Stop Global Warming Save Earth

Here are 10 simple things you can do to stop or prevent global

Warming

1. Change a light : Replace regular bulbs with compact fluorescent light

(CFL) bulbs. They consume less power then ordinary bulbs and have

longer lifetime. Some countries have completely banned the usage of

ordinary bulbs and force the common public to use CFL bulbs.

2. Drive less : By driving less you are not only saving fuel but also

helping in reducing global warming. Also, look out for other

possibilities, for eg: car pooling. If you have colleagues who live in the

same area then you can combine trips. If you need to go to a local

market then either walk or go by cycle. Both of them are great form of

exercise.

3. Recycle more : Try to use the disposable products into some other

form. Just don’t throw them away. You can recycle almost anything

4. Check your tyres : When you drive make sure your tyres are

inflated properly. If not, then obviously they will consume more fuel.

Keep your engine properly tuned and drive less aggressively.

Aggressive driving and frequent applying of brakes hampers the

engine and can lower the mileage of your car.

5. Use less hot water : Buy energy saving geysers and dishwasher for

your home. Avoid washing clothes in hot water. Just wash them in

cold or warm water. Avoid taking frequent showers and use less hot

water. It will help in saving energy require to produce that energy.

6. Avoid products with lot of packaging : Just don’t buy products with

lot of packaging. When you buy such products you will end up in

throwing the waste material in the garbage, which then will help in

filling landfill sites and pollute the environment. Also, discourage

others from buying such products.

7. Adjust your thermostat : Geysers consume lot of electricity. Use the

thermostat to lower down the temperature. The easiest and most cost

effective advice is simply adjusting your thermostat up in the summer

and down in the winter.

8. Turn off electronic devices : Turn off electronic devices when you

are moving out for a couple of days or more. Unnecessary usage of

electronic appliances will not only save fuel i.e. coal by which we get

electricity but also increase the lifetime of your gadgets.

9. Plant a tree : Planting trees can help much in reducing global

warming then any other method. They not only give oxygen but also

take in carbon dioxide, during the process of photosynthesis, which is

the main source of global warming.

10. Spread the awareness : Always try your best to educate people

about global warming and it’s causes and after affects. Tell them how

they can contribute their part by saving energy that will be good for

the environment. Gather opportunities and establish programs that

will help you to share information with friends, relatives and

neighbours.
