How can we prevent global warming?

Answer 1

run our cars less

Answer 2

THE CONCEPT – " Apple-trees "


The concept is this: On Apple's outstanding internet store, ITunes you set up the possibility to buy an "Apple-tree". This will be a non-profit project where the income goes to funding the project itself, aside from a small handling charge. (I know that this sounds bad for a commercial enterprise, but I predict that this will really establish Apple as an environmentally conscious company.)


An "Apple-tree" is an audio- and/or a video-file where (hopefully!) Al Gore will thank you for buying an "Apple-tree". He will then explain to you that by buying an "Apple-tree" you are actually buying endangered rainforests in the tropical belt around the world, which by itself is not enough to save the world but is an important contribution. Then he will give you a new tip with every purchase of an "Apple-tree", of what you can do yourself to give the earth the upper hand in the battle against oblivion. There are several enterprises today that are planting or protecting the rainforest, so Apple would mainly be the front-end marketing arm.



I predict that with your Apple's impact on society, and how the conscientious consumers want to participate; this would be a way of getting control over the situation. In the near future people would meet at work, in school, in the neighbourhood and at home to compare the number of trees they have "planted".



This is good brand-building. Apple will make even more money while you are saving the planet.



Now, doesn't that sound cool?

Answer 3

The whole topic of Global Warming is ridiculous.

You have some scientists that acknowledge it and some that don't. I think it's greatly exaggerated and Morons like Al Gore are the perfect delivery vessel for such propaganda. That snake will use anything to get himself elected or to increase his popularity with the masses. For Gore it's all about $$$.

Don't put all your eggs in Science. There still isn't a cure for AIDS but yet we definitively KNOW the planet is going to dry up.

Believe half of what you hear folks and this isn't one to believe.

I'm sure my view will arouse violent opposition, let the flaming begin...

Answer 4

You can prevent global warming by emitting less fossil fuels. Fossil fuils contain carbon dioxide, and too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere traps heat, and does not let it escape. If you walk more places, use less elecricity, and overall emit less carbon dioxide to the air (that does not include breathing!) ( oh you can plant more trees too) then we can start to prevent global warming!!!

Answer 5

Since global warming is already happening, technically, there is no possible way to prevent it, as you can't prevent something from happening that is already happening. Other than that, if people want to stop global warming we could all stop breathing...

Answer 6

Pay Al Gore's company $100 for planting a single tree that won't do anything for the environment until it's about 200 years old.

Answer 7

there is a lot of simple things you can do, like change your light bulbs, use cold water for your dishwasher and laundry, and even car pulling is good to, if you do all these things for a mouth you will lessen your carbon foot print by almost 5000 pounds of co2... pretty easy but why aren't people doing it?

Answer 8

------------------------------...
The best we can do as individuals is be more responsible ,in our own neck of the woods

Organise well publicized clean up parties ,talk on the radio
Have citizan meetings
Get the shools involved to plant trees and listen to environmental awareness talks,

If you do any cleaning up leave signs behind saying who cleaned,why and ask people not to start dumping rubbish again ,leave a hole or bins ,in case people come with trash ,

We have done a lot of comunity cleaning and if you dont leave alternatives or try to work on peoples guilt feelings (some people actually have those ,but not many)
than your efforts are a waste of time.

That is what we do in Mexico

POSITIVE ACTIONS
Print Tshirts with slogans ,hang posters all over the place (with recycled paper if possible)

Classify trash take out all the organic waste and make compost with it ,the worst you can do is throw it with the trash

70% of contamination is due to organic waste that is mixed in with the garbage .
And it is just as bad in the sewer where it helps to breed rats and in the landfill it poisons the ground

And it is the easiest to take care of
o first of all we have to clasify trash at least keep the organic to one side ,like in a plasic bin with a lid

If you got a few meters of ground ,you only need 1 or 2 square meters in a shallow hole ,in the shade ,that you can wet now and again ,where you dump everything that is organic ,from toilet paper,bones vegetable cuttings ,eggshells,,dead bodies ,excrement ,and cover regularly with leaves to keep humid and to hide any smell
the worms will come and decompose the wastes truning it into beautifull blck soil for the garden of flower pots .

If you are in a apartment ,if you have a balcony get a big plastic bin drill some holes in the side and lid ,

Add a few buckets of sand now and again to put over the trash ,you should realt stir or move the stuff at times to airate it and ensure that the decomposition is overall ,keep moist

This rubbish does not get big very fast and the thing works for a long time with out getting full
-----------------------------....
global warming cannot be stopped but we can stop helping it becoming faster,and being friendlier to out Environment cannot be bad

If you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if everyone on the planet did we we would be able to slowdown 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´population

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 9

we could all agree to stop passing gas at a certain time and hour

Answer 10

etc.
