in winter and up 2 degrees in summer you could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple adjustment.
- Plant a tree:
- A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.
- Turn off electronic devices:
- Simply turning off your television, DVD player, stereo, and computer when you're not using them will save you thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
- Spread the word !!!
We need to Think seriously about Global Warming and help in all the ways to SAVE EARTH and the Human Life.
