  1. You can do the green thing, where you try as much as possible to use less energy and lower your "carbon footprint" (a word coined by someone to compare a person's useage of items that cause carbon to be released). However it still won't save the polar bears by itself. We have started a chain reaction in our environment that will not stop of its own. In order to completely stop the widespread melting of glaciers and polar ice we need to do more.

    Greenhouse effect cure (there are no real cures but this may help

    till we can find one).

    First I want to point out that there are no real, viable short term,

    or easy methods of curing our Global warming woes. The damage to the

    environment has already been done and is, for all intent and

    purposes, basically irreversible.

    The damage done by increased greenhouse emissions has already taken

    its toll. This is evident by the melting of polar ice and glaciers

    across the globe.

    We cannot get the world back the way it was, even as of fifty years

    ago, much less stop the damage that will still occur in the future.

    Sure we could try to stop all industry that will cause pollution, but

    at what cost. Without industry we could not sustain the present world

    population. Giving up industry and sacrificing billions of people on

    this planet in the process, is not a viable solution (even trying to

    merely lower greenhouse emissions is at best a temporary solution).

    The biggest problem we have now is not just the fact that we have

    more greenhouse gasses trapping heat in, but we are getting less and

    less sunlight being reflected out from the planet. As the snow cover

    melts from more and more of the planets surface, the sunlight heats

    up more parts of the earth that once reflected light back out. It is

    like a dog chasing its tail (until it gets dizzy and falls from

    exhaustion). As global warming just keeps building on itself till the

    ecological balance fails, and this planet will no longer sustain the

    teeming human populations.

    It is likely, however, that any type of plan to get rid of Global

    warming, will require some type of dramatic ecological compromises.

    Some will say that all we need to do is give up industry on the

    planet and the world will eventually go back to the way it was. I say

    it is too late for that solution (as a short term solution anyway).

    My plan, however, will require the use of old tires and recycled

    plastics. Of course it will require some engineering feats also, and

    a few ecological compromises. The benefits of using these wasted

    products will far outweigh the compromises required.

    My idea is to build large floating islands (white on top, to reflect

    sunlight back out of our planet) made from used tires (filled with

    co2) and recycled plastics. Yes there are engineering and ecological

    problems, but everyone has to admit there are worse problems in our

    current situation.

    So the only feasible solution is to build a bunch of artificial

    reflection "islands" across the planet.

    There will be other benefits realized, once we build enough of these

    islands. One of the problems associated with the increased

    temperatures we are experiencing is the possibility of increased

    hurricane intensity and frequency. Having enough of these floating

    islands in strategic points in the oceans will help to alleviate this

    problem also.

    It is a well known fact that hurricanes form in areas of the ocean

    where the temperature rises above approximately 80 degrees

    Fahrenheit. If we can keep those areas below that temperature (by

    reflecting sunlight away), we can prevent the formation of

    hurricanes. Without these floating islands, hurricanes will probably

    continue to increase in intensity and frequency…

    We need a solution to deal with our Global warming woes, and we need

    it now. Even if this is a difficult path to follow, it will pay off

    in the future.

    The overall problems I see for Greenhouse effect is that we can go

    green all we want, but Global warming and our constant desire to be

    comfortable, will eventually undermine any efforts we may do. Unless

    we can get rid of some of the excess heat in this world, we will

    always be under the eventual threat of a thermal overheating demise.


  2. one word RECYCLE

  3. From what I've heard and read, Global warming is not happening. 130,000 Env. Scientists have been saying tha it is a natural happening. The Earth has actually cooled off 1 degree since 1999. Polar bears are not going to become extinct. There are more than twice as many as there were in 1982. How many times in the last 10 years has some animal reappeared that was thought to be extinct since the early 1900's, or a new spicies developed? Don't panic, just quit wasting resources.

  4. 1. don't turn on lights unless you need to (pull up the blinds before deciding if you need more light)

    2. open windows instead of turning up the ac and put on warmer close instead of turning on the heat

    3. turn off lights when u leave the room(if u turned on lights)

    4.form carpools

    5. walk or ride a bike instead of driving a car (that shoud be a hybrid)

    6.if many people in the same house r waching the same show watch it on the same tv

    7. only use energy efficient appliances

    8.take short showers

    9.turn off the water when it's not being used

    10.use trains, buses, subways to get arond

    11.recycle everthing that can be recycled even if that means taking it home withe you

    12. reuse stuff like waterbottles

    13. don't use styrofoam

    14.use all the space on the paper (both sides)befor geting a new more paper

    15.borrow books from a friend or library insted of bying it unless your going to use it meny times for a long time

    15. don't liter

    16. don't wear fur

    17. plant shrubs and trees

    18.convince other to do the same
