Answer 5

Like the commercial says "Flick Off!" . Just turn off the lights and devices in a room when you are not using them or not in that room. (Won't necessarily stop global warming, but will "save" energy, even though we aren't really running out of energy supply)

Take a bus, train, car pool. That helps for the air pollution anyways.

I personally, think Al Gore may have had some good points, but in reality I think he was on too  much medication at the time.

Global warning is pretty much another b.s. way to "scare" everyone... Just like recycling everything (which if you do some research, is b.s. too.... but thats another question LOL)

Answer 14

What can YOU as in I?...

I've started a sustainability group in my home town which has a goal of helping as many people/schools/businesses/etc as possible to be more sustainable and help them to a lower CO2 footprint.

I'm building a demonstration eco-home which produces more power and water than it consumes, and shows consumers just what we can and should be doing. As part of the project I've got the Master Builder's Association on board who will be using the house as a demo for other builders to learn an improve their products from. I'm a residential builder by the way...

And I've reduced my own impacts by

Voting for the environment

Using 100% certified Green energy (from wind farms in my area)

Having my Super in only ethical renewable energy stocks

Recycling/reducing/reusing/composting

Growing as much food as I can

Reducing my transport as much as possible and converting to LPG (it burns much cleaner)

And then cleaning up the rest with double offsetting (RECs and native tree plantings)

The most important thing is to get active, and not just what we ourselves do, but get out and help others. There's lots more to do and time is short. We have to get cracking.
