What can we do .We simple people to save our planet,or to do for our lives because our planet is going down .?

Answer 1

unfortunately their are too few people in this world who care enough. The planet, is indeed, in trouble but too many people are of the opinion that "as long as its not hurting me, who cares". It would take all (or at least most) of us working together to reverse the damage we have done. All we can do is hope to slow down the destruction we are causing by less consumption of our natural resources, more recycling, less littering, using natural and bio-degradeable products as opposed to those that just sit in a landfill for centuries, and EDUCATE EDUCATE EDUCATE those around us about our destructive behaviors and ways to remedy them then hope that those people listen, pass their knowledge on and do what they can to help this planet stay alive a little longer.

Answer 2

The planet's not going down. If you believe that nonsense, then you're already too brainwashed to do any good.

Regardless of what you think, here's some starters if you want to improve your quality of life and those around you:

1) Reevaluate your tranportation methods. You don't have to sell your car and bike to work to make a difference. It could be as simple as carpooling with friends, walking to nearby places, etc.

2) Use canvas bags at the grocery store instead of paper or plastic. While it's easy to recycle paper or plastic bags, why even use them if you can bring your own? It might even motivate others to get their own reusable canvas bags.

3) Watch your electricity consumption. In this day and age of wonderfully convenient electronic gadgets, it's easy to forget and leave them on when not in use. Unless your computer must be on, turn it off. Use the sleep timer on your TV. Don't linger in front of the open refrigerator. Maybe even switch to an old-school wind-up alarm clock instead of it's electric cousin. The smallest changes in your electricity habits will not only reduce your energy requirement, but save you money on the monthly bill. You can even spend that money on new canvas grocery bags.

It's unlikely that any one person is going to save the environment overnight. But it's extremely likely that all of us, acting collectively, can improve the environment and our quality of life. The smallest of actions across millions of people can make a profound impact.

Answer 3

the first thing we should do is to make everybody realise the trouble we are in ,

looking at the answers and questions here ,i find it amazing and very scary how many people dont believe that there is a problem and /or refuse to do anything positive towards solutions .
so spreading the message is essential
inschools comunities and in the media

politicians and scientists who work for politicians have downplayed the facts because solutions are expensive and means change and change effects many peoples incomes,and most of the world is kept in the dark of the real things that are going on.

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.

SOLUTIONS
if you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if everyone on the planet did we we would be able to reverse the destructive processes

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 capture of carbon and the production of water and assist the aquiferous manta.

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.

stop building more highways,urban planning to include vegetation stop building cities encourage people to return to the land to conduct their business from there which now has become possible thanks to the internet.

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

education on environmental awareness
education on family planning to curb over´populaion

Agricultural education and improvements to follow the principals or sustainability and soil management.

more environmental or land ,design to prevent bush fires,such as--fire breaks

,more dams.regulations and control for public behaviour

alternative effeciant public transport to discourage the use of the internal conbustion engine

recicling wastes,limit water use
