How can i help??

Question

How can i help prevent global warming? I'm only a teenager and i really hate all the people who ignore global warming and i want to know if there's somthing i can do to help!!

Answer 1

I would definitely agree with eating less meat. You don't have to go vegan or even vegetarian if you don't want to... but the level of meat-eating in our culture is not sustainable.

I would also say try to use less stuff up. Meaning, if you can re-use it, recycle it, etc, that's prolonging the life-cycle of all kinds of things. Other companies will even help you and PAY for you to recycle your stuff. Cell for Cash (www.cellforcash.com) will take your cell phones. Planet Green (www.planetgreenrecycle.com) will pay for your inkjet cartridges. Etc, etc.

Answer 2

Go vegetarian. The Methane gas from cows and the big companies using them as meat contributes so much to global warming. There are tons of studies that say going vegetarian is better for the enviorment then switching to a hybrid car. :]

Answer 3

I don't believe in Man-made global warming but these are some things you can do to benefit both humanity and the environment....

1.Recycle whenever you can

2.Get an education and get a good job so we can spend what would have been your welfare on something else more important like the environment

3.Plant a couple shrubs or trees in your backyard.

4.Walk, ride a bike, or use the subway or train if possible for transportation

5.When you get married. Stay married with a good person because one house is alot more eco-friendly then two. (if the person you marry is a jerk than it's ok to divorce)

Answer 4

u are all ready helping by posting it here

Answer 5

Use energy bulbs in your home, turn off lights, fans, tv, heaters ect.  when your not around. Clorox now makes cleaning supplies that are eco friendly. Plant some trees, reduce your paper use, (paper cups, plates, paper towel)

Answer 6

Sorry, you can't.

it's going to take all of us and all those companies that are making big bucks off the products causing the pollution to work together.

You, as a single person can go so far as to move out of a house and live in a tent and leave practically no environmental footprint at all but if someone else is buying more gas and plastic because there is more available it does no good!

DON'T GIVE UP!
