How 2 Reduce Global Warming

Reduction in Electricity Usage:

There are several things you can do directly after reading this document. However, some of the actions that we must all take a slight decrease in your current standard of living.

First, since most of the electricity in the United States is produced by burning coal, we should try to cut down on our electricity demand. (See chart No. 4) coal creates the largest quantity of CO2 per unit of energy of a fossil fuel. Coal and oil together represent 80% of the U.S. supply of fuel used to generate electricity. When we reduce the use of electricity, we save money, breathe cleaner air, and to help reduce the problem of global warming. Every kilowatt-hour of electricity saved retains 1.5 to 2 kilograms of CO2 from the atmosphere. Americans waste more energy than any other country. I think it is time to take our lives, factories, houses and more efficient. Look around at home and in your workplace, and there are many ways in which you can reduce the use of electricity. For example, planting trees on the south side of your home where they can provide shade during the hot summer months. Also, installing a thermostat for energy efficiency, with a timer day and night.

Reduce the use of Automobiles:

reduce the use of your car. If you can \ 't afford to buy a new car fuel-efficient in the coming years, consider selling or junking your gas demanding and buying a smaller car, effectively used car. In addition to saving money on gas, oil, tires, parts and repairs, you can help reduce greenhouse gases. In addition, regardless of the vehicle type, remember to function effectively, try to carpool to work or ride the bus, keep your car tuned up, walk or ride your bike for short distances, and the park on foot are not using \ "Cross" services.

The global fleet of motor vehicles is estimated at 830,000,000 (2006).
The global fleet of motor vehicles has been recently growing at the rate of 16,000,000 per year.
Motor vehicles (cars, trucks, buses, and scooters) account for 80% of all transport-related energy use.

Recycle things after Usage:

Try to follow the aftermath of the environmental policy of \ "Reduce Reuse .... ..... Recycle. \ "Reuse of all is the easiest and the best way to recycle. Save containers, bags, anything you can use in the future. Also, the use of toilet and cloth napkins instead of paper, and the use of rechargeable batteries instead of disposable ones.

In addition, you can reduce the need to recycle paper down on junk mail lists. Why trees should be destroyed for messages that you do not even want to receive? In addition, always remember that recycling is only effective when you purchase products made from recycled materials. Otherwise, what's the point of recycling?

Also, remember that every time you make a purchase, you either strengthen poor product, or you encourage a good thing. I think people should try to buy quality products that can be used for a long time, buy products with minimal packaging and not buy disposable products. We certainly have to make up our minds that our success as an individual must not be based on the quantity of our consumption, or the quality of our natural environment.

I think it is time to revisit our moral values. To examine our attitudes with regard to our natural world. Each of us must ask the question: What makes us really happy? What makes us feel safe? It is very questionable if the money and other items make us happier, it is even possible that we tend to be less satisfied with our life \ 's where we have a lot of money and other maintenance . Our research has increasingly materialistic consumption caused us to forget that we are living human beings? We must realize that we have much more in common with plants, animals, air and water that we have with the mechanical, chemical and electronic world, we have created around us.

Reduction in Green House Gases:

Even if we stopped emitting greenhouse gases (GHGs) today, the Earth would still warm by another degree Fahrenheit or so. But what we do from today forward makes a big difference. Depending on our choices, scientists predict that the Earth could eventually warm by as little as 2.5 degrees or as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
A commonly cited goal is to stabilize GHG concentrations around 450-550 parts per million (ppm), or about twice pre-industrial levels. This is the point at which many believe the most damaging impacts of climate change can be avoided. Current concentrations are about 380 ppm, which means there isn't much time to lose. According to the IPCC, we'd have to reduce GHG emissions by 50% to 80% of what they're on track to be in the next century to reach this level.
