What part are you taking in helping out with global warming?

Question

It could be carpooling, walking, taking the bus, having shorter showers.... what do you do for the ever present problem of climate change?

Answer 1

I don't eat restaurant food or anything else cooked with convential ovens and ranges, which waste tremendous amounts of energy.

Answer 2

Personally, I think my biggest contribution is to try to spread the word and influence people to recognize the problem as a serious problem and not just 'hoopla'. Only then can we influence our government(s) to take the problem seriously and implement measures accordingly. I truly believe this is the highest bang for the buck we can do as individuals. Recycling and shorter showers is nice, but I think the benefit is too limited IMHO. We need to educate the masses, thereby creating political pressures for green energy, cars, big business, etc to really have a big effect.

Answer 3

please look before repeating questions, a person posted the same thing 2 minutes ago, it's right before your question in the same section.


I recycle all used batteries, I help with collecting pop tabs for recycling into wheelchairs, i take public transpo, any land me or my family owns we try to leave as many trees on, and we try to buy out places which might be mass developed into town homes

Answer 4

We only flush every 3rd use to save water. We recycle, use curb-side yard waste pick up, composte & when driving- we mentally map out route, so we don't drive back & forth to get jobs done. We also have garden- some fruit & veggies, don't cut down our trees unless diseased or dangerous, mulch, short showers, etc, etc.

Answer 5

I don't do a thing...it's all political hoopla. Until everyone can agree that what we have is truly a castastrophic situation, why bother?
