Any suggestions on how I can help the earth?

Question

Other than recycling!

Answer 1

Keep native plants around your area, either a garden or potted. As long as they are plants naturally found in your state.

Answer 2

well pick up trash daily and keep oils and other harming products away from storm drains and drains that go to the bay without cleaning the water.

also do not drive or smoke, and take your car to the car wash instead of washing it at home, the oil and other gas products can harm wildlife. Plus when you grow your plants, don't use to much fertilizers because if it combines with water and goes into storm drains, that can harm wildlife and the earth. And check your car monthly for gas leaks and other problems. Asking and joining cleanup crews or ask experts will make a big difference.

Answer 3

Car pool whenevere possible. Do all your errand running at one time to save on emmissions.
Don't litter and pick up what you can.
Use earth friendly products when possible.
Make your own mulch with your own garbage and clippings.
Don't use a power mower to mow your lawm. The old push type are back.
And always recycle.

Answer 4

here are a few

Global warming is in theory reversable,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen,

At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where.

However
Almost all governments in the first world and many others who deal with them,are already working on this for a long time ,
In Mexico many farmers are being persuaded Agro forestall farming which includes trees ,like shade grown coffee

and many countries like Germany and the USA ,for example have made heavy commitments to reduce carbon emissions
Countries like Australia ,Denmark,USA and South Africa to name but a few are spending a lot on alternative energies ,

but all of this is still far to slow
greed to further exploit the petrolium business prevents fast positive advancement

SOLUTIONS
if you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if EVERYONE on the planet did this, we would be able to reverse the destructive processes,and start creating more biomass again.

reduce carbon emisions,and they are already working on that by alternative forms of energy and regulations on carbon producing materials,aerosol cans,burning rubbish,industrial chimneys,powerplants etc.

the world bank pays large subsidies for reforrestation to capture carbon and the best tree for this is the Pawlonia

Waterharvesting projects ,such as millions of small dams.to redirect over ground waterflows from the rains into the ground to supply subteranian water supplies.

the protection of existing forrests.and the production of water

education to motivate people to auto sufficiency by building more home food gardens.

education on environmental awareness
