Tell me one thing I can change to help prevent Global Warming?

Answer 1

Here is an unusual idea: Drive less & when you buy gas, do not buy from a major gas station. If you continue to buy from a gas Leader, you continue to support them. The fact is that we all still need to buy gas. As long as this is true, why don't we at least try not to suppoer the largest gas companies.
Best of Luck!

Answer 2

Get a more fuel efficient car this may not be a hi-bred though "this is determined buy where you live and how you drive the more weight you put in a hi-bred the more gas it will use the more hills you have the more gas and the more highway miles you drive the more gas" do your homework and find all the answers before you buy. Slow down to 55 when you drive and turn off your air-conditioners. The next item turn off you air-conditioners when you are not at home set your therm. a little higher in summer and a little lower in winter. Recycle all your products buy local foods natural fiber clothing, Go solar and don't stop breathing. Take fewer and shorter trips and take someone else with you that needs to go the places you are going.

Unfortunately there is not one thing that you can do to help prevent Global Warming that will really help prevent Global Warming due to human activity and the release of greenhouse gases..

To prevent Global Warming due to human activity would require that we shut down our economy completely. All transportation that requires any form of mechanical energy would need to be banned.

All generation of electricity would need to be banned. All uses of fossil fuels such as natural gas, and home heating oil would need to be banned.

Even heating your home with wood needs to be banned. Wven though wood is a renewable resource, it sequesters carbon until it is burned.

Unfortunately there are no easy things that you can do to prevent Global Warming due to human activity and the release of Carbon Dioxide or any other greenhouse gases.

The easy things that you hear about such as turning off the lights in a room when you leave,buying a hybrid car and recycling are largely good Public Relations activities to build up awareness of the topic, however the results of those types of activity are too small to prevent Global Warming due to the release of greenhouse gases as a result of human activity.

Answer 4

Your Air Conditioners and Refrigerators are a prime source of Global warming. You can switch them off for a day or whenever possible to help reduce Golbal warming.

Answer 5

Change your light bulbs from the regular kind to the energy saving spiral shaped kind. Also, email your congressmen asking them to support measures to reduce global warming.

Answer 7

Waste less.

Waste less power, less water, recycle to reduce house waste, compost to reduce house waste as well. Overall just waste less in life. The plus side being that wasting less saves you money if you pay for utilities, and we all love saving money.

If you want another thing to do beyond wasting less, the next most important thing you can ever do is vote, put people in power that can do more than just one person.

Answer 8

Buy flourescent lightbulbs for your home. Not only will you be working to protect the environment, you will save beaucoup bucks on your electric bill. It takes less energy to excite the gasses in the flourescent bulbs than it does to excite the solid tungsten filaments in regular lightbulbs, and more of the energy that is used is converted to light, rather than heat

Answer 9

One day of the week ride your bike to somewhere ( have it be school, work, lunch, etc.) and it would reduce. Recycle, or buy a hybrid car. You don't need to go buy one now, but when you do need a new car buy a hybrid.
I hope this helped!

Answer 10

Take cold showers. Ride bikes and scooters places instead of smoke sputing cars and buses. Don't litter. Recycle.
