What can I do to decrese global warming?

Question

After watching "An Inconvineent Truth" by Al Gore, I want to do all I can.

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

1. Recycle most if not all your trash because most of it is recyclable say like paper, plastic, Steel, Aluminum soda cans, Your old old magazines and junk mail, Glass. 2. Help spread the word about Environmental Issues by buying magazines that talk about solar power, Permaculture, Alternative Energy, Building Green, here are some magazines you may be able to find, Sierra, Orion, Solar today, Dwell, ecologist, Home power and there are many others. Take the magazines that about the environment like those to your Doctor's or Dentist office and leave them in the waiting room. 3. You could buy only organic Food and Groceries but that is up to you. 3. Sign the petition to help stop Global warming at www.StopGlobalwarming.com

Answer 3

You should definiely start by getting a more balanced view of global warming than such a horribly biased, politically and financially motivated film.

As to the question, if you want to reduce the amount of CO2 you produce, turn lights off unless they're totally necessary, walk or cycle instead of driving, plant a few trees... as an individual it's very difficult to have any impact, but every little can help.

Answer 4

First of all, I hope you know Al Gore himself wastes a lot of energy. If you want to save money, ride a car less and use public transportation. Take shorter showers. Turn of the lights after you leave a room, youll be amazed at how many people Ive seen who are too lazy to do even that. Find ways to reuse things. I know these things are small, but if everyone does a little, a huge difference can be made.

Answer 5

Al Gore is an idiot.

If you want to stop global warming, you will first need to address the massive amount of pollution caused by china.

Answer 6

you could cut down the use of your electricity....when the suns out turn off your lights....travel by a bike or horse like the olden days to save gas fuels...dont water ur lawn just let the rain do that!!! encourage all ur neighbors and friends cuz most likely one person cant change the world...but u can make an effect on it to make it better!!!

Answer 7

Put water in the underground spaces.
The human overpump the water reserves and it makes hot the ground . That is the reason of increasing of atmosphere temperature and as it decrease the vegetation growing , it decrease the recycling of co2.
So water the continents with runoff water.
Like i do it with my canals

Answer 8

When showering simply wet yourself, then turn of the water, wash-soap all over (& use a wet cloth) then, when clean and ready, turn the water back on to rinse.

Saves Lots of energy if everyone does it, including the "sarcaustic" people above.

Answer 9

Why?

Who can really say that global warming is bad?

Some areas may suffer, but many others will benefit.

Answer 10

Write AlGore a letter and ask him why his home consumed more than 20 times the electricity of the average American home last year.
