I can contibute to save our environment "Global Warming"

I can help to reduce the demand for fossil fuels which in turn reduces global warming by using energy more wisely. As follows:
  • Reuse, reduce and recycle - I use reusable bags instead of using a plastic bag. I can reduce waste by choosing reusable products instead of disposables. Buying products with minimal packaging will help to reduce waste. And I can recycle paper, plastic, newspaper, glass and aluminum cans instead of throwing it on the garbage.
  • Use less heat - Turn down the heat while I am sleeping at night or away during the day and keep temperatures moderate at all times.
  • Change a light bulb - I am practical, replace regular light bulbs with compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. Replacing a regular bulb to CFL bulbs will reduce my electric bill and help to conserve a crucial resource.
  • Drive less and save gas - Now I'm taking a bus instead of driving. I save gas and help with my budgets.
  • Use less hot water - I use low-flow showerheads to save hot water. Wash my clothes in warm or cold water to reduce my use of hot water and the energy required to produce it.
  • Switch "OFF" - Save electricity and reduce global warming by turning off lights when I leave a room, and using only as lighter as I need. I told to my daughters to switch off the light, television, video player, stereo and computer when they are not using them.
  • Plant tree - I can plant a tree at the back of my house. Last summer, I planted some flowering plant. A single tree will absorb approximately one ton of carbon dioxide during its lifetime.
  • Encourage other to conserve - Share information about recycling and energy conservation with your friends, neighbours and co-workers, and take opportunities to encourage public officials to establish programs and policies that are good for the environment.
These will take me a long way toward reducing my energy use and my monthly budget. All of us are responsible and must be aware for the global warming to save our environment. And less energy uses means less dependence on the fossil fuels that create greenhouse gasses and contribute to global warming. We must all work together to keep our beautiful earth and save our environment.
