Global warming? How can I help???

Question

Hi my name is ashley korn. I am a resident of the united states. I have recently had a interest in global warming and I wanted to know if there is anyone out there that can help me figure out ways to help the environment. I recycle my home products and I try to use a resusable water bottle when possible, but I would like to hear other peolpes insights and thoughts on this matter. It is very important that we all take this seriously because I can personally see such a significant change with the climate....I can only imagine what a toll this is taking on our planet.

Answer 3

You are already helping. By listing this question, you may interest others who really didn't care about it before hand.  Unless you own a huge power plant that emits a ton of gases, than you can't do too much right now. The best thing you can do is educate yourself as much as you can about the current situation, the events in the past that led to this, current statistics, and what can be done in the future. Take that knowledge and educate otheres on  the Global warming section of YAnswers, and just help people who say "global warming is fake, its soo cold here blah blah blah".  learn more about politics and help pase state legislation agaisnt major pollutors in your comunity.

Answer 6

I think it is important to get involved in politics.  You can run for a number of offices locally and eventually you could be mayor, governor or even King some day.  Lets face it.  You've got talent kid.  With a question like that, it is a sure thing that you got what it takes to make a change.

Answer 7

Support population reduction.

Support Nuclear power.

Conserve energy usage,

Population is the root cause of all pollution.

Nuclear Power is our only alternative that is proved which can provide the huge amount of energy we need, and be  reliable 24/7. Cars are only about 10% of our CO2. Power is a much larger CO2 problem.

Just about anything you do to reduce fuel / electricity usage reduces pollution.

Answer 8

Don't worry about Global warming that is how you can help.

Answer 9

CFCs are also in a way responsible for global warming . Check if your a.c and ur refrigerator emits CFCs .If yes, buy another which is eco-friendly.

Answer 10

Use flourescent light bulbs. Keep the thermostat at 65 in the winter. Drive a hybrid. When going through a drive thru, tell them to keep the plastic utensils if you are going home. Carpool. Unplug electronics when not in use.

Answer 11

there are a lot of good things you can do to fight against global warming. one is to switch to longer lasting light bulbs. my whole house has. there are plenty of ways. we get all of ours from tv shows, documentaries, etc. i would recommend watching An Inconvenient Truth made by Al Gore. it is really informative. at the end credits it list ideas to fight against global warming. Good Luck!

Answer 12

Since your leader Al Gore uses so much energy with private jets and his mega mansion house I suppose you should cut back on everything.
