Ways To Overcome Global Warming











WAYS TO OVERCOME GLOBAL WARMING

Global warming is a serious issue and its every individuals responsibility to ensure things do not get worse.


Firstly, we should learn to drive smartly. A well-tuned car with properly inflated tires burns less gasoline so this cuts pollution and saving us money at the pump. Better yet, skip the drive and take public transit, walk or even cycle if its a short journey.

Secondly, we can save the Earth at our own backyard by planting trees. Protecting forests is a huge step on the road to curbing global warming. Planting shade trees around our home will not only make our landscape much more nicer but it will also help us to absorb Co2 or carbon dioxide.

Besides that, we should also learn the ‘3R’ method which is Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Paper, glass and metal products made from recycled materials saves 70% to 90% of energy and pollution. Recycling a stack of newspapers only four feet high will save a good sized tree.

Furthermore, we must also do not leave electrical appliances on standby mode. Normally, teenagers like us love to watch television overnight, so once we get sleepy we will just press the ‘on/off’ button on the remote control to switch of the television. Actually, a television set that’s switched on for three hours a day and in standby mode for the remaining 21 hours uses about 40% of its energy in standby mode.

Eventhough, this advice is for housewives and our moms but it can also be practiced by some of us who loves cooking. When you are cooking make sure you cover the pot, because doing so can save a lot of energy needed for the preparation of a dish. Even better, are pressure cookers and steamers, they can save energy about 70%.

The conclusion is, we as the occupants of the world should be more caring towards the environment and create natural areas and make it more livable for today’s and tomorrow’s generation. And we should also increase awareness among local residents and the larger community about our mission to improve the Earth for future generation as well as assert the importance of environment protection and conservation.
