In a small part, how would you help to save our mother earth from global warming.?

Answer 1

These are things I currently do to help reduce the impacts of global warming:

*Bring my own bags to the grocery stores (canvas bags are sturdy). This saves trees and reduces our dependence on plastic.

*I walk, ride my bike or take the bus wherever I travel. You may not be able to do this all the time, but if you reduce a few car trips, it still helps.

*I use energy efficient light bulbs. They cost more, but last for years and help reduce global warming.

*I use cold water when washing laundry.

*I buy toilet paper made from recycled paper with the maximum post-consumer content (80% - Earth First brand at Vons; great price, too).

*I use tree-free paper and recycled paper with a high post-consumer content.

*I don't run the water when brushing my teeth. I just turn on the faucet when wetting my toothbrush and to rinse.

*I use fans in hot weather instead of air conditioning and never use heat (unnecessary where I live). As long as no one is elderly or could be harmed from intense heat or cold in your home, fans in summer and extra layers of clothing and blankets in winter suffice in mild climates.

*I have been vegan for 15 years. It takes more resources, including water, to support a meat-based diet than a vegetarian one. I think it could help our planet if people could just try a couple of vegetarian meals a week. But, always check with your doctor before changing your diet.

*I just made a commitment this year to buying only used books. Since I love to read, I check out a lot of books from the library, but once in a while I find a book I'd like to keep. Of course books are made from paper, which comes from trees, and we need to save as many as possible.

If you want more ideas, try your local library. There have been a lot of books written about things you can do to help our planet. Don't feel overwhelmed. None of us can solve a great problem like global warming alone. Just stay positive, do what you can, one step at a time. I used to be more negative, but that was boring. When you do something, it matters because you know it helps and Mother Earth knows you care.

Answer 2

Global warming is a natural phenomenom. The effect that humans have on the process has not been causally proven. In fact, recent evidence seems to suggest that the mean temperature of the earth has reached a plateau even though so-called "greenhouse gases" such as carbon dioxide and methane have increased. So how are we "destroying our planet"???? How does "global warming" affect me? Only through my taxes when some misguided politicians think that they must spend my tax dollars chasing a ghost. Destroying our economy through such ephemeral ideas such as carbon capping to halt "global warming", especially when other nations such as China and India don't and reap the economic benefit as we go down in flames, is going to very much affect our lives. You want to make the world a better place? Work at a food pantry or volunteer for Habitat for Humanity. I personally work with the Cub Scouts and give blood and platelets to the Red Cross. Visit the sick at nursing homes. They would love the company, especially if you bring along a guitar or a book to read to them. It is best to do something yourself than to tell others they should do what you feel is best. Do you recycle? Make sure that the things you recycle actually get recycled and not dumped. That sometimes happens. Save our planet! Save our solar system! Save our galaxy! Save our universe! They all sound the same to me. Great rallying cries but otherwise impotent.

Answer 3

Stop driving a car and use Public Transportation, Change all incandescent light bulbs to fluorescent, Recycle everything. Sell off all my old appliances and get E Star Appliances. Stop using my AC and Heaters except when really needed and then only to get the temp back to the comfort zone, Turn off the AC and Heater when I'm not home and program it to activate only about fifteen to twenty minutes before I get home from work

That what I do to slow down global warming.

Answer 4

Burn all the books and shut down the news broadcast about "global warming". No one would feel any different if they weren't told everyday that the earth is warming, as todays temp is the same as it was 50 years ago.

Answer 5

The Earth is not my Mother, and you need to stop smoking that stuff and get a job. Stop living in the dark tripping out. Turn all the lights on. Go get a big SUV and to haul a 1-SEER air conditioner to your house. Install it in the dark by the light of incandescent bulbs and then go fire up the BarBQ. Invite over all your green wacko friends and tell them to shut up and eat the feast you prepared for them from the dead bodies of methane emitting cows.

Answer 6

1. recycle as much as possible
2. Compost waste that breaks down naturally.
3. take bus whenever you can
4. wash clothes in cold water. Line dry when possilbe
5. have more plants in house.
6. Turn heat down in winter, keep AC temp up in summer
7. insulate house
8. use fluorescent light bulbs
9. have a hybrid/ energy efficient car.
10. make less trips in car. If you need to do a few things, do them all at once in one trip, rather than making small trips throughout week
11. carpool
12. stop eating meat

Answer 7

the most common answer would be walk to near places instead of using vehicles.

*since in this busy world we can't stop anyone from using vehicles, I think the best solution would be --planting trees as they can absorb CO2.

*u could use eco-friendly products which are durable & harmless to u as well as the environment.

*use public transport as far as possible.

*even the CFC(a harmful chemical present inside the fridges, A.C etc..) also contribute to global warming..on our part we can use these electronic items only when necessary.

deforeastration contributes maximum. so we can form eco-clubs in schools, colonies amongst friends & relatives and stop these activities in our suuroundings..

Answer 8

I think you need to get your facts straight. "Mother Earth" won't cease to exist because of Global Warming ... YOU WILL!!

Answer 9

I'm driving a fuel efficient auto instead of a gas hogging SUV. It also saves me a pile of money.

Answer 10

Create less waste, limit human population growth.
