Global warming is the increase in average temperature of the earth atmosphere and ocean in the recent decades and it is projected continuation due to the buildup of green house gases causing green house effect.
Trouble is human activities are causing the increase in green house gases. Therefore, we need to take steps and find ways to prevent global warming.
We can do that by saving up electricity and being energy efficient by switching of electronics and other appliances which are not in use and replacing old appliance with less energy consuming goods.
The biggest cause of global warming is the carbon dioxide released when fossil fuels like oil and coal are burned for energy.
Here are some easy steps that you can take:
-Drive less. When possible, choose alternatives to driving (public transit, biking, walking, carpooling), and bundle your errands together so you'll make fewer trips.
-Buy energy-efficient appliances. You may spend a little more up front, but you'll save a lot on electricity, and you'll reduce pollution produced by power plants.
-Replace your light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. While compact fluorescents are initially more expensive than the incandescent bulbs most people use, they last 10 times as long. What's more, a compact fluorescent will lower your energy bills by about $15 a year, and by more than $60 during its life. It will also keep half a ton of carbon dioxide out of the air.
- Always turn off your lights and electricity when not in use.
