How to Prevent Global Warming

Video Transcript

"You know because of the growing concerns of fuel costs, energy conservation and pollution, there are a number of things we can do to take action in today's world. Hi I'm Captain Joe Bruni. What we are going to talk about is basically how to prevent global warming or commonly known as going green. There's many steps we can take to reduce our emissions, reduce pollution, and reduce the amount of energy that we use every day as individuals. We can start by keeping our car in good running order and planning our trips accordingly so we run several errands in one trip, one right after the other. Another is to have a energy audit done on the home. Turning off things that use power every day. Televisions, computers, chargers and things along those lines are using power the whole time they are plugged in even when they are in the sleep mode. Those could be unplugged. Things like energy blankets around the hot water tank and using less energy overall by using the new fluorescent type of bulbs that use about one third less energy then the incandescent bulbs. And things along those lines can help reduce energy consumption and pollution. Using less gasoline to power lawn equipment, and going more with electrical power equipment would be another way. There are many ways to go green and to reduce global warming, it takes just a little bit of research and time on every individual's part to think how we can be more efficient and use less energy and reduce our emissions and pollution. I'm Captain Joe Bruni, stay safe and we'll see you next time."
