Prevention of Global Warming by Jeff Cama

Here are some of the many ways to help prevent global warming. It has been found that the average home contributes more to global warming than a car, just through using electricity. One of the suggested ways to reduce the amount of electricity used in the home it to switch from incandescent light bulb to compact fluorescent light bulbs or LED bulbs if they can be used. The amount of electricity can also be reduced by developing more efficient appliances, and the obvious sale of these appliances. And finally better insulation and methods of heating and cooling to reduce the amount of energy wasted by continuously chainging the temperature of the home. The emission of greenhouse gasses can be reduced with vehicles as well. One of the easiest ways is to practice better driving and up keeping your vehicles maintenance. Fuel efficient cars also use more electricity and less gas causing global warming emissions to be cut by over 30%. The final best way to cut vehicle emissions is by simply driving less. You can instead take a bus, carpool, ride a bike or walk. The last suggestion to help global warming is to conserve energy around the home. Using lawn mowers, weed eater, and leaf blowers less will help reduce emissions. Recycling aluminum cans, newspapers, magazines, cardboard, and glass reduces the energy needed to create new products. Eating locally produced food requires less transportation of the food. Creating vegetarian meals requires much less energy. Painting your home white where it’s hot and dark where it’s cold will help conserve heat and cool air. Lastly, pick an electric supplier who produces power from wind, water, solar, or other energy sources.
