Worried about my carbon foot print.?

Question

Should I take the bulb out of my fridge as it glows so bright?

Answer 1

The fridge light uses minimal power usage.

Any thing with a heating element i.e. electric heater, emersion tank, toaster, kettle, oven are all high power consumers.

Combustion engines are highly in-efficient, i.e. buses, cars, aeroplanes, walk to town or cycle.

Leave all the lights off in the house for a day

Answer 2

Hand wash your clothes and dry them on line. You will have an extra bonus with a smaller energy bill.

Answer 3

CO2 makes up less than .2% of the gasses in our atmosphere. It still hasn't been proven that CO2 causes any warming. Even the scientist that came up with the origonal CO2 warming idea says today that there is no proof and that they can't find, not any sign that it (CO2) causes any warming.  CO2 levels plotted against warming trends show that it warms first then CO2 increases fallow.  That would mean WARMING causes increased CO2 levels. This is what happens when Politics and science, along with the Media get tied togeather.  =  BAD SCIENCE.  The Earth has been warmer in the past and there were no cars, lights (electric) nor jet airplanes.  If farting can destroy the planet, then I guess we should enjoy it now, before it's too hot and smelly.
