How should we work to stop global warming?

Question

I want ways I can actually use to help the environment the most I can.

Answer 1

One person doing something will show about as much results as one drop of rain in a hurricane

.. . ...

You got to get a  whole hole what ever a lot of people to do something

.. .. ..

Only one will not do anything other than have all the people look at them or you like they or you need medical help

.. . ..

That is the way the world is and it -- the people who live on it -- think

.. .... ..

Answer 2

Well i know it takes more than one person to make a real impact, on preventing global warming, but  we have to start some where , and  its the old saying that you can lead a hoarse to water but you can't make him drink. Think about garbage recycling. How long did it take people to actively take part in the recycling programs. It took a while but slowly people jumped on the band wagon and got involved.

Answer 3

not even the extinction of man will stop global warming. It is a natural event that the world does. The world heats up and cools down and has been doing it for billions of years. It is questionable rather we began global warming or not but is more then likely we are contributing to it, but we don't know how much. It is also unknown if there would be any change in global warming if we stop polluting all together. there is no doubt we are affecting the atmosphere, and that is not a good thing. but the atmosphere and earth's climate is always changing and there really isn't much we can do about that except try and not to contribute to it.

Answer 4

The safe but difficult way. Recycles,use your car as little as possible, use energy efficient electronics, plant a tree, do not use hair spray.

The dangerous but easy way. Nuclear winter.

Answer 5

choke a global warming n**i and feed him to a shark.

Answer 7

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

- Use fluorescent light bulbs.

- Use less energy as best as you can.

- Do not waste water.

- Spend less time in the shower.

- Turn off lights and unplug plugs when your not using them.

- Eat less meat.

- Buy organic foods as much as possible.

Answer 11

First.....look before you leap.......

then think about it.......why does the retail cycle start with China scavenging all the scrap steel in the U.S ......then putting in on a train, then a slow boat to china, then just to return to your nearest dollar store as a made in china pancake flippers

planting one tree will not fix the energy wasted in transporting dollar store pancake flippers around the world.........nor will planting one million trees.......buying made in china products just merely puts the GHG and pollution" out of sight and out of mind"  and in a country that does not care about pollution(except for when the Olympics are coming)

Answer 12

The earth naturally warms and cools, it's cyclical.  Trying to stop it is like trying to stop winter, or cloudy days, or all the grass from growing.  It has nothing to do with people, and we shouldn't be listening to weird-science and lying politicians.  For every scientist who agrees with global warming, a hundred don't.
