How to Do Your Part to Reduce Global Warming

Are you looking for ways to help reduce the effects of global warming? Here are ways to help keep our wonderful environment the way it is and stop global warming.

Instructions

1. Drive less. Whenever possible, take mass transit transportation. You can also ride or bike or walk. If you do decide to drive, go everywhere you want to go in one trip instead of making multiple trips. Try to keep your vehicle up to date to prevent excess emissions coming from your vehicle.

2. Reuse and recycle. Try to recycle everything you can. Newspaper, cardboard, glass, plastic, and aluminum are common things to recycle. Recycling helps keep these things out of the landfill. Try to buy reusable containers to store things instead of using one-time storage containers. Buy rechargable batteries instead of non-rechargable due to the toxins in batteries.

3. Use energy effifient products. Try to use energy effiecient lightbulbs and appliances. Not only do they save you money, but they do not burn as much electricity, which is made by burning coal, which makes carbon dioxide gases.

4. Use less light, hot water, heat, and air. Try to keep your thermostat at a temperature that will use less energy. Use a programmable thermostat to avoid your heat or ac running all day. Whenever you leave a room, be sure to turn off lights.
