Global Warning

What are the Solutions?

You can help to reduce the demand for fossil fuels, which in turn reduces global warming, by using energy more wisely. Here are simple actions you can take to help reduce global warming. Let's do our own part and provide helping hand to tackle this global issue.

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

Do your part to reduce waste by choosing reusable products instead of disposables. Buying products with minimal packaging can help reduce waste. Whenever you can, recycle paper, plastic, newspaper, glass, and aluminum cans.

Use Less Heat and Air Conditioning

Adding insulation to your walls and installing weather stripping or caulking around doors and windows can lower your heating costs by 15 percent or more, thereby reducing the amount of energy you need to heat and cool your home.

Drive Less and Drive Smart

Less driving means fewer emissions, Check out options for walking, biking, carpooling to work or school. When you do drive, make sure your car is running efficiently. Every gallon of gas you save, keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

Buy Energy-Efficient Products

Home appliances now come in a range of energy-efficient models, and LED bulbs are designed to provide more natural-looking light while using far less energy than standard light bulbs. Avoid products that come with excess packaging that can't be recycled.

Tree Plantation

If you have the means to plant a tree, start planting them. Trees are an integral part of natural atmospheric exchange cycle on Earth. There are too few left to fully counter the increases in carbon dioxide caused by automobile traffic, manufacturing, and other human activities.

Encourage Others to Conserve

Share information about recycling and energy conservation with your friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Take opportunities to encourage public officials to establish programs and policies that are good for the environment.
