Reasonable Way 2 Save Our Planet
August 30, 2008
Global Warming is a dramatically urgent and serious problem. We don’t
need to wait for governments to find a solution for this problem: each
individual can bring an important help
adopting a more responsible lifestyle: starting from little, everyday
things. It’s the only reasonable way to save our planet, before it is
too late.
here is the simple things that everyone can do in order to
fight against and reduce the Global Warming phenomenon:
-Plant a tree
A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. Shade provided by trees can also
reduce your air conditioning bill by 10 to 15%.
-Make your city cool
Cities and states around the country have taken action to stop global
warming by passing innovative transportation and energy saving
legislation.
-Drive carefully and do not waste fuel
You can reduce CO2 emissions by readjusting your driving style. Choose
proper gears, do not abuse the gas pedal, use the engine brake instead
of the pedal brake when possible and turn off your engine when your
vehicle is motionless for more than one minute. By readjusting your
driving style you can save money on both fuel and car mantainance.
-Buy organic foods as much as possible
Organic soils capture and store carbon dioxide at much higher levels
than soils from conventional farms. If we grew all of our corn and
soybeans organically, we’d remove 580 billion pounds of carbon dioxide
from the atmosphere!
-Switch to green power
In many areas, you can switch to energy generated by clean, renewable sources such as wind and solar.
In some of these, you can even get refunds by government if you choose to switch to a clean energy producer,
and you can also earn money by selling the energy you produce and don’t use for yourself.
-And So On /…any…
