How to Pevent Global Warming ?

• Drive less. Take bikes, walk or carpool whenever possible.

• Consider investing in a hybrid or electric vehicle to help prevent against further global warming.

• Replace all the lightbulbs in and around your home with energy-efficient fluorescents that use fewer watts for the same amount of light.

• Clean or replace your filters monthly.

• Choose energy-efficient appliances when it's time to buy new ones.

• Decrease your air travel.

Wash clothes in cold water and line-dry whenever possible.

• Use a low-flow showerhead, which will lessen the hot water used but not drop your water pressure in the shower.

• Cut down on your garbage—buy fewer packaged materials to prevent further global warming.

• Unplug electronics when they are not in use, because they still take up energy. At the very least, turn items off when they’re not being used.

• Run the dishwasher and clothes washer only when you have a full load, and if available, use the energy-saving setting.

• Insulate your home better, and don’t forget to repair or replace worn caulking or weather-stripping. Insulate your water heater.

• Buy recycled paper products and recycle as much of your waste as possible.

• Bring your own reusable canvas grocery bags when grocery shopping.

• Plant a tree.

• Have an energy audit done on your home so you can find the trouble areas and fix them.

• Use nontoxic cleaning products.

• Shop locally for food. A farmer’s market is an excellent place to visit. And choose fresh food over frozen foods. Fresh takes less energy to produce.

• Keep your car tuned up, and check tire pressure often to save gas.

• Eat less meat and more organic foods in your diet to do your part in preventing global warming.
