There are many things individuals can do to reduce their carbon emissions and reduce the impact of global warming. Living in a tent, travelling by bike and stopping breathing are three steps that could be taken. There are less drastic measures.

FUEL EFFICIENT VEHICLE
Driving a more fuel-efficient vehicle makes a big difference. Each gallon of gasoline burned produces 10kg (20 pounds) of carbon dioxide [C94]. A motorist driving 15,000 miles a year will produce 7500kg of carbon emissions by driving a 20mpg vehicle whereas a vehicle returning 30mpg will produce 5000kg, 2½ tons less each year plus a reduced fuel bill [S12].

DRIVING ECONOMICALLY
You can improve your vehicles fuel efficiency by as much as 30%. Drive gently avoiding harsh braking and sudden accelerating, drive at a steady speed, keep tyres correctly inflated, don’t carry excess weight, use the correct gear, use cruise control, remove bike and ski racks when not in use, keep your vehicle serviced, turn the engine off when stopped or waiting [C95].

DRIVE LESS
Walk or cycle short journeys – no fuel emissions, healthier and saves money. Stagger journeys where possible to avoid rush hour traffic and hold ups. Use public transport.

HOME ENERGY EFFICIENCY
When replacing appliances buy energy efficient ones [M7], turn off electrical appliances when not in use, don’t use the standby option. Use energy efficient light bulbs and switch off when not in use.

Wash clothes at a lower temperature, modern machines and detergents are just as effective at lower temperatures. Dry your clothes outdoors instead of in a tumble drier. Wash in full loads at a time.

Insulate your home and block draughts around doors and windows. In the UK this is free to many people.

Turn your heating and air conditioning down. A 1°C difference will be barely noticeable but will produce a substantial saving in terms of energy used.

Buy electricity generated from renewable sources and consider installing a renewable energy system to lower your electricity costs and reduce pollution.

Use rechargeable batteries; don’t leave rechargers on for longer than is needed.

Buy local food where possible, much food is flown or shipped half way around the world before it reaches us.

Recycle waste and avoid buying products with excessive packaging. Sign up with mail preferential services to stop junk mail.

Don’t have your fridge and freezer set lower than they need to be, regularly defrost your freezer, don’t put hot food into your fridge or freezer.

CLIMATE ENGINEERING
Ambitious schemes have been proposed that would manipulate our climate including the building of a giant sunscreen to block out the sun’s heat and artificial trees to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. If these schemes are successful they could prevent global warming from getting worse may be reverse the warming trend.

Answer 2

There is no such thing as global warming. The increase of "foreign" gases in the atmosphere are related to the varying strength of the Sun. All of the planets in the solar system have seen a "warming" recently. Is that because residents of these planets drive cars and have factories? I think not. In the 1960s scientists predicted an inevitable ice age in the coming years. Meteorologists can't get the weather right a week in advance, but scientists can predict catastrophic events in the next 50 years. Write your paper about some of the things I've mentioned.

Answer 3

Simple answer >> switch to the electric car! Then ask yourself and others: Why did BIG OIL STOOGE Al Gore help destroy the move to the electric car in the early 90s?? Because BIG OIL can't make any $$$ off of an electric car! When he initially ran for Vice President in 1991, he promised over and over that the VERY FIRST thing he would do as Vice President was to get a panel of experts in every field to explore alternative energy sources, and the dirty lyer never did in eight years! He's a filthy Globalist Lyer who works for big bankers and industrial polluters who dominate the UN. All they want is the Earth Charter and Agenda 21 for political domination purposes only. Why aren't they interested in DEPLETED URANIUM, the biggest eco-nightmare of all time???

Answer 4

1.) Stop using cars as much (gas reasons)
2.) Turn off lights, when unneeded (to reduce Co2)
3.) Don't litter (if you see some, pick it up)
4.) Only use water when needed (take shorter showers)
5.) Don't waste paper (don't cut down trees)
6.) Stay updated on the World

Answer 5

This was posted on Yahoo this morning as a link inside a news story about how trees are growing on the frozen tundra of the Artic. They are saying that the trees are creeping onto the tundra due to the warming and melting of the frozen tundra.

It might help you...

Answer 6

You couldn't find anything on Global Warming?

OMG.

Answer 7

walk to school
shut off cell phones , lights and tvs when no in use
use energy saving light bulbs, shower head and toilets
car pool
wear a sweater rather than turning up the heat

you looked on line?? you have to be kidding - it is everywhere

Answer 8

First step: Shut down fossil fuel power plants and replace them with solar, nuclear, geothermal, etc.

Second step: Make hydrogen-powered cars.

Answer 9

Drive a hybrid car.
Ride a bicycle when possible.
Recycle
Stop having so many babies
Install solar panels

Answer 10

I think less flatulence will help since Methane and SO2 gases causes global warming ....
