| Global Warming-10 ways you can help reduce and slow it down. | ||
| Want to do something to help slow down and stop global warming? Here is a list of 10 very easy ways you can help to stop global warming. Each point also has the amount of carbon dioxide you can help prevent 1. Change a light. Use fluorescent light bulbs instead of regular light bulbs. If you change 6 regular bulbs with fluorescent bulbs you can reduce carbon dioxide by about 400kg per year. 2. Less driving and more exercising. Leave the car at home and walk, bike or use public transport. You can save about 1.5 kg of carbon dioxide for every 5km that you dont drive. 3. Recycle more. Recycling just half your household waste will reduce carbon dioxide by 1000 kg per year. 4. Correct Tyre inflation. If you must use your car then make sure your tyres are correctly inflated to improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide by 2.5 kg per litre of petrol. 5. Use less hot water. Reduce carbon dioxide by nearly 225kg per year when you use cold water to wash your clothes instead of hot water. 6. Less packaging. You can save 545kg of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%. Buy items with less packaging. Reduce the amount of packaging by 10% and save 545 kg of carbon dioxide per year. 7. Change your thermostat settings. Increasing your settings by 2 degrees in summer and reducing by 2 degrees in winter could save up to 900 kg of carbon dioxide per year. 8. Plant trees. Every tree you plant can absorb up to one tonne of carbon dioxide over its life time. 9. Turn off electrical devices. How often do you leave your computer, DVD, stero or television on whilst during something else? Turn them off when not using them and save thousands of kilograms of carbon dioxide per year. 10.
