Question

How can I do my part to help stop global warming?

Answer 1

Well, It all depends on how much you want to do.  For example, if you wanted to do some simple things, you could turn off unnecessary lights, unplug electronic plugs if they're not in use, and many other things.  If you wanted to go big than you could install solar panels for alternate energy, you could purchase a car that has high miles per gallon, and also many other things.

And if you are really interested in global warming than go to climatecrisis.net

Answer 2

Why?  A warmer planet supports more life.

Be careful what you wish for.  Global cooling, unlike global warming, would have some horrible consequences.

Answer 3

1. Reuse bags even bags made from recycled material

2. RECYCLE

3. use plastic instead of paper; paper causes more air pollution  and water pollution then plastic

Answer 4

Hey, Moe.  How do you want that steak?  Marinated is best then barbequed on a mesquite grill.  

How can I stop global warming.   Well since  water vapor is a greenhouse gas, I say we put giant tarps on the oceans and lakes to keep them from evaporating.  Then we sit in the dark in our hot houses and sweat, while burning out our sensitive electronics.

Answer 5

Don't drive. In fact, walk or ride a bicycle. Better yet, walk. That way you're not purchasing something that's been manufactured using petroleum products. Wear only clothes made from natural materials. Have the electricity turned off, so you're not supporting energy made by coal-fired electrical plants. Eat only locally-produced foodstuffs, or, better yet, grow your own. Construct a gray-water system, so water used during your shower and dish washing (natural, organic soaps, of course) can be used to irrigate your garden. Make sure you eat only those things that don't require cooking, so you're not releasing carbon into the atmosphere from fire. The smoke, you know. Gotta watch that carbon footprint.

Answer 6

Answer 9

1. Reduce, Reuse Recycle

2. If you own a vehicle own a higher efficient one like a hybrid.

3. Live downtown and rarely drive

4. Give to various environmental charities (Union of concerned Scientists, Nature Conservancy, and the Sierra Club, etc).

5. Go Vegan. Probably one of the greatest positive impacts an individual can have on the environment as meat production in more energy intensive, and creates massive amounts of methane (20x's more powerful than CO2), as well as takes us to 16 pounds of grain to make one pound of beef).

6. Buy local goods. Being a locovore is key to helping the environment when our food is shipped an average of 1600 miles. I buy at the local co-ops and farmers markets. I also buy local woods, fragrance sprays, clothing and more. Whatever I can find that is of decent quality and price I buy over non-local.

7. Gardening: I have planted many bushes trees and flowers over the last few years. I also have a food garden that brings local and sustainability to a whole new level.

8. Compost: Saves loads on trash and I need not by fertilizers which are often petroleum based. I also save on having buy and to ship in extra dirt.

9. Travel Less: Especially buy plane which literally releases tones of CO2 per passenger per trip.

10. Promote Awareness: We can't do this alone

11. Write elected officials to create green laws.

12. Put CFL's or LED's throughout your whole house.

13. Use solar and crank flashlights: They save me money and the environment in energy as well as the embodied energy of batteries.

14. Use tote bags :America uses over 380 billion bags a year that will not decompose in the landfills.

15. Drink filtered not bottled water which takes petroleum for each bottle you drink and through away.

16. Throw away a little as possible: I often find uses of people who want things in which many would through away out of sheer laziness.

17. Buy hemp clothing: grows more prolifically than cotton, is stronger fabric making it last longer, and requires no pesticides.

18. Buy recycled goods such as toilet paper, reclaimed materials for shoes, used clothing and construction materials, etc.

19. Add extra insulation to you house.

20. Walk or bike where possible; Or if you must take public transportation

Answer 10

eat more cows wich will help reduce the amount of methane gas..... thats my plan anyways
