How to Reduce Global Warming !!

                    Global warming already disrupts millions of lives daily in the forms of destructive weather patterns and loss of habitat.

               We all know that the burning of massive quantities of fossil fuels has destabilized the carbon cycle, since we are emitting every year approximately 20 billion tons of carbon dioxide more than what ecosystems and oceans can absorb.
               These contribute to thicken the layer of heat-trapping gases around the Earth, and warm its climate. Reducing this carbon and greenhouse gas emissions will not only make your personal living space more sustainable but it will also save money in both the short- and long-term.
                   We might not realize it ,but we can stop global warming with simple steps every day.This post outlines some ways that we can act to help prevent the Earth from warming further. While humankind has the ability to destroy the planet, we can also help protect and sustain it.

• Few steps to prevent the Earth from Global warming ...

• Reduce Your Driving  :  Driving - auto emissions - is one of the three major causes of CO2 release. We are used to buying large, luxury cars, and driving them whenever the whim strikes. We can still drive large cars - but we must drive them less, and opt for the smaller car, or trade them in for hybrids.

• Buy Renewable Electricity : Try to use renewable energy sources like – solar, wind, water or biomass .

• Buy Recycled :  Check the packaging of items you buy and make sure you get recyclable materials – for plastics, #1 or #2 is best. Make sure you help close the circle by buying recycled goods. There are high quality consumer paper goods that are 100% recycled, and demand that food companies and others start using recycled plastic as well.

• Use Less Plastic :  Plastic requires oil, and that means CO2 to produce. Because it does not biodegrade, plastic use is not sustainable.  Don't use disposable water bottles, use canvas shopping bags instead of plastic grocery bags, and generally be on the lookout for packaging and other items that put excess plastic into the environment.

• Turn It All Off And Unplug :    Remember to shut off lights, electronics, appliances and all things electric when not in use. Leaving lights on of course uses electricity, which results in CO2 emissions. But keeping things plugged in also pulls current.

               Remotes, clocks, timers and other little features continue to use electricity even if you have shut off your unit. Unplug toasters, televisions, computers and printers, and any other items until you need to use them. And remember, even if you install compact fluorescent light bulbs, if they’re not off, they’re emitting CO2!

• Buy Local :   When you buy local goods, you are reducing the overall impact of transportation of goods across the planet, as well as helping to build local support systems for your community both for food and other daily needs. 

• Use recycled paper : Make sure that your printer paper is 100% post consumer recycled paper. Save 5 lbs. of carbon dioxide per ream of paper. Decide whether something is really worth printing out.

• Grow fast growing plants :  Plants like bamboo grow faster and produce 35% more oxygen than trees like oak or birch, and require fewer chemicals and care.

• Replace old appliances and reduce reliance on them :  Inefficient appliances (such as refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners) waste energy. Save hundreds of pounds of carbon dioxide per year by replacing them.

• Buy fresh foods instead of frozen :  Frozen food uses 10 times more energy to produce.

• Spread The Word !!  Talk to friends, family, neighbors and your community to see what initiatives are already started, and to join in or start taking steps as a community in your area.
