Answer 5

Birdie you can try by doing community service and pick up cans and trash off the streets. Turn off all the lights when you leave your house or apartment. I don't think you can ever stop global warming but you can try to help.

Answer 6

ride your bike when you go a short distance. open your windows instead of using the AC. use public transportation. if you can think of any little thing do it. one person can make a difference.

Answer 7

Take quick showers. Dry clothes outdoors.

Answer 8

Nothing. It cannot be stopped, and Al Gore is a liar.

Global warming will happen no matter what the puny Gorebots do, and to think you can is arrogant in the extreme.

This is a natural and ongoing cycle, and it has happened many times in the past without you people doing anything.

This is becoming too ridiculous to believe.

EDIT: Global warming cannot be controlled by humans. It cannot be slowed down, or sped up. Why is that so difficult to grasp?

Answer 9

Drive less. Buy organic. Simplify your life. turn off lights.

It is really pretty easy to make a differnce
