Global Warming can be reduced at our personal levels by doing the following things:
1) Usage of Fluorescent Bulbs: These compact fluorescent bulbs help to reduce the level of carbon dioxide usage. It saves about 300 lbs of carbon dioxide and approximately dollar 60 a year.
2) Check your car’s air filter monthly. This will save 800 lbs of carbon dioxide.
3) Usage of Recycled Paper: Stress on the usage of recycled paper. This saves about 100 lbs of carbon-dioxide and almost dollar 40 a year.
4) Install a Low-Flow Showerhead: Usage of less water in the shower means less energy to heat the water. This helps to save 350 lbs. of carbon dioxide and dollar 150 a year.
5) Take Shorter Showers: Taking shorter showers can save 350 lbs. of carbon dioxide and dollar 99 per year.
6) Thermostat should be adjusted: Move your heater thermostat down two degrees in winter and up two degrees in the summer. Save 2000 lbs of carbon dioxide and dollar 98 per year.
7) Buy Energy Certificates: Help spur the renewable energy market and cut global warming pollution by buying wind certificates and green tags.
8) Plant a Tree: Trees suck up carbon dioxide and make clean air for us to breathe. Save 2,000 lbs. of carbon dioxide per year.
9) Unplug Un-Used Electronics: Even when electronic devices are turned off, they use energy. Save over 1,000 lbs of carbon dioxide and $256 per year
10) Bring Cloth Bags to the Market: Using your own cloth bag instead of plastic or paper bags reduces waste and requires no additional energy.
Among other actions that can be taken are:
Start a Club: Start a global warming club at your locality or with your friends or your next door neighbors and set goals to curb your energy use.
Speak Out: Run for global warming platforms. Place your views about what you are doing to curb global warming emissions.
